First impressions
So I have had the car for a full 24 hours now.
1. There seems to be a lot of brake dust... haha
2. Is there a speed sensitive volume setting for the radio? I can't seem to find it.
3. Sirius is really "tin" like. Sounds like a low bit rate mp3. Lots of compression going on.
4. Idle isn't as smooth as I would have imagined. There is a a vibration somewhere at idle. But maybe that is just cause it is new.
5. Manual mode won't shift up or down until the shift is complete. So, if I am in 3rd and I want 7th, I can tap 4 times to get there. I have to tap slowly and wait for each gear to engage before going to the next. The 335 transmission is better at this.
6. Reverse camera doesn't have superimposed lines like most reversed camera showing where you end up based on your steering angle.
7. iPhone compatibility issues... haha, but everyone knows these.
I love this car! haha I think I can over look at this stuff.

Congrats!
Do you have the premium package with the better stereo? I'm actually impressed by quality of the Sirius radio. Wondering if it has something to do with the sound system itself.

Congrats, benyl. Enjoy your '10 C63 AMG. btw -- if you add a decent powered subwoofer like the Infinity Basslink, you'll enjoy Sirius-XM Sat radio and your iPod A LOT more...it really makes up for what the MB Logic 7 audio system is lacking (and your sat radio will not sound tinny when you crank it up).
