Hey guys n gals, the dealer just dropped my new car off to me! Gotta say, I'm loving it! P1, amg wheels n sport package. 63440.62 out the door, delivered to my house. Thanks for all the advice in my other thread. 👍
Msrp was 60,475.00. One dealer couldn't go below 65,000. Another dealer would only go as low as 65,000. And the one I bought it from took 1560.00 off. (Tax is 8.25%) I was working with 4 dealerships so I feel I got a decent deal. The whole process was frustrating though. The dealers were playing some games and my bank kept changing the terms on me. So I just decided to buy the whole thing and be done with it lol.
Thx guys! So some thoughts after a couple days. The car is very quiet, smooth and powerful. I leave it in sport+ most of the time, and my mileage is showing as 21.9 mpg. Mostly city driving with some sane fun. It's smooth and easy in comfort, but slightly jerky in sport mode. It's easy to operate its functions, but nav is not very intuitive. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Overall, I'm very happy with it!
Yes it does. There might be a way to override it but I haven't read the entire manual yet. You can turn the auto stop/start off even if in comfort mode or for your individual setting.
I love it. Is that the lighting package you have? After the active highbeam assist on my W212 I don't think I could live without it and the way the lights move when I turn. I have to wait a few years for this beaut though. Perfect color!

Do you have to turn off the auto start/stop each time you get in the car?
Yes, but there is a button to turn it off, or you can just press up twice on the dynamic selector for sport+ which is what I do. There might be a way to keep it off permanently, but I don't know for sure. 🤔

My problem with the analog gauges is that I dont like that it is in increments of 10 mph. I dont know why since all previous generation MBs had them in increments of 20 and all of a sudden, with the w205 C class, it because 10. And now the E uses the same gauges. Its very hard to just look down and see what speed I'm at since there is so many numbers.
The digital ones revert back to the 20mph increments, and for this reason alone, I would purchase the option

So you just select the digital speed for the center graphic ...
Funny that I always keep the digital speedo up in the center cluster as opposed to looking at the gauge.
I am looking forward to trying out the HUD display. My old car had the digital speedo right up under the windshield so you can check speed without having to drop your eyes to below the steering wheel. When I test drove a BMW with HUD I realized how much I missed seeing my exact speed at a glance.

Sporty is usually jerky in all cars. That's what 'sporty' means I assume you're talking about throttle response. 21.9 is excellent for sport mode and city driving. With direct injection, fuel economy can be either really good or really bad, depending on mode and the weight of the foot.
