I only wish we could have the coupe's seats. Also I am a bit worried I might look a bit like a drug dealer with the bling wheels and a nearly black car. Pleased I didn't ask for privacy glass

I'm surprise and disappointed mb still have not produced a brochure on the new sport plus spec and new options rather than relying on copies of dealer pdf's. They haven't even updated the website yet, June is only two weeks off !

Hi,Tenorite Grey for me as well, is the PDF you have the product guide that forecast the sport plus uptake at 19% ?Seems a little low to me given the difference in price to the sport model.

Yep, thats the one. The pictures are pretty low res sadly, it's why it was nice to see what the wheels looked like on the Coupe Sport Plus thread

It was nice to see that folding seats and a bigger tank are standard too. it makes the car slightly cheaper than the original Sport for me

Yes the seats are the same;you can't have a full leather option on the saloon though.There are some amazing discounts to be had!

I'm also about to order a C350cdi sport plus.... I was planning to go for a full leather option on my saloon.... From your note, can you not have full leather??

The coupe seats are a different design than the saloon & estate seats on the sport plus versions, same colour and materials though and on coupe you can specify full nappa leather as an option that isn't available on the saloon or estate.

The saloon seats in the picture i have, make them look like the original ones with a slitghtly different lateral stitching across the back of them......................and of course that red stitching is everywhere

We saw our Mercedes Salesman this weekend and have been amazed so far with the efficiency of the MB dealership, compared to recent experience of a certain four letter Dealership.

We now have a delivery date for the car of 26 June, which is great.

The main purpose of this post was to comment that we have been informed that it will be possible to build a motor with the Sports Plus pack on the MB website from 01 June so keep an eye out for that.

Regards

I am still to hear anybody with anything nice to say about an AUDI dealer. How do they sell so many cars?

[coley40]

Before ordering the c250 sport plus coupe I looked at the A5 and I got the impression that they thought they were doing me a favour selling me a car, obviously negotiations didn't take long before I walked out of the dealership.

I looked at both and ended up getting the Audi A5 Quattro 3ltr TDI. Its okay - adaptable, and fast when you want it; very frugal at 38mpg but doesn't have the heart of my old CLK55 AMG even though its paper performance is the same

I have to say they have been pretty good to me. Although the best service I have ever had (by a country mile) was my local BMW dealer. Sadly they were a family owned business that has now sold out to a large group, so I can't say they are still as good nowadays

Hi, new member here. I am looking to order my next comp car and looking at C250 CDI Estate Sport or Sport Plus. Unfortunately the lease comp my work use can give me no details on the changes. Could someone send me the ppt or PDF. Dragging SWMBO to a dealership just to look at seats / red stinching will not go down well. :-) Thanks Chris
