Hey James must have missed this. Hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying mine. Although the wife is laughing at me buying all these products to wash the car. Didn't realise washing up liquid wasn't good for the paintwork until I looked at the detailing section?

Hi Camchan! The dealer never sent the pics so I'll have to wait until Thursday before I'll be able to see it...not long to go now! Funny what you're saying about the detailing products...I've been on the same case today. Want to look after the new motor hey!

Bet you're like a kid at christmas. 12 miles...! Engine must be tighter than a nuns chuff.
How long does it say "running in" takes?

Its more like 120 miles now...went for a little run last night! Seems very quiet and tight, folks complain about the refinement of the 2.1 diesels but its miles better than the V50 diesel I've had for the last 4 years. I test drove 320d, 520d and the Jaguar XE 2.0d before ordering the C220 and none of them were any better - all seemed strong and refined (for a diesel) to me.
The dealer didn't mention a run in phase...I might ask him. I've been kind to it mostly but have given it the beans a few times too, cars are to be driven in my opinion!
Need to work out how everything works now!

haha...yes it does! I almost bought an air freshener yesterday and then stopped myself as I didn't want to lose the 'new car smell'.
It will no doubt smell of 'man-ness' in a week or so - at which point I'll be in the car air freshener aisle.
One thing that surprised me...the car was slightly dirty when I picked it up, looked like it had been left out in the rain. If I were the dealer, I would have polished it again to make it look 100% pukka. No problem though, an excuse for me to buy a bunch of autoglym and spend a few hours with it on Sunday

Plus the 'start button' was in the cup holder...hence the keys in the ignition...I found it last night and plugged it in myself! The key stays in my pocket now...

Arrrrrrrrrr!!! I should have ordered that colour!

Premium Plus is awesome in my opinion happytalk...bigger screen, command and the 600w Burmester. Mmmmm. Although, the Premium gives you the biggest bang (ambient lighting, keyless go, memory and the roof) so not all is lost!
What colour did you go for?

STOP IT STOP IT!!! bigger screen? Command? 600w's? Arrrrrrh!!! Hehehe.
We sacrificed the premium plus pack for metallic paint (brilliant blue)
We could have got solid paint and Pemium plus pack.
Have we made a mistake? I wish we'd have joined this site when we were thinking about ordering.
Added 360 degree camara too.

My neighbour recently took delivery of a Palladium silver estate and I was really impressed with the quality and general feel of the interior , I used to have a 53 plate C180 saloon and the quality of the interior was very disappointing , the plastic on the door armrest was so thin that it split when the car was about 2 years old.

Yes, I think MB had to tackle that issue. The motoring world came down hard on them around that time for poor builds and cheap materials.
Just shows you what effect the media have on manufactures .
What car do you have at the moment?

2013 facelift E220 coupe , interior quality very good but not as stylish as the new "C" class.

Love the E Class coupe too. looks great.
Yes, it was the interior that won us over.
looked at 335d M Sport Touring but although the drive, engine and speed was better. it's a very old shape now. Been around a long time albeit with a few facelifts.
C Class due next month. :bannana:
