Back to the C. Has anyone got any info on the 2002 changes for the C? Apparently, the salesfolks have the list of changes for the 2002 ML already (and a nice list it is ;-)
Anyone friendly enough w/ a salesperson to coax the info out?
It costs half of the regular 5 speed automatic gearbox in Germany: 1604 DM versus 3305 DM. Using a similar ratio in Canada, that means the SMG should cost as little as $750 CDN as an option. That is, until the marketing people get their hands on it and probably mark it up over here beyond all reason (as they've done with some other options).
Nevertheless, I wonder if this option is planned for North America this year.
Has had the opportunity to drive this car in winter conditions (snow and ice)? If yes, could you please let me know how the car handled, for example does it get stuck alot because of RWD?
FYI, the 4-matic AWD option will be available on the C-class for the '03 model year (fall of 2002).

Thanks
Car and Driver always has a bias for the "sporty" car, so BMW always wins even though the car may have no trunk space, no passenger knee room, or a horrendous reliability problem.

my guess is that the rims are 400 to 500 dollars a. I wanted a full sized alloy for a 1986 audi 4000cs quattro and it was about $350. The rims are the same size as the standard ones. id' wait until the dealership has some "takeoffs"they'll be much cheaper.
To answer your question about purchasing a C320 with the sport wheels. I purchased my C320 with the sport wheels and the dealer out in Southern California where I bought mine charged me an additional $800 for the wheels. You can order any wheel for your car for an additional charge. AMG supplies many of the wheels for the Mercedes models. I personally didnt like the wheels that are standard on the C320 so I opted for the sport wheel. But you can select any of the other wheels that are the same size. Good luck in negotiating a price.

Well, after doing my "homework" I've decided
on a 2001 C240 with the sports package. I plan
to see a dealer (on Long Island) by the end
of April. I know there's a 4+ month wait ..but
I can wait.
A (now distant) second was the Lexus is300 -
third being an i30, fourth a beemer 330i. The MB *6 speed manual* and the features that are packed in as 'standard' on this car, plus, the fact that
it's a Merc for goodness sake, clinched it.
BTW, does anyone - who got the sports package -
have the time to tell me what TYPE of tires
come on the 5-spoke rims (Michelin?).
TIA,
Gerry
(My other car is a Contour SVT)

I was about to ask you why you selected 15w50 Mobil 1 to take into the dealer for an oil change. Then I wandered into my local WalMart and found that the only choices were 0w30, 10w30, and 15w50, so I got the 15w50. As cold as it gets in San Diego is as cold as I want to get. I called MB of SD and they quoted me slightly different prices, but I suspect the guy was talking off the top of his head. He did go look at their drum of Mobil 1 and reported that it was 0w40.

You seem to have most, if not all, the answers. When I am on the Edmunds boards at home, IE on Windows 98 knows which is the last message I saw on a given board and takes me to the next in line. At work, using IE and Windows 95, when I select a given board on my Favorites list, it always goes to the same message and I have to manually skip to the end of the message list, and then have to back up to the last message I can remember. What am I doing wrong with the setup??
Thanks for the help...

This is whacky, but probably legitimate for 420 hp and 0-60 in 4.9 sec... ...and a gazillion $$$
What can I say, it's hard to beat a C...
I would love to be locked in at this place for a weekend, of course only if there is a back door large enough for a car to fit... <G>

As to your last message, here is what you need to change:
1. Remove the pointed bracket in front of the first quotation mark, and place it before the letter i of img
2. Erase everything (even spaces) EXCEPT THE QUOTATION MARK between the first equal sign and the letter h of http
This will pull your pic!

I found this posted elsewhere by nabzy, hope he doesn't mind me posting it here! Very interesting info, but nothing new for the C240/320, except for a new white and green color. Not sure if they're all new colors or new names for the old ones, the old green and whites are gone for 02.
I am #1 on the list but they won't give me any details.
What has your dealer told you?
Glad I got in when I did as the memory feature is wonderful.

Check it out, the C32 sounds awesome! Some guy at bimmer.org posted this, I doubt he'll mind if we all take a look!
Is it just my computer, or is this forum taking forever to load? It works fine for other threads at Edmunds, just not this one.
Yes, it does appear that the power seats ($1200) are no longer standard on the C320. Does anyone know the new base prices for the 240 and 320? If they have lowered the price by $1200 and made the seats optional, that's one thing. But if they have kept the 240 vs. 320 price spead the same, and now you've got to pony up $1200 more for the seats, that's a total ripoff. Demand for the 320 appears to be much less than the 240, and this will only make it worse. I was toying with the idea of going with the 320, but this may push me back to the 240 for sure. No standard CD or power seats for close to $40K, no way...
