Which colour etc have you chosen ?
A very loooong six days ahead
Tell me about it! Premium plus saloon in brilliant blue, got most options apart from the HUD and air freshener.

Can you post what screens you get OAT after the upgrade?
Has anyone purchased any decent aftermarket car mats?
I'm used to getting the AMG trim and didn't even think my c350e wouldn't have mats.
I have the Mercedes Sports trim mats. They seem pretty good but at about £100 they ought to be! Got them as an extra through my company car scheme.

Had good run up M5 today from Exeter to Cribbs Causeway (75 miles) getting 44mpg. Ran in "EMode" until HVB empty then "Charge" using ICE until HVB range built up to 12 miles in MFD. Then ran in "Emode" again until HVB empty and so back to ICE until HVB full again until 12 miles to go to destination then ran in on HVB to use it all up. Whew! But it worked. I'll be trying this on really long runs in France soon. Clearly on short runs the changes in driving modes have a big effect. As trip length increases the effect of each mode change reduces. I expect that on a really long trip, I won't get much better than 40 mpg. But it's fun and keeps the brain active.
Someone, was it paulhx?, gave the impression that it was possible to use some or all of the 20% reserve and so increase the HVB range from 13-14 mile to the legendary 19 miles of the advertisements. Anyone remember or know how to do this?

Someone said Eco or Comfort transmission and E-Mode hybrid gets you down to 10% battery, but it sounds like you'll be lucky to do 19 miles.
Hopefully mine will finally arrive next month and I'll be able to join the party...
I got some new fitted ones off eBay for £20 inc postage. They're black and the drivers mat has 'leaseplan' stitched into it (in black again) but as its a lease car that unbelievably didn't come with mats I didn't want to spend a fortune. The snug fit of the mats are great and definitely worth the £20 which I'm sure is cheaper than the cost of a worn floor when it goes back in 2 years.
During normal driving in hybrid & Eco mode my battery hovers at around 20% give or take 4% but in slow moving traffic it has gone as low as 8 before but usually 10 or 12%.
You'll be surprised at how addictive getting the best mpg in this car can be. I used to be a naturally late breaker and although this car does encourage you to coast which I did anyway I now tend to break earlier, even if just lightly, just to grab a bit more charge. God I love those little green bars! I've got used to the heptic peddle and think it's a great piece of technology.
Outside of this forum I believe I am what is called a 'saddo' lol

You can't change it - it always defaults to Comfort having been stationary for a while.

I've had it down to 8% usually in hybrid mode just by braking or knocking the cruise stalk down enough for the battery to kick in. And yes, I've definitely had around or over 19 miles from the battery in a single 22-25 mile trip by using cruise control to optimise the speed and top the battery up when slowing down. i have not however achieved 19 miles of pure electric driving continuously from the battery - I don't see how this is possible but I won't give up trying!
Unfortunately my car has suffered the Water ingress problem in the bumper charge point, my car has now been with Mercedes for 4 weeks. The new loom required is apparently on back order and not expected to receive it until 1st week of June. The service manager told me that Mercedes are only making the replacement looms as and when they have a problem. Not sure if that is accurate.
On a plus side I have driven a couple of different model C classes recently and proves I made the right decision with the 350e.

Damn. Seems to be so many.
Getting a bit concerned as my driveway is on a slight incline with me reversing to my garage door for a charge. Guessing this will make the ingress risk even worse?
Wonder if I could get some sort of waterproof cover for when I am plugged in..
I have my iPhone 6 successfully hooked up and the contacts call-up automatically but I can't use the touchpad to search by drawing the letters... Anybody have a solution? Wondering if I need to somehow add the contacts instead of calling them up?
