2012 e wagon q's (PP, Parktronic, etc)

[stefario]

do you people think the PP is worth it? looking at Renntechs site, they are offering 669 hp and 735 TQ for 3500$ Does the PP change the suspension? on the Canada site it doesnt mention suspension anywhere, this is my main concern, I had a C63 and it was WAY too tight for everyday driving IMO. What is the deal with no Parktronic? i heard the bumpers wont work with it, but they have it on the 35o Wagon...This system saves alot of touch ups on the paint!

I have a PP Stateside Wagon- the suspension is not the stiffer set up like my PP on the CLS63TT. Its the standard AMG suspension but I think the wagon dynamics are better suited to the std AMG suspension vs the CLS which IMHO needs the stiffer set up. I also dont have parktronics nor is it an option; I do have the back up camera though.

As for the tune- Im not sure I want the tune so I was fine paying the factory cost of the PP- basically 12% off the msrp of 6300.00- I love the steering wheel LOL.

Vic55 - what do you mean basically 12% off the MSRP of 6300? did you get 12% off MSRP for your car? i aimed WAY to low then

HAve you driven a C63? any noticable difference in the suspension / ride? i drove a e63 wagon last week but coming from my e550 of 1.5 years i cant remember the c63 much...i just know it was too tight..so was the seat.

I was guessing at the factory invoice on the PP... (not dealer invoice)

I have driven the C63 without the PP- but it was a while back I dont have the perspective. But I would have to assume that the springs in the C63PP are going to be a harder ride than the Non PP spring front rear airmatic of the wagon.

The seats are great in the wagon with the ugraded leather trim. The are wider than the C class I believe.

i knew vic would be first to answer this thread

i have the PP in the sedan,
in terms of the suspension in basic setting, its actually quite smooth, i was surprised so its nice for daily driving, and wife and kids

in terms of the power difference, i got the PP, but will 550hp /590lbft let me do anything different than 518/516, probably not , but oh well.
yeah steering wheel is nice...
