What do you want to know?

James,

Linked across from my other post ref the 2019 US dealer Ordering Guide for the AMG C43 Coupe. If we are looking at May for UK specs and pricing - and the coupe doesn’t come with saddle brown performance seats - what’s the likelihood of getting it specced with? Given they’ll be built in the same factory that will be doing the designo saddle AMG seats?

I did also ask Mercedes Mayfair (I’m abroad and they supply tax free) about alternative paint colours.... have you ever specced a Merc with a non standard paint colour (ie available within the range but not for the model)

Cheers

You’d need to get them to contact the AMG performance lounge, but it’s hugely expensive. Honestly not worth doing on that kind of car. Custom colour on a GT is 12k

I was just about to type it's around that price.

If you're planning to customise to that level, get over to the AMG factory and see some of the customisation options. It might then feel like better value, and certainly more special.

Rgr, thanks - they did say it was possible but weren’t sure on the cost. Guess as you say kind of pointless, given it’d effectively write off the tax free saving!

Got any thoughts on the seats?

Cheers

Ack - cheers. Be nice to spend a day doing that, but can’t stretch to a full fat 63, esp as the purchase can’t include finance as I’ll be exporting tax free.

When we were there they had several GLE43 AMGs and even GLE400 in for customisation, so unless things have changed they'll be able to do a C43 AMG. Expensive though.

That’s interesting had assumed it’d be full fat only.

I’ll ask the question today and post back the detail when I have it.

Thanks mate, guess it’s a wait out till the U.K. detail is out.

If I do dig anything up - I’ll post it here.

Cheers

Some new model year info. Today MBUK introduced the E53 in saloon and estate variants. Also, the new E400d 4Matic

James,

Just been on-line to the Mercedes Benz UK website and the e class cab and estate pricelists have gone and the option to build the car - any ideas how long for and is it to update with all the new CO2/economy figures or is there about to be a spec/engine change. Not that I am worried about the engine (diesel 220 is right for me) but keen to know if the cab is getting a light interior option for the UK market

I think you’ll see all models change on the site in the next two weeks. I’ll put an update on here for any model info I get

C63S only has different grill and wheels outside, and updated dash and COMAND inside. Poor try IMHO

The Chinese will have a grill out next week to replace the original grill on my car....

RR

Is that all the difference ? its one of the things slightly putting me off buying the current model, knowing its about to be replaced ?

JBD All hybrid options have disappeared from the Merc website, C350e and E350e?

Do you know what's occurring?

 

[BfgSLKMan]

Follow the links in what I posted on the "Mercedes news" forum. I know it's in German, but I'll give you a tough translation tomorrow, but it does list all the new post 01 Jun 18 engines and their new co2 values

Can the new specifications be ordered now though JBD?

I have a meeting planned to the dealer tomorrow.
