C63 equipment lookup, engine number, etc. via VIN?

Hi everyone.

My interest is mainly to confirm if a particular car came with the performance package (or some incomplete version of it) and I would also like to get the engine number...and...if possible...the window sticker!

I tried to join EPCnet but of course...it doesn't work! I emailed them last week with no response.

I can PM the VIN if anyone can help me

Thanks!

that's the problem. this one does not have a suede wheel from what i can tell. though apparently '09s can have incomplete packages without the brakes, steering wheel, etc. a friend who had an '09 and now a '12 (with the P31 package ) explained it to me. the dealer says it has the speed limiter raised and an LSD...but in the listing, it only refers to a "Limited Slip Differential Lock".

i am willing to bet the dealer can provide some semblance of a window sticker for the car or something printed for me to review but it's the weekend

I have an 09 c63 with partial p30 package. I have alcantara wheel, LSD and speed limiter raised but no brakes and tighter springs. I hope this helps.

Sorry for all the pics still new at this with posting pics
Here is my alcantara wheel as well. I called a MB dealer and I gave him the last 8 digits of the vin code and when he pulled it up he confirmed it with me over the phone.

Thanks everyone. MagasC63, that's what I'm after...nice to see it say "limited slip differential lock" because that is what this one says.

I will hit up Valvestud, Roswell. Thanks.

PS: MagasC63, i'm very familiar with vB - just go to "manage attachments" and instead of just attaching one picture per post you can attach as many as six per post on this forum

he responded with the sheet to my email. i thanked him for helping a complete stranger.

so it has 471 and 251, just as the dealer said. those are the only performance pack options on the car. out of all the performance options 471 is the most important for me
