There is no way to order a P31 in Canada.
When you order the APX package you get the extra HP, LSD, bakes, etc, but it still states P30.

Take a look at my order recently placed

Look at the details, it mentions P30, unless the P30 is included as part of P31.

2012 C63 coupe
In Canada, the code for the equivalent to the P31 Performance Package is APX as noted above. I have my order sheet in front of me for my 2012 coupe. The description is AMG Performance Package. The P30 is a component of the Performance Package per the dealer. The issue is that in the US, the options are grouped differently (i.e. the US cars have more choice over individual components).

Your order sheet is identical to mine other than mine is Obsidian Black.

I saw a C63 coupe today with the two tone black/red and it was AMAZING!!!

P30 is the stiffer suspension. 923 is the SLS internals and more hp. 251 is the delimiter. 471 Limited slip. 475 TPMS. U70 Red Calipers. Those are the items you get with the APX package. These are all listed on your build sheet, so you have it for sure.

P31 is what this package was called prior to the facelift.

Nice seeing you in the dealer parking lot last Saturday. I think you are getting yours ahead of mine (mine is a sedan, build date Jan 18).

Good luck with the M3 sale.

Hey!! Small world!!

Mine is now scheduled to arrive December 23rd (earlier than Gordon thought). I was back today to look at the coupe we saw on the weekend and it is cleaned up and gorgeous. I'm excited. I'm sure we will see each other around.

So now you will need winters as soon as your car arrives (referring to your other thread).

I think installing new winters on the stock rims is the best way for now, till you choose your second set of wheels. Ask the dealer to deliver the car with the winters installed on the OEMs and store the summer tires for now.

Personally I will look for another set of 18" OEMs as my second set for track/winter tires.

I actually ordered winter tires today (Bridgestone LM-60) from TireRack with cheapo winter wheels that fit the C63 coupe (per TireRack). Picture of the wheel is attached... they should get me through the winter

After thinking on it, I may stay with the OEM 18's for summer... they look very nice and suit the car well. I was unsure until I saw them again today and they are a great wheel. I have flip flopped about 10 times on wheels

I'll end up putting some Yokohama AD-08 or RE-11s on the stock 18s for dual track/street duty. On the M3, I have RE-11s for dual use and really like them.

As mine arrives in February, I'll skip winters for this year and may go with your idea for RE-11 dual purpose once my stock rubber wears out.

I'll look for a used set of 18" OEMs on the forum for the following winter.

Drop by Matin's some Saturday late morning and see you at AMP of course.

PS: Call Garner for your M3, he may know someone in town interested.
PSS: Know of a Corvette buyer :-)
