Ok, So I ordered my 09 C63 in May and it finally came in Yesterday.

I ordered it with everything, MINUS Carbon Fiber.

Artic White with Black Leather -

I love the feel of the upgraded AMG seats. I'm 5'10, 200lbs. They fit great. Really comfortable. The multi-media package really is awesome. I like the I-Drive style knob. I have left it in Sport Mode most of last night. The torque, the sound...amazing. Very easy to drive the car. I do feel how heavy the front of the car is, when driving and hit a bump...I can feel it in the steering wheel/front wheels.

The performance package has the following for the 09's - ONLY came with the LSD upgrade and the Speed Limiter upgrade. NO BRAKES, NO SUSPENSION, NO STEERING WHEEL.

So what they did...clever Benz folks - is charge $1200 per upgrade...1200 for the LSD, 1200 for the speed limiter....Honestly I wish I had the option to not get the speed limiter...cuz am I really going 170+mph in NY? The dealer also gave me a $500 discount. The total MSRP was around 67-68k.

With taxes, fees and first month up front - I came out of pocket $5600. My monthly payments on a 12k Mile YR - 36month lease is $1235.

Just some food for thought. I will post pics later.

Did you order the car or was this a car they found for you? I'm ordering mine and I want it to have the suede steering wheel, AMG Brakes and upgraded suspension.
