AMG DRIVERS PACKAGE

Hi There, Looking for a bit of advice...
I'm about to buy a C43 coupe. I don't have the time to have one built to my liking so I have to buy what's available. I have two cars that I'm looking at...one is almost perfect but doesn't have the AMG drivers package....would that be a deal breaker for most of you?
I can get one with the drivers package but it doesn't have leather or the exact paint I was looking for.
I feel like the performance tires and performance exhaust are a must on this car...am I right?!
Thanks in advance for your help!

also the leather interior is a must. i was so disappointed with the stock upholstery. i'm amazed at how little you get for $60K at MB. my advice is to consider this to be a $70K+ car because it's poorly equipped without all of the optional equipment.

+1 for performance exhaust, I wouldn't buy it without it. I also love the upgraded AMG steering wheel too, the stock one is okay, but the real AMG wheel is quite nice (aside from the plastic hub).

As far as tires I wouldn't say they matter, you can get whatever tires you want after you get it (I'm going to put Michelin Sport 4S on mine for summer, and Blizzaks for winter).
