2015 FL B-Class

Recommended Posts

Was at the motorshow yesterday afternoon.

They are displaying the FL due to arrive on our shores soon.

Was surprised at the 'show promo price' they quoting ... much much lesser than what the SE told me to entice me to book their last shipment ... feels :(

Anyway .. mainly external changes ...

Still think the PFL W246 front looks more elegant and the more aggressive face dun gel w the tall stance of the W246 ... self consoling yeah ..

But like the rear diffuser ... way better than the PFL which I always feels it's like wearing a skirt too short and revealing too much of an ugly bottom.

In any case think the rear bumper remains the same which means an easy conversion

Interior wise, the 2 things that stand out was the brushed alu memory seats button and the same on the buttons below the audio

And the new shaped buttons on the steering

The larger screen is probably the only I really yearn for .. off cos Elebest can easily fix that

Bottomline : improving the already good W246 a small notch better aesthetically

Hi denwee

I just bought the B180 in Nov last year and took delivery last month. The latest B180 is quite the same as the last model.

The front and back bumpers are changed n the front grills refreshed. Some new buttons and bigger centre display.

What I noticed is the change in the time to reach 100 km per hour. It is stated in the specs as 9.1 seconds, but it used to be 10.2 seconds? Anyone knows why?? The engine is the same. The power n torque also same. How come?

Definitely can be done ... just a matter when and how much.

But supposed it could be at least a few months wait

I am surely continually browsing for this ... will post when I come across anything.

We buy together surely can at least save on freight.

Newbie on W246 reporting here.

Has just booked a W246-II B180 last weekend based on launching price, because the package is quite attractive.

 

How is this car so far?

I like the space but the response during take off is slow, need to press the pedal harder to feel anything.

 

By the way, when they say they will install solar film to the car do they install the darker films on the rear passenger windows and rear window?

 

Thanks for any information in advance.

You can let your SE know if you prefer all round lighter tone, or darker at the rear.

 

Consider a throttle response device so you need not step that hard on the pedal

Welcome bro to the club.. btw CnC giving cheap and not good solar film, so if you want good solar film prevent heat you need to find someone else.. For me i call absolute film do for me nice nice ..For response during take off is slow.. I think to install unichip to boost the response but not cheap.. Still my plan..

Thanks bro for all the fast response.

Yah, I heard the solar film is of the "normal" kind, but since free and cannot discount more if dun want, just take loh.

Majority, my vehicle will be in shades so I think not much of an issue.

 

Will try out more on the response after I have taken my vehicle.

I have booked a black on black though, where normally people will go on a black on bleach version.

Only thing is that though the steering is good to hold, it is not leather wrapped which is something I don't expect of a luxury brand.

Other than that, all else looked premium.

 

For new FL W246, the front and rear bumper all added a trim of chrome stripes at the end of the bumpers so that it will not look so plain. Of course the urban trim will come with the twin exhaust chrome tips built in but I think that's a lot to pay for just for that.

You buy the B180 sport version or the chrome version??

 

B180 is underpower..

Now C&C only bring in B180 Style version and Urban Version. Engine is the same unless you are going for B200, which is the same engine basically but boost up the power and torque rating.

 

They not bringing in sports version this time due to many complaints on the comfort level (what they say)

 

But B200 is a 1.6L CATB engine, hence much higher in costs.

All i can recommend you just spent about 1-2k can tune up...more power less fuel consumption. Install piggyback, please find one piggyback that can bring to other car when u selling your b class you can save alot. but you going back to CnC service please unplug it.. that all u can save from you warranty.. Now keep on finding sport diffuser for my B class..

The motor show pre-launch price is close to 10k cheaper than what most Bros here have paid for their pre-FL W246. Ie. Very VFM.

The 8 inch LCD upgrade already worth 1k+. Then the nicer rear diffuser ...

Steering wheel leather ? I did not noticed.

Power wise .. Initially I complain a lot as my other ride has 240horses almost double the B180.

But after awhile .. it really seems ok once I get used to the throttle response.

In any case .. if power not enough ..

I have a racechip ultimate bought for my wife B-class. But she is not keen to install.

Anyone interested to take over .. pls pm me. Lehlong price ...

Thanks to all.

 

I will try out the response first before deciding on any mod.

Nowadays in Singapore you are only as quick as the car in front of you, and in recent times, the car in front of you is always travelling at max 90km/h becos the car in front of her is travelling at that speed. LOL.

 

Yes, I buy the W246 because it is VFM at this time, but they introduced this in anticipation of lower COE too (40% increase in qty).

But what they offered to me already very good, plus the overtrade on my old car I couldn't reject the offer.

Heard from other forums that the ECO mode will turn default on after starting car everytime, and that the air-circulation mode in car will also auto off after every 30 mins and will need to turn on again everytime.

Any brother / sister can confirm this?
