You got to be the biggest idiot to ever write on MBworld to make such a strong statement. some people want to be the first person to touch their car, and dont want to buy a car that the previous owner beat the crap out of and than pass it on. or simply they are not a cheap *** like you! But none the less if you wanna waste peoples time and talk garbage start a new thread(you are not limited to threads btw) and stop raining on the OP's thread like you said it yourself!


Dont you guys love it when new members join and think they know it!:smas h:

So is there such an option as a partial performance package? I have an '09 with PP and it has different steering wheel and brakes. I thought it was a package in '09. You should check the original window sticker. If the dealer sold you this car and told you it had the PP and it doesn't then I think they owe you......

BINGO--good call Transferred , I couldn't remember this guy's old user name until you nailed it.

RetardedMonk w/all of his CL65s...anyone who's been here for a while remembers that thread.

I finally got back from LA (Disneyland) today and the first thing I wanted to do was open the garage to fire up the C63. I literally threw my bags into the house, grabbed a key to the car, and went for a drive. I love this car.

As for the troll in my thread, well I'm just going to ignore idiot. You have to wonder why people feel the need to come into a thread which is completely unrelated to their rants, and start chewing up forum space with a bunch of nonsense.

I do have one problem guys that I need help with. HELP ME!! I was looking at the rear bumper cover behind the wheels and there are black rubber remnants stuck to my paint. I can't figure out where this rubber is coming from. If anyone has any ideas, I could use some advice because it's clear I didn't buy the right car, and knowing that it's clear I'm a total moron right?

I am Jeff

I'm not sure if this is a rhetorical question. But since you asked it, I'll answer it. Get in your car, floor it, listen to the tires burn out, stop, get out and taa daa!! There's your magic black rubber on your bumper. lol

tasho3

You see, if you had bought a older car with a billion miles on it, like a smart person would do, all that rubber on your bumper would have been worn away

In regards to the 030 performance package - my car was built in 07/08 - an early MY 2009. From what I understand the performance package was limited at that time to the LSD and Speed Limiter. I have seen other cars optioned the same way from the July/August 2008 build timeframe. I can confirm my car does have an LSD. However the price of the 030 according to the breakout I received with the car was in the $2,000 range - not the $4,000 price point of the 030 package later in the year, which added the steering wheel, suspension, and brake upgrade.

My 09 also has the LSD and raised speed limiter, but not the upgraded steering wheel, suspension, and brake rotors.

Thanks for the info! I have not heard of that. So there are two different pp030 packages for the 2009.
Have fun with the car! I suggest getting a tune ASAP, it becomes a whole new car!!!

amg4rl

Interesting to hear of the different PP's. You love your car now, but a tune makes it a whole different animal. Drive it for awhile to get used to it and you'll really see a difference when its reflashed.

Wow nice looking car man! I really love Paladium silver and the way it reflects in the sun. Kind of looks dark silver depending on the angle!

unixadm

Thanks everyone. I'm going to tune the car in 6-18 months depending on my mood. Right now, the car is plenty fast for me. Since I get bored with cars quickly, the longer I defer doing the tune, the less chance I will be bored. However this car is in a different league, and being bored doesn't seem possible. I had the car in manual mode today in second gear with the ESP in Sport mode - threw the car into a slower corner and got a nice drift which was uneventful around the corner. I was doing U-Turns for no reason, other than to kick the *** end out. I still drive to drive in comfort most of the time to save the rear tires, however every time I get home and park the car in the garage, it smells like hot rubber. Oops.

I got onto Highway 99 today and had the sunroof open. I nailed it under the overpass and it was simply bad ***. I need to wash and detail the car this week, and buy a cover. Anyone have a recommendation on a good but reasonably priced car cover for the W204?

Give up trying to resist. Resistance is futile. It is a proven fact that it is impossible to NOT drive a C63 like a hooligan.

I hope I'm not going to start a forum-war here, but I really think car covers are a bad idea for anything but total garage queens, and even then they are iffy.

Any dirt on the car will get picked up by the car cover and over time will cause more damage than protection. In addition a car cover will hold in heat dissipating from our hot engines...not to mention the chance of burning the cover on the exhaust tips.

I actually have a car cover for my '88 911. I naively used it when I first bought the car in '97. I was careful to avoid putting it on the car when it was dirty, but I got nasty swirl marks anyway. Fortunately I figured this out early enough and stopped...enabling the paint to stay pristine even after all this time. Of course our Palladium C63s won't show swirl marks like darker colors (such as my Venetian Blue 911), but I still would never put a cover on my C63 unless it was freshly detailed (and even then I can't think of any reason I would).

Same thing goes for bras. Thank god those have gone out of style! The only thing you can put on a car that's worse for the finish than a fabric car bra is diamond plate. ("clear film bras" OTH are awesome IMO).

Showroom Motorsports

nice, congrats

unixadm

I agree. I'm not using a car cover everyday - basically this car will be my weekend warrior. So after I wash it and put it in the garage, I want to cover it to keep dust down until I use the car again.

I had a clear bra on my last new car and it was nice.

cek

Have you ever tried a California Duster? They are awesome for quickly getting very light dust off as you describe and YOU control how much force & whether debris is scratching your paint. Much less expensive than a cover and just as fast as carefully pulling a cover off.

These are great. Use it with a light touch...
