Mercedes, if you are reading.. . a wish list..

Feel free to chime in with yours..... sedan, coupe or convertible.

1. Why can't you automatically retract the seat at the same time you raise the steering wheel?

2. 265's on the rear of the AMG sedan on 9.5" rims... really?

3. Why isn't the chrome strip on the trunk blacked out with the Night Package? Why is it, the the side V8 and the trunk AMG logo and C63 S the only remaining bright chrome.

4. So far I'm very impressed as a new to AMG (not Daimler) owner.

5. AMG door pin seller guy says I need to pull the real door panels to install. Deal breaker for me. C350 (W204) was pull and push down replacements. Nothing rattles or squeaks so I'm not pulling anything apart.

6. Post your pet peeves and let's think/hope MB corporate reads these blogs.

1. Errr can't say I've ever tried this or ever needed to adjust both at the same time. Wouldn't it make sense that you adjust either the seat position and then the steering wheel position (or vice versa) to get the right driving position?

2. Buy the Coupe if you want the more "sporty, performance" oriented variation. Comes with 10.5'' rims and 285's stock, can be upgraded to 305's on stock rims with no rub.

I was referring to when y9ou place it in park and the steering raises but the seat does not go back for ease of exit/re-entry.

2. Because I'm older than you and more comfortable in the sedan.

If you have people in the back seat and when you open the door if the seats moved back, wouldn't you crush the people behind? I am glad it doesn't do that. As for the PIN, in W205, you can just unscrew it and screw on new ones.

265 is definitely not enough for a sedan to put the power down, you need at least 295 to get some good grips.

Please give us a carbon roof for the c63 coupe, or at least let us spec it without the pano.

Thanks for the info. The guy selling them on here said you have to pull the rear door panels, which did not make sense since my 2013 C 350 was just a pull off and pop new ones on.

You run 295/30/19 if I am not mistaken on sedan. Is that right?

Agree on all points, adding mine here:

1) More cracks and pops as munis mentioned above.
2) I'd wish that the shuffle function when I stream Spotify from my phone over BT actually didn't just play what appears to be shuffle for 20 songs then goes on to play the same songs over and over again. Don't know if it's a Spotify issue or MB issue, but never appears when I stream Spotify on my phone over BT to my Bose headphones...
3) Quality control your damn cars MB, a premium car is not a premium car unless you ensure it is when it leaves the factory. Weird freaky sounds and creaks makes me want to hit my head against the wheel. Not good.
4) Give me an option to put the exhaust in Race mode, that ensures the valves are open 100% at all RPM.
5) Don't let the RS-models from Audi sound better than yours with the factory mounted exhaust, you can do better MB.

Not being able to delete the Pano roof is a real bummer. One of the main reasons I don't have a coupe in my garage (yet).

FWIW, I dumped 6800 songs from my collection to a 64gb Sandisk SD card and plugged that into the slot. My whole library on voice command.

Fingers crossed on mine, no noises, creaks or rattles but I've only had it a week and 300 miles.

295/35/19, I chose 35 instead of 30 because I want the tire to have an aggressive looking, and 35 should feel more comfortable than 30.

I've stopped downloading songs since a few years apart from a few that Spotify doesn't have, but that sounds great. And yes, crossing my fingers for you too. I have a 2015 so let's hope they fixed all these small annoying things about the cars for your model year.

This is my only complaint, the pano roof creaks and makes so many noises when the chassis is flexing on corners etc. I'd rather have a CF roof like the M4.

Have the regular retracting sun roof as I had standard in my 2013 C350, although it is quite larger. No noises so far but have not exactly gone apex hunting yet either.
