Sport package???
Last year, here in my country (Portugal), MB offered a special sport package, with special interior and among other things sport suspension and sport brakes (front drilled discs), so I want to know if you guys in US have this package and if you know that I can put these discs on my coupe?
thanks
thanks

The brakes offered where not AMG, they look like stock but the front discs where drilled, all I want to know if some one have these discs from factory to see if they are the same size as the other ones from stock, if they fit, I will fit them in my coupe (a lot cheaper then them AMG brakes) 
I dont think MB will offer AMG brakes in a C230K!!!
thanks

see this pic (the one with the three models) at MB site and do a zoom at the wheels of the limousine or station and see the brakes I'm talking:

The brakes with the sport package where available for the three models (I think)
So, these brakes mybe bigger than the stock ones on the coupe!!! it would be great changing only de discs, but it looks like a bit impossible!!!

the 2005 model, C230 K sports Sedan and C55 AMG have the same size front rotors, which is 13.6" cross drilled, the only difference is C55 have 4-piston calipers instead of 2-piston in the 230k sports.
for the rear rotors, C55 is 11.8" 2-piston calipers, and c230k sports sedan uses 11.4 single piston calipers.
but on the sports coupe, the front rotors are only 11.8" single piston

the emblium on the wheels.
I have the stock, non C7 package wheels. I noticed in the pics posted earlier in this thread by pokerface, that the MB wheel logo can be swapped to match the flat hood orniment. Is my observation correct or are they different wheels? If my observation is correct, can someone provide part numbers?

beavermjr, just go ask for Medallion centre caps.. they'll know which one you're referring to, as they were standard on R170's (not sure if it came with any other one)... C7 Evo rims had them too I think?

they are just center caps.
You can find them at MB Dealerships (parts dept). Just ask for them.
They have the regular MB star (chrome or silver), or the MB emblem (like the flat hood badge). They are all the same size on the newer C-Classes. They're all over eBay too, some are knock-offs though, so be careful.

mine came with the center caps with the star and the laurel wreath. i much prefer those over just the star. i wish the star on my steering wheel has the laurel wreath as well, like the R170 SLK's.

USA with Sport Paket
To answer your question, all USA model sport sedans (C230 and C320) have the Euro Sport Packet as standard equipment from MY04.5 onwards. This is optional in ROW. Since MY05 all USA model sport sedans have also AMG bodystyling standard equipment! Awesome car!
The brakes were originally Brembo 4 piston but switched to dual piston during MY05. Similar stopping power though and they still look cool.

so which year(s) got the 4-piston calipers??? mine is a 2004.5 with the 4-pistons, but it doesn't seem that all of the 05's got it and not all prior to 04.5 go it either, what gives?
