IMHO it looks terrible in that area. I think the pre-LCI kidney grills were a much better solution to avoid that appearance. Seriously - this gap is so huge that I had to study the pictures to determine whether the hood had been released.... The rear end is a big improvement, though....

Is it the way it is produced or did they not close it properly? I surely hope that it is not poor workmanship or design. The new Merc C Class's bonnet gap when looked at from the side is extremely wide and it looks terrible for a premium segment vehicle.

Basically, the European Delivery program saves you money, you go to Europe, pick up your car, drive without any speed limit on Autobahn and save money. Performance Center on the other hand, it's just a program, still a great one, where you get to enjoy some BMWs on track and off road. It is still fun and for those that are too busy to go to Europe, it's a great choice. I know people that actually do both, they pick up their car at the Welt in Munich and then when the car gets to the U.S, they go through the Perfomance Center experience as well. @Jon H: IMO is very different.
