Performance Package question.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy a C63 very soon.

The 2009 C63 I'm looking at has performance package. But it does not seem to have the red calipers as well as the carbon fibre spoiler? It only has the carbon fibre interior as well as the alkantara steering wheel.

I just don't quite understand why it's missing those parts? or there is different performance packages?

Thanks for the help!
-Anthony

2009's and early 2010 cars had the P30 package, which doesn't come with those, nor the higher HP or SLS internals.

That stuff cane in 2010. I have an '09 with PP, calipers are silver and spoiler is body-colored.

Yup. Nov or Dec was when they introduced the P31 package. Mine was a Sept build, P30 only. Running change for MY2010.

I remember looking at a 2010 C63 with a Dec 2009 build date that still had the P30 package. I think that's the threshold for the change to P31.

My data card shows the delivery date of my 2010 P31 as December 7th, 2009, no build date is listed.

this also means...the P30 does not have the 451HP-481HP upgrade?
