Just purchased an '02 c32 AMG was wondering...
How I should go about clearing the PO's info from the car? Can I just disconnect the battery for a few minutes or...? Also if you have any other advice for a new owner I would appreciate any inputs.

It's pretty much stock
It does have the flat front emblem and a rear spoiler, but other then that it's pretty much unmolested. Brilliant siver with black on black interior. I'll get pics when I take possession of the car on Tuesday. It was owned by the wife of a business exec, so it hasn't been flogged too much either and I think I got a pretty good deal on it (paid 22.5k). Looking forward to getting it in the driveway next to my '69 bmw I just restored for some pics

You can reset the options back to factory spec quite easily. Just consult the user manual if you can't figure it out.

yeah, I read that in the manual...
I was more interested in the car "unlearning" the PO's driving habits and starting from scratch, but it looks like I can just do the trick to reset the ECU and that should clear everything. Thanks.

There is a procedure where you monitor engine conditions and drive around at certain speeds until the engine reaches x-degrees, then you drive slow for a while, etc...that's my understanding. Eventually it will just learn how you drive and 'forget' the old driver(? anyone chime in there).
