When did the AMG PP gain the extra 30HP?

I'm looking at a 2009 C63, the dealer says it has LSD and speed delimit, but not the power up. Was this something that occurred with the 2010MY P30 package? Is there a VIN or body/build code that designates the P30 package that I can check? This car does not seem to have the Alcantara steering wheel, which is not really a negative for me but it would be nice to be able to verify what is really fitted. Without testing out the speed delimit directly, that is.

What about the rear view camera? Was this available in 2009?

Thanks!

C63
The P31 package has the additional 30hp power upgrade, not the P30.
P31 equipped C63's came out in 2010.

No Alcantara sterring wheel = No P30 package.
Just be careful what the sales guy tells you

Steel Grey Metallic C63!!
In early 2009, you could order lsd and delimited speedo ala carte. The car you're looking at doesn't have P30. Just your local MB dealership pull the vin of the car to show you what options it came with.

Early P30 cars were shipped with partial packages usually 2 piece front rotors, LSD, stiffer springs maybe the delimit? and missing the alcantra steering wheel. Run the vin and do a visual check on the brakes. I seem to remember owners getting credits for items that were shown on the sticker but not included.
