Much appreciated, I don't want to bother you too much plus shipping will be pain to Canada as well, I really appreciate your offer though. Do let me know if there is stock in your dealership regardless out of curiosity. Can't believe the dealerships said it is sold out globally, how is that possible.

tmrw will call Stealership to check in whole country if there's any available and if so maybe you can call your Dealer and tell them that in that specific branch in Bulgaria they have it and if possible to order it..?
about globally how it is possible.. i was asking myself as well as there's no aftermarket for our shocks and this is more painful :/

ECS Tuning also cannot get it. Are you sure you need it? Don't get caught up in what we do. Yours may be fine. And mine cost only $36 last year.

just found my invoice from last service and i notice SKU of Motul oil is the one that is SN and not SP.. 
so i will know for next time to check the bottle for SP label OR if i order it online to have this SKU 112351 - 5L and 112351 - 1L
@CaliBenzDriver btw do you service your gearbox with oem oil or you found better one

I don't service my own gearbox ATF - I have a trusted specialist that did that for me at 50% of dealer invoice with just the right blue stuff. He has gallons of, it if not barrels!!
JR! Pentosin/Fuchs recommendation is spot on.
You need 100% EXACT viscosity spec in your gearbox if not genuine only. The gearbox job is all about managing pressure with narrow margins.
The super low ATF viscosity leaves us not much room for any variation.
That gearbox may well be the best part of our powertrain. It's everything: strong, smart and reliable if you dont abuse it with heat.
It can shift under the worst conditions or can deliver the best shifts given a chance to synchronize. Be nice to it

I agree with the I should get an older car comment : ) If this was the C 450 not only that it has the 7G+ and mounts are actually in stock, insurance will be cheaper because of the lack of the three letters on the back on the vehicle : )
That said, I bought the 2017 new and I know the car well and how it was taken care of, if I sell it and buy used, I don't know the history of the replacement vehicle. VMI is confidential in Canada and I can't get a copy, All XENTRY printouts are also confidential, dealership can't share with customer.
You keeping the C 350 is a wise decision, W204 is solidly built and no rattle/creaks issues modern MBs have, I think those issues started with the W205. W204 is made in Germany too if I recalled correctly, the W205 is not.

My C350 was actually built in South Africa, according to the VIN. My 11th character is "R".
