Yes there is. When I get home I will try to get a pic for you.

The 2008's also have memory seats for driver and passenger. The forums seemed to indicate they didn't....

Well....no

...spotted this over at the clk BS forums, and I can assure you I don't have a dead pedal that looks ANYTHING like this. I wouldn't mind having this set-up though.



Hans...I'd be interested to see what you have, cause mine didnt come with one.

Sorry Nick. No stock, OEM DP in the C63. The profile is a perfect rectangle (same as E63 which is glued onto the foot well trim and comes as one piece with the trim).

Hans, I would be interested to see what you have . I am in the hunt as well. Will keep you posted

Well... hmm. All I know is that when I first drove the car, and my left foot went to rest... it found what I would call a dead pedal. Yes, it's only carpet. But my left foot says it's OK!







Here is a pic of the memory seat switches...



Impressive AMG floormats (pics dont do it justice)



And yes -- it has a dipstick!!


So I guess you could call it a "driver footrest", if not a dead pedal.

thanks hans

that is the same as i have. i find it to be enough, but if you are looking for a "true" dead pedal, it is lacking a bit.

Hans and etowns! thanks guys, that is exactly what i needed to know, as long that there is a little rest to lean on when cornereing, as asthetics go, its invisible, could probably live with that...Thanks Hans for taking time to take the pics to inform the rest of us, Nick.

It's definitely oil level. Pulled it out and tasted it! j/k. Very long dipstick. There is a pic and description in the owner's manual. Also, there is no digital gauge to check it. For grins, I checked the manual to see where to check the tranny fluid. It only says "The transmission fluid does not need to be checked.... see your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center" with no pics.

I was very happy to see an actual dipstick on the car! Big plus to me with the long oil change intervals.

Barry,

Did you ever get a price on the dead pedal from Carlsson for the C63?
