E90 M3 to C63 wagon

Hi guys, i am new here.....

Been driving a 2011 m3 sedan for past year..... I am contemplating changing to a 2012 c63 wagon with performance pack....

Some questions i have are as follows.........

I believe the wagon cannot be ordered with factory rear diff vs sedan or coupe... Or am i wrong?

Assuming i pick up the wagon, can i install the rear diff as add on?

Another question is....

Performance pack adds 30bhp more..... Is it possible to do an additional tune over and on top of this?

Many thanks.

You can order it with LSD.
The diffuser has a different shape than in the sedan.
A tune will give you >500bhp.

Welcome and enjoy the car
Where are you from?

You can order it with the rear diff (i did and i have a 2012 wagon). If i've understood correctly the 481 bhp is incorrect. Several members (if i recall correctly) have dynoed results around 500.

The performance pack is advertised as 30 hp more, but in reality it is probably 50-60 hp more. It is on par with the black series engine. MB understates the hp to keep a perceived distinction in power from their higher end cars. Not much, if any, benefit from tuning a P31 car unless LTH installed.

thanks guys for answering my question

I am from Singapore....

btw, all 2012 AMG cars sold in Singapore will come as standard with performance pack.

However.... I think NO LSD (rear differential).... can I get the dealer to order the LSD from factory and install it locally??

yet to see the car.... sales manager wasn't on duty today... but can't wait.
