AHHHH I haven't been so giddy in a LONG time! Just wanted to share the awesome news about the Heads up display too!!

Thats great news, congratulations!

For us Australians who are unaware, what is this European delivery?

TacoTuesday

I thought for US spec cars, you couldn't configure red seat belts with pepper red/black seats?

It's an optional offer by MB/AMG dealerships in some Countries where by (if you choose to accept and pay for it) you travel to AMG Affalterbach in Germany and take delivery of your AMG there, you can then take it away for a long drive bring it back and then they'll organise to ship it over and you take delivery in the normal manner once again at your local dealer

It used to be an offer here in Australia once upon a time but not anymore - however if you wanted to do it you still can (dealer dependent) you just need to organise it all with your particular dealer and pay whatever the cost is (last I heard here in Melb. it was over 5k)

Probably worthwhile doing if you were combining it with a Euro holiday - that's what I'm most probably going to do when I'm ready to pick up a post mid life updated C205 AMG

GrussGott

Is it possible to order magno colors for a c63s? If so, anybody know the cost?

AV1

Yes, selenite and iridium - cost depends on your Country location.

Sanch

That's awesome, I can see the attraction - it would tie in perfectly with an holiday as you said. You be a great way to break it in too!

Enjoy my man, I'm sure it will be worth it. Definitely something to add into the bucket-list! haha

AV1

Yes it's something the wife and I have spoke of and she loves the idea albeit a very expensive "add on" proposition to what will be an already expensive Euro holiday anyway as well as the purchase of the car on top of all of that LOL, we are booked for a holiday in Italy in September and if we get the chance I'll be dropping by Affalterbach in Germany as well

Euro Deliveries on vehicles may very well take place in Stuttgart I'm not too sure exactly of that one and will have to check again at the time when I buy in future if it can still be done from Australia, right here and now my dealer says yes, but in 2 or 3 years time which is when I want to wait for the updated C Class AMG's who knows what'll happen...

Sanch

True you never know with our market. Worst case there is always C206 in the future!

I was not able to have the red seat belt option and the black/red pepper together. So yea I agree, I don't think you're able to configure it that way.

kowyzg0moo

So I ordered through Fletcher Jones (my sales rep always takes care of me there) and they double checked this - and it's confirmed, as long as I order a Euro delivery. A US-spec'ed, Dealer delivery custom order does NOT have that option.

Strange...but should be awesome!

kowyzg0moo

I wasn't able to to configure a Selenite Mango without having an E1 package for this order - at least thats what the Configurator allowed while I was at the dealer...

HLA

I ordered mine through Fletcher Jones too! I don't have an ETA though. We should compare cars when we both get them.

kowyzg0moo

Niceeee! What did you get? Are you doing dealer delivery or ED?

Totally down.

HLA

Dealer delivery. Our cars are going to be very similar, lol.

kowyzg0moo

Dopeee! That silver is gonna be beautiful.

When did you order? I put my order back mid-April so this November wait is crazy.

HLA

June 24, so not too long ago. I wasn't given an exact ETA, so the uncertainty is also getting to me a bit. I have a copy of the order form and the receipt for the 2K USD deposit, and the sales person is my coworker's husband, so I'm banking on that for everything to go smoothly. But yeah, the anticipation alone is stressful enough to give me a heart attack, lol.

I've seen the red seat belts on a display vehicle and its definitely something i wouldnt opt for. Cheapens the interior, and having a red strap across your chest makes it look like the ricer seat belt covers from years back

Just sayin

I like the red belts in my car, but the exterior and stitching matches, so I feel it doesn't look as loud. Cool and playful, borderline over the top. If the exterior wasn't cardinal - I may not think the same.

kowyzg0moo

I totally understand. I was joking to my girlfriend that this was my "midlife crisis" car.

Figured might as well go all out.

kowyzg0moo

Very very nice. It always will go smooth. They're great people there. I've been a customer at Fletcher for a longgg time. They always take excellent care of me and my custom order cars (this is my 3rd CTO from them).

You'll probably get an update on an ETA in the next couple weeks - I received a follow up from my sales rep (Eric) who told me that all was cleared and the order had a build date + scan of the build date sheet.

I've been busy, so didn't really care to follow up, I knew they would handle it. Just breathe, it'll be worth it, for sure. The sheer thought of this car makes me giddy inside.

kowyzg0moo

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Especially since the Red stitching and the red line on the wheel will match.

It's most peoples favorite part of the car, honestly.

Congrats and enjoy the trip!

srt2evo

I'll be over there the same time as you! Taking delivery of mine on the 3rd. Did you go with one of Merc's pre-planned trip packages?
