It would be better to ask all your Edition 1 questions in the same thread, answer is no it did not.

Here is what it came with http://www.benzblogger.com/2011/08/2...announced.html

LSD

why would you want the factory clutch plate LSD that wears out, when you could get a quafe for the same price,

A few reasons:
OEM LSD is made by Drexler, one of the very best LSD manufacturers, and already performs well with factory lockup of ~40%.
This lockup performance from factory is greater than that offered by the Quaife and Wavetrac units (i believe).
This % of lockup can be further enhanced by changing ramp angles.
In addition, can customize further to have lockup not just on accel (stock), but also on coast/de-accel.
Clutch plates can be added, and can be upgraded any which way you want, with heavier duty alloys/friction coatings, etc .

Can modify the Quaife and Wavetrac units, but don't believe they will be able to match above.

I may be wrong, but I have never seen an OEM one get worn out, it has clutches so I am sure it will eventually, maybe if it is tracked a lot, it works great on the street having had 2 cars with the factory LSD.
