Think its just some cosmetic changes. Maybe BMW is scaring them

Its a C class elegance with the following add-ons:

• avantgarde grille
• avantgarde 5 spoke alloys
• avantgarde bumper design (a bit different from the C 230 avantgarde)
• power foldable mirrors with new style arrow shaped integrated turn indicators.

Oh finally they changed the ORVM's. I had read in a merc forum that the ORVM's were defective and were replaced early 2009 by the new arrow head design ones. The older ones were poorly designed and owners complained of excessive wind noise on autobahns.

Hopefully the mirrors are convex on both sides unlike the older one which was flat on the left. A big pain in traffic.

Actually, the C Class has consistently outsold the 3 series.

So the limited edition has the sports grill, some body kit bits, 17 inch wheels and a media interface (for iPod etc.). Not terrific value for a 1 lakh premium, yet those 60 cars should be easy to sell.

the c220 cdi parkstronic elegance has an ex-showroom delhi price of 31.62 lakh non metallic (32.25 metallic) and this car is price at 31.30 lakh, so how is it at a premium? do i miss something?

is it surely an elegance? maybe its a classic (manual) c class.

You mean the C-class didn't have electric ORVMs standard! For a car worth Rs.30L, it's a must! even the Punto has it man!

That grill alone is worth the price imho. The C looks so much better with the avantgarde grill.

Power folding ORVM and not just adjustment alone...

Its not electric mirrors. The newly added feature is electric folding mirrors. Imho, the only hatch in india which has this feature is the i20! (Not sure if the fabia has it though)

[madan80]

the front passenger seat in the C does not have an electrically controlled seat?

Just Checked out at Merc and they told that the Special Edition Is for a Premium of 1.40L Over the Elegance Variant.

Guys,

I'm in the market for either the C-classs or 320d. The price of Special Edition C-Class is being qouted as Rs. 30.82 lakhs ex-showroom by T&T motors in Delhi. Why's there discrepancy in price qouted by the dealer (30.82 lakhs) vs that when special edition was announced (28.42 lakhs)
