Today I picked up my new car at the dealer. We were done by about 12:45pm and I spent the rest of they day driving and playing with her. Of course I was careful to not exceed the break-in rules.

I'm quite happy.

Here's what I got:

P02 Premium 2 Package
320 Multimedia Package
318 AMG Seating Package
P31 AMG Development Package
471 Rear Limited Slip Differential
359 Mercedes-Benz mbrace
889 Keyless Go Card Key
218 Rear Electronic Parking Aid With Camera
293 Rear Side Airbags
201 Black Leather Interior
792 Palladium Silver Metallic
Black Maple Wood Trim - -

The car had come into a dealer in CA and was almost identical to another car the dealer had ordered for stock that is due in April. My dealer was able to get the car up to WA for me. If I would have ordered it myself the only thing I would have done differently is _maybe_ get the carbon trim. But after driving it with the black maple, I'm now certain that would have been a _total_ waste of money.

My only real disappointment is the dealer had already attached the front license plate holder thus fraking up the front bumper with 4 disgusting holes. Arrrg.

Sometime soon I'll set her up for a real photo shoot, but for now here are the pics I took at the dealer.





I doubt I'll have > 1000 miles on it before the dyno day I understand is happening here on the 27th. Too bad.

The only mods I have planned are to tint the windows and maybe black out the chrome trim around them. Seems perfect otherwise.

Cheers!

Congrats!

Does this look familiar?



My friend is a master tech at barrier and he took a snap shot of the oem c/f spoiler and sent it to me to make me jealous/buy a c63. I can only assume he did the PPI on your car; I was quite surprised to see that exact one here on the board.

Wecome and again, congrats!

Congrats & enjoy dude!! Im with you, the CF trim, IMO is a complete waste of money. Maybe vs the aluminum (and at $2500 thats a HUGE maybe) but when I saw the black maple it was a wrap.

Awesome looking car! I hope it has the same impact for you as mine had for me.

Very Nice Colour choice , I wish P31 is available in Australia...

Congrats on the new car and please keep us informed on your impressions and enjoyment of driving it.

That car is nearly identical to the one I ordered for April production and I can hardly wait to get it.

I skipped on the CF trim and I really happy to hear that you and rory breaker are certain it would have been a waste of money.

Enjoy!

Good luck mate! There is no better feeling than pulling out of a dealership with a new car!! I love it! Almost better than sex..

This made me LOL. Because I had to "pull out" of the dealership 5 times yesterday.

1. On the test drive. I had never driven one of these and even though I put $ down to get the dealer to get the car here, I was perfectly willing to walk if I didn't like driving it. I was concerned it might be too "uncivilized" to be my daily driver (and for my wife to drive occasionally). Some reviews, and especially the Top Gear episode, made it sound pretty brutish. I focused my test drive on how easy it was to drive smoothly and I was rewarded with a confident feeling.
2. On my wife's test drive. Funny thing was she drove a LOT more aggressively than I did. (Because I _knew_ the car had tons of power and handled well).
3. After we bought it.
4. After we got to my kid's Lacrosse practice and realized my wife had left her phone & purse in the back seat of the A6 we just traded in; I had to drive back to the dealer to get it.
5. After I got home and was reading the manual and noticed it was an E Class manual. I had to drive back to the dealer to get the right manual.

He, he.

Damn! That’s like 5 cars worth of orgasms!!

If you had to do that back and fourth doing anything else it would have drove you crazy. At the dealership im sure you had a smile on the entire time.

Congrats, an amazing looking car.

Did the dealer install the front plate brackets?? I hope they didnt drill into the sexy front bumper.

RLx02

i'll smack my friend for not checking the owners manual before giving the keys to ya lol

j_woody

how was working with Barrier? they cut you a good deal? any idea if they are a "mod friendly" dealership?

Looks great. My first choice was palladium

Sincity

Congrats. My favorite color is Palladium and by July of last year, there weren't many color choices left and I "settled" with Iridium.

MBDog

let us know how the hp bump is

Even Money

i would have got the palladium, if I weren't a sucker for the 040 black..

the palladium looks even better in person, btw. Your car would be a perfect match for some gunmetal rims..

Congrats on the car, man! It looks gorgeous!! Try to come by for the Dyno Day this Saturday to chat, socialize, and check out the local MB scene.
