Name a cool/interesting feature or function on your C63 that surprised you.
Just as the title suggests: What is a cool, interesting or surprising feature/function on your C63 that you stumbled upon because you didn't initially know about it?
I'm sure that if enough people chime in, this thread will "teach" people some new features or functions that they were previously unaware of.
I'll start (although this one is a little weak): I found it cool/helpful that on one of the screens in the AMG Menu the oil temperature is displayed in blue until the oil reaches its ideal operating temperature. Would've loved a feature like this on my old F30 335i.
Let's hear some others. There has to be some better ones than that, too.

There is a W204 secrets thread floating around.
I guess one is if you try to drive off with your parking brake on, the dash flashes red.
S+ mode will shift for you at red line automatically.
You can see your wheel position, compass, and altitude under the GPS menu.

Point the key fob at the drivers side door handle and press and hold the lock button. If you have keyless entry, you can also touch and hold the little touch sensitive spot on the door to do the same thing.

The newer cars have CSS+M. Older cars just go to S mode and click the downshift paddle or use the shifter. That puts you in S+.

if you use the direction pads on the steering wheel and press: ^, ^, v, v, <, >, <, >, +, -, OK, you'll get a cool little secret animation on the Navigation LCD screen.....

no dyno mode is right next to reseting the service light. thats some non sense he put up there lol. how about drive down the high way and shift the car into reverse.... it'll just go into neutral since it knows your idiot and wont self destruct. Or leave your dipstick not pushed all the way down, it'll turn your check engine light on over a few days.

The coolest feature for my 08 is probably where the whole speedometer screen turns red to tell you to shift up during manual mode.
What I found surprising about this car is how often I have to get gas...lol

Question: On the standard C63, is there any way to get some sort of performance-oriented data on the COMAND screen? I'm talking about estimated horsepower output, torque output, etc.? I had something like this on my old F30 M Sport 335i. I realize it's kind of a gimmick but it's an entertaining feature at the very least.
I thought I saw some kind of "sport" displays on a C63 once. Is this available only on the Black Series?
