Thank you for sharing, I find their reviews to be spot on and I enjoyed watching this and the other older reviews such as the 997 gt3.

After a long period of being looked after by the over protective ESP omn my current AMG I think if I bought a C63 and turned it off I'd screw it up and crash it at some point

I wonder how much slip the intermediate setting allows?

It's interesting here that her refers to the performance package including 174mph top speed "delimit" and LSD, however I was under the impression for the UK that the two packages were

1) 174mph delimit and perfromance driving course
2) LSD, lowered suspension and sports steering wheel.

Can anyone confirm for the UK?

Regards

Andy

I read that for Europe the get the speed limit upped, LSD, steering wheel, better brakes, stiffer suspension, and 19 inch rims, all in 1 package, not two.

Does the U.K tend to get different packages from the rest of Europe?

eh it was ok, however the guy made an improper comment regarding the lsd where he said it already had problems smoking the tires. Moron, it will help that!

Anyone see the top gear review with the c63/m3/rs4? Why was the camber wear so bad?

Interesting. You may be right as a lot of the information on the web is cpntradictory. In the UK I thought the 19 inch wheels were seperate again, ie you did not have to have them with the other mods.

A dealer would tell me but as I am more thinking of buying a second hand one in 2009/10 it does not really matter apart from just knowing what sort of cars I will be able to choose from. For the UK the ideal option is the LSD, 18 inch wheels and soft suspension. Something that looks like it is not possible....

Andy
