It is finally here!
WOO HOO! Finally got my 2003 C320 4-matic yesterday....a thing of beauty to see it sitting in the showroom....sunroof, bi-xenon, anti-theft, bose, full leather, heated seats....brilliant silver, charcoal interior
I must say that my salesperson is just amazing. He put the security bolts on at no charge; he threw in weather mats at no charge (pick them up today because they sent the C320 mats, not the C320 4-matic mats); he gave us a pen, two hats, two keychains, and a thermos. Also probably going to get a badge at no charge. And all this on his off-day. Great dealing with MB people, rather than snobs at BMW dealerships

THanks all
They're coming....eventually....it's a little cold today here in the GTA (-15 to -20 degrees celsius)....plus windchill....
I'm hoping to do a few things:
a) change the exhaust
b) badge & grille it
c) get the rims offered for the 2004 sport package models....those are sweet

the most fascinating aspect is the proliferation of other species; for example, the weathertech mats are able to supplant the native mats during the winter thru superior "catchability" and "deeper grooves." i hope to get enough video for a NG documentary on PBS.

Congrats, I get mine tomorrow. And by the way, where can we post the pic's? Is there a specific hosting service allowed for here. Sorry but I do not have any host of my own and would like to post pic's tomorrow after I play with the car for a while.

2010 C300 4matic
The difference between the mats is that there is a hump that sticks out of the floor on the passenger side next to the center console. This is the transfer case for the front wheels. The 4matic mats curve around this hump. It is the same way in E-classes.

Thanks.
Now I just need to take pics of the car. I got it yesterday and the wife is playing with it now. OH and the funny thing is that the dealer only told me no cruise for the break-in period of 1000 miles. He said also to cut back on WOT take-offs. I can still do them but to take it easy on the frequency of them for the first 1000. No keep it under 4000 RPM crap, said the engine is designed to be driven and driven hard.
