Configuring the C63

Hey guys. I am in the process of configuring my C63 and needed some help from the experts here.I was considering the M3 some time ago but dropped the idea due to its lack of torque and also had a bunch of high performance cars in mind (RS4,RS5,S5 ) but due to lack of availability and in some cases , lack of service back up (India, you see) I finally settled my sights on the C63.

I actually felt ridiculous initially for not thinking about this AMG at the beginning but hey, better late than never.

Following are the options that I feel should be on the car :

AMG Perf package (P30)
AMG carbon fibre trim (H73)
Designo roof liner in black (Y90)
Belt buckle with switch (U01) ---------------- What is this about?
AMG floor mats
Parktronic
Electric front seats
Auto dim interior mirroe
AMG Drivers package --------------------------- What is this about?
Memory package
Twin cup holders
Windscreen wiper w/rain sensor
AMG Diff lock -----------------------------Do I need this now that I have P30?
Folding ext mirrors

Whats the difference between COMAND APS and Audio 50 APS?

Thermotronic
Dynamic range bi xenons
Intelligent lighting system ------------------- What is this?
Model year info on model plate ------------- What is this?
H/K LOGIC7
Heated front seats
KEYLESS GO (YAY!)
Tailgate auto open and close


Please help me with the config and let me know the answers to all "what is this" options and also if I should add anything else.
Exterior color is Calcite white with Cogniac brown interiors!

Also, please see attached pictures and tell me the code or name of these rims.

Just found it that the Driver's Package lifts the speed limiter from 155 mph to 174 mph.

OP? What does that mean? And yeah , you are right . We actually don't have packages here , rather a 10 page option list and we can choose every single detail.

Comand APS is a monitor versus Audio 50 which is not. I recommend that you get the Comand APS and then also the Media Interface (option 518) so that you can connect iPod and other USB devices and control them on the monitor. Enjoy!

I actually felt ridiculous initially for not thinking about this AMG at the beginning but hey, better late than never.

Following are the options that I feel should be on the car :

AMG Perf package (P30) - This includes: AMG high-performance composite front brake system, AMG performance
suspension, AMG limited-slip differential, AMG performance steering wheel (nappa/Alcantara)

AMG carbon fibre trim (H73)
Designo roof liner in black (Y90)
Belt buckle with switch (U01) ---------------- What is this about? - Not sure.

AMG floor mats
Parktronic
Electric front seats
Auto dim interior mirroe
AMG Drivers package --------------------------- What is this about? - From what I know, depending on your country, you get to attend some sort of AMG driver training program and get the speed limiter increased to 280km/h. In other countries you only get the speed limiter increased to 280km/h but no driver training, for a slightly reduced fee.

Memory package
Twin cup holders
Windscreen wiper w/rain sensor
AMG Diff lock -----------------------------Do I need this now that I have P30? - You already have it included if you select code P30.

Folding ext mirrors

Whats the difference between COMAND APS and Audio 50 APS?

Thermotronic
Dynamic range bi xenons
Intelligent lighting system ------------------- What is this? - This basically is the latest Bi-xenon lighting system from Mercedes. Aside from the up/down balancing motion and cornering function where the main beam turns into corners up to a certian degree, separate from the cornering fog light at low speeds, the unit has some new functions: The beam is wider when driving slowly so you can see the pedestrians at the side of the road. When you drive faster, on highways etc., the intensity/brightness increases and the beam is focused further forward (narrow rather than wide beam pattern) so you can see further down the highway.

Model year info on model plate ------------- What is this? - This tells you whether you got the a 2010 model year car even though it is manufactured in 2008. Mercedes usually updates/upgrades their models around mid year. At the German factories it's usually around July/August. Changes could be as small as a new light switch or electronic upgrades that even the dealer might not know. However for any noticeable change a well informed dealer can let you know what to expect.
H/K LOGIC7
Heated front seats
KEYLESS GO (YAY!)
Tailgate auto open and close - This is only possible on the Estate version.


Please help me with the config and let me know the answers to all "what is this" options and also if I should add anything else.
Exterior color is Calcite white with Cogniac brown interiors! - Unfortunately, you only have a choice of Black, Sahara Beige, or Grey Nappa Leather interiors, unless you get a custom interior done by AMG themselves. Otherwise, Cognac is only on the non C63 Avantgarde models. Though, it would have been a nice option for them to have on the C63 as well.

Also, please see attached pictures and tell me the code or name of these rims.
Please see my response to almost all your questions in your message above. As for your last question: 19 inch Multispoke rims are code 788.

Have fun!!

Turns out , the cognac brown is available for the C63 AMG . Might be a restriction in a few countries but I just confirmed from my dealer , who has confirmation from Germany for the same.

That's interesting. What's the MB option code number for the Cognac C63 interior?

Just checked with the dealer. In India , at least , it is being offered as an option under the Avantgarde package.

I might be proved wrong but I still believe it isn't available for the C63. Ask your dealer for the color code because the AMG Nappa leather seats have different color code than the standard Avantgarde Leather (Non-Nappa Leather) seats.
