09 C63 AMG, 03 C320 Sport Coupe 96 Mustang
Brought home 09 C63

Just drove it home from Montreal and all I can say is this car is a total rock star! I am very impressed.

2009 C63 Palladium Silver, 25K kms on it and is mint. Dealer ended up putting on 4 brand new P Zeros (the orig tires were worn enough that it didn't pass the Ontario safety with them). I'm planning to put some LM-60s on and drive it in the nicer winter weather, keeping my 03 C320SC for the worst of the winter weather.

Couple of questions:
1) How do I tell what options / packages the car came with? From searching, I know: No red calipers, no Command, I think the heated seats are Std, I'm guessing it was basically a low/no option car?

2) Just looked at the door sill plate to check tire pressures - Fr 41/ Rr 45 - really?? Any one care to comment - seems fairly high, but what do I know

Are the recommended numbers before or after warmup?

The best way to tell is to ask the dealer. The VIN number is keyed to the options on the car as well, I believe.

Sill plate says COLD tire pressures.

I'm really liking manual mode Do find 1 - 2 is a little slower than all the other shifts - that normal?

Yes, just go to any Benz dealership and give them your VIN and they can print all info on your car.
