Track Pkg adds Dunlop SportMaxx tires and a rear diff oil cooler.

Aero Pkg adds the Wing and the Dive Planes + Cannards.

The BS has an ILS system, a retrofit is NOT going to be easy or inexpensive. Previousy it was easier like on my car, but these days lightning is waaaay more advanced. ILS works with numerous sensors and even a camera behind the windscreen. your beam wil never be focused without these sensors and camera so do your homework before you start this!

Oka done! I will try retrofit the xenons! Is that even possible tho? Doesn't it have to be built into the cars system, also the light sensors on the windscreen will have to be fitted and the wiring lumes😱

I hope this helps your decision.

Retrofitting OEM xenons for 2012+ is going to be extremely difficult and expensive. You're going to need the headlights, harness, and a software upgrade to make it all work. I've asked www.mbznl.nl, OEM mb parts retro fitters. My dealer won't even attempt it.

I decided to go through a headlight retrofitting company to fit bixenons. It's not quite OEM, but much improved from the halogens. Check out my review thread. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-retrofit.html

IMHO, for the BS, I would take the aero pack.

Get the headlights and just retrofit?

If it doesn't work then AT LEAST go with a pair of new ballast and HID's

will go a long way.

Just ask MBenzNL how involved the headlights would be to retrofit.

All I know is that for those carbon bits if you were to add it on will be around $10,000+ and also the hassle of trading cars as well.
