Brought home 09 C63

Just drove it home from Montreal and all I can say is this car is a total rock star! I am very impressed.

2009 C63 Palladium Silver, 25K kms on it and is mint. Dealer ended up putting on 4 brand new P Zeros (the orig tires were worn enough that it didn't pass the Ontario safety with them). I'm planning to put some LM-60s on and drive it in the nicer winter weather, keeping my 03 C320SC for the worst of the winter weather.

Couple of questions:
1) How do I tell what options / packages the car came with? From searching, I know: No red calipers, no Command, I think the heated seats are Std, I'm guessing it was basically a low/no option car?

2) Just looked at the door sill plate to check tire pressures - Fr 41/ Rr 45 - really?? Any one care to comment - seems fairly high, but what do I know

The best way to tell is to ask the dealer. The VIN number is keyed to the options on the car as well, I believe.

Sill plate says COLD tire pressures.

I'm really liking manual mode Do find 1 - 2 is a little slower than all the other shifts - that normal?

Yes, just go to any Benz dealership and give them your VIN and they can print all info on your car.
