Upgrades? 19 inch wheels? Better Stereo?

Just about to place an order for a new C63 AMG. Like the look of the standard spec but was considering:

Harman Kardan stereo upgrade (anyone got this and how does it compare to the standard stereo?)

19 inch wheels (not sure if i prefer the look of the 18 inch ones so a bit on the fence on that one)

Parking sensors (don't want to smash the car up!)

Stereo and wheels are the 2 main things really so any opinions would be greatly recieved!

Hey whats up dude, where do you live...other parts of the world has diff c63 models

in the US there are NO parking sensors, or keyless go...also there is NO 19inch rim option

here is what is available tho

P2 PREMIUM package:
* Power Rear-Window Sunshade
* Headlamp Washing System
* Bi-Xenon Headlamps
* Cornering Fog Lamps

AMG LEATHER PACKAGE: unless you want cloth seats, get this!

MULTIMEDIA PACKAGE:
* Voice Control
* COMAND w/Navigation
* Radio: 6 Disc In-Dash CD/DVD Changer
* Harman/Kardon Sound System

the Audio is probably WAAAAY better than stock, but get this just for the pop up NAVI.....i dunno how great it is...but i do know, with out it the interior looks GROSS!!!!

in the 2009 models there is also something called;

PERFORMANCE PACKAGE: which is basically lighter better performance brake...better suspension...limited slip defferential....and a upgraded alcantara steering wheel

thats basically all the options dude....atleast in the US...i know keyless and parktronic is available outside of america

oh, theres also an ipod integration kit, and teleaid...pretty sure thats it

Thanks for the info

I'm in the UK by the way. Shame you guys can't get some of the upgrades but bear in mind the list price for the car over here is just under $100k!!

I prefer the look of the 18 inch wheels also. Shame they don't do the exact same wheel in 19 inch.

Does the non Prefomance Package C63's not have a Limited Slip Differential?
