It'll have a lot more stuff: https://mbworld.org/forums/c219/119755-final-content-030-performance-package.html

Very nice wheels.
Well, MBUSA has a lot of misinformation. When I did some brake research, I found that a lot of times when they mentioned 13.6" rotors, and compared it with the part numbers of other cars, they were in reality much larger, or much smaller.
They are crazy. I remember when they were showing off the 2003 C32, it was the exact same photo as the 2002 C32... just photoshopped onto a different background.

Save $4500 and get the Kleemann Stage 1 mod as I did and bring your rwhp to 464 and 535 ft/lbs of torque. I promise you'll enjoy that more than the new brakes and wheels.

Of course I know they can be wrong....just wondering why they don't list ALL the options.

The ordering guide that my dealer faxed me today confirms that all the goodies are there...
LSD, body mods for larger rear tires (wonder how big?), alcantara wheel, 186 top end, AMG 19" 2 piece wheels, compound brakes, and the special AMG suspension system. It also says there are images available from the Print DOG (whatever that is?)

I found something new (I guess):
FINALLY, Mercedes managed to post the guide about the 030-package on their website (I guess that's new, haven't seen it yesterday!). 
If you visit the website about the CLS55, you see a new link about the package. This is where the link leads to:
AMG Performance Package CLS55
Still doesn't show all the goodies, but better than nothing...

I just sent them an e-mail requesting individual options of the package and a cost breakdown. Will post their reply as soon as it comes back..
