2012 c63 modding without PP

I am looking into a 2012 C63. Just curious before i make my final decision. if i am modding i dont see any reason for getting the Performance Package since we already know what these engine can do with FBO and a tune.


Thoughts?

coming from someone that had a non pp with exhaust and tune, and now has a pp 2012.....

every time something went wrong with my previous car, the dealership blamed the tune or the exhaust. it turned into a nightmare for me. i dont race and the performance upgraded i put on there were meant only for a fun hobby. that fun hobby turned into a major hassle every time i went to the dealership for service. now if you do want to race then by all means, modify the hell out of it. or if you just dont care about the dealership giving you a big f you every time you bring it in.

now, for me personally, i think that the pp (p31) package is worth every penny to someone like me (peace of mind). i use my car as a daily driver and now when something goes wrong (which has happened twice now) the dealership fixes it with no questions asked.

just something to think about.

good luck

Not sure why you would get the P31 if you weren't going to track the car...

That said, if I were getting another one I would get the P31, just to have the upgraded internals..

You answered your own question, plus the added power doesn't hurt.
