I recently bought a 2011 C63 from a friend. Super good deal with low miles i couldn't pass up.... How can i tell if it has LSD (Limited Slip Differential)?

Stop at a 4 way and turn the steering wheel a good bit. Turn ESP off. WOT and fishtail/drift it hard. If it leaves 2 curved dark lines it has LSD. One curved line or one light and one dark and it doesn't have ESP.

There are other ways, but this is the most fun.

The burnout is the easiest way to tell, sexy ride and congratulations.

You could also do a VIN search.

just go to a parking lot and turn to full lock, even at say 3-5mph you'll hear the inside tire scuffing trying to spin, are the calipers red?

Datacard attached. Your engine is just beyond the cutoff for the headbolt issue, so you're good there. The car does not have LSD.
