Hehe...that would seem rather quick. I got an update from ED on mine, and based on that the shipment cleared customs on 8/15 and entered the VPC on 8/16.

They told me to allow 10 working days at least before I see the car. Hopefully, @mrguitar 's is getting expedited after all the delays
LOL. Love the support! It's been a busy day today, and just getting back to the keyboard, but YES--it happened! I wish I had a more dramatic post planned, but in short...feast your eyes.
I'll try to post more--and better--pics at some point. Ceramic Pro appointment tomorrow and Tint on Saturday!
Wooohoooo! Congrats! Love the colors. Is that Polar white or Diamond white (metallic) or Cashmere white (magno)? EDIT: Looking at the photo from different angles, I'm guessing it's the magno.

Lol, par for course, my NY dealership actually stilled messed up and wasn’t prepared for it to arrive at the dealer so quickly...I could have actually picked it up on Saturday, if they had the paperwork ready. Which would have probably been a record since that’s only like 4 days after arriving at the VPC.
Hope you’re reunited with yours soon @superswiss !
I keep checking in on the forum only to see the news that mrguitar’s car is in.
Got to be coming in sometime soon.
@boosteddub69 lol thanks for sharing in my excitement. Always fun to pick up a new car! Now,
waiting for one to be built??? I’d rather scratch my eyes out. Lol!

Bingo! Cashmere white magno...it’s a gorgeous color. Soooo happy I picked that color.

Nice! Congrats on finally getting the car. I'm optimistic that I'm getting mine before the end of the month.

Hey, at least you got to enjoy driving it for like a month already! Don’t have to worry about break-in...it’s going to be a looong 1000mi for me since my office is right down the street from my house.

Two months actually, but yes, I already know how it drives and it's broken in. Took me about a week for the first 1000 mi, and dropped it off with 6200 miles on the clock 8 weeks later
The W205 (sedan) for the North American markets is made in Alabama, USA. Has been like this from the beginning. The sedan is not available for European Delivery as a consequence. The coupe and cabs are made in Europe, in Bremen, Germany to be exact and are available for European Delivery. The sedans for the European and other markets are mostly made in South Africa. The wagon is also made in Bremen as far as I know.

Congratulations! Sharp color combination!! Now, drop the top and go for a drive...
Tell us all about how you find the exhaust
sound after you’ve completed running in.
thanks @Uga Uga ! I will definitely comment on that lol...that said, probably to my benefit, i have not been a previous C63 owner so my experience will undoubtedly be more positive no matter what, since i'm coming from an M4...will report back of course though.
