Rsquad, great looking car and congrats!
Stupid question regarding lighting: did they add more ambient lighting for the canadian spec cars, meaning lights in the door handle armrests?. Did they add LED lighting above the rear license plate too?
How do you find the MCT transmission?
cheers

But right now I'm really loving the black wood trim!
Why not ask the dealer to give you the carbon fiber trim for free? Since you didn't get any money off the APX and it's a part of APX.

Yes, I think you get 2 piece rotors and ceramic pads with the red calipers.

Are ceramic pads new for the MY 2012? Or do they also come in 2011 and 2010 P31's?

I have a 2012 sedan Canadian spec. No lighting in the door handles, however Im pretty sure every button inside is lit. There is LED lighting above the license plate.

MCT trans is wonderful! but I havent had much experience with the previous transmission to judge... only a 30 min test drive.

I did this after I saw the changes on the website lol... they didnt want to install it so they gave me an adjusted APX package price. The dark ash wood trim is really nice though! makes you feel that little bit more like its still a benz

Looks like they only updated the seats in the C63 coupe.
The sedans still have the 08-11 seats.
