What color/options did you go for?

I've ordered a Mountain Grey with Black MB-Tex interior. I almost went for the premium package, but just opted for the range package and paddles.

I am still waiting to hear from the local MB dealership about when delivery is expected. I haven't ordered an Electric Drive yet until they can tell me how long of a wait it will be.

If I was to order one, I would keep things simple, with the only extra being the range package of course!

Colorwise I would go for a light color to keep it from getting as hot in the sun... likely cirrus white wince all of the silver/greys cost extra.

I am surprised that you can order 2014 models. The information from bay area dealers is that 2014 models are locked.

What do you mean locked?

Steve on this forum has already received his, and he is in Studio City. Apparently, a dealership in Arcadia has 2 vehicles on the lot: http://www.mybclasselectricdrive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=111

He means that you can no longer place factory orders for them, only 2015s...

Oh I c. I don't think anyone specifically said it was a 2014 MY they were trying to order?

And perhaps Steve and others got a 2015...

Also, sometimes there will be a temporary lock when the factory is doing model year changeovers, even if they don't affect a specific vehicle...

They have a white one with premium package available in Hoehn MB in Carlsbad. When I talked with one of the salesman, he said that if I ordered one it would not get here until around October.

If it also helps, they give $7500 for the lease and the residual is 44% for 36 months. I didn't catch the mileage allowed per year though. I'm waiting for the actual B-class specialist to call me in order to get more information. The salesman I sat down with was not all that helpful and was off-putting since he kept referring to these cars and my Rav4EV as "hybrids."

I would order just the red one with backup camera and range package.

Two months is not atypical for a factory order on a German car... My BMW and Audi both took exactly 7 weeks.
