I have an 09 with the performance pack which is a little different in that it doesnt have the 30 extra hp (I have a tune anyways) but it does come with LSD and stiffer springs.

Thanks for the info. Learned my thing for the day...now I can watch action movies for the rest of the day

Ah - so you have the P30. FWIW, on a 450+ HP car, an LSD and stiffer suspension would *always* be my pick over more HP but without a way to put it down. Enjoy the movies!

Mine is a FEB/2010 Built, and reverts back to Odometer.
Also starts in C every time.
Have folding mirrors that fold in with button on the window switches, and also when locking the car (can be changed in the cluster)
Have Tyre Monitor, but only says when tyre pressure is low, and not which specific tyre. (No TMPS in each wheel)

My display always reverts back, but my tranny always stay in Sport.
I just bought a '14 C63 here in the US and according to the manual folding mirrors aren't available here (but it does mention they are in Canada). Not sure why as I never liked having my mirrors ripped off...

Thats part of what we get for paying higher sales tax, income tax, and property tax. They give us folding mirrors, 94 octane, socialized medicine, and cheaper universities. Then they take away mass shootings, the chance to ever win a championship in any league that matters, and the ability to write off interest on our mortgage.

Damn, sounds (mostly) good. Are you guys accepting applications? How's the weather up there? I really miss my folding mirrors...

This year the weather sucks - and just as bad, so do the roads. The potholes in TO this spring are atrocious. Never seen anything like it. Decided to put my 18s back on the car for another month because it was only a question of whether I'd bend one or both front rims in the first hour of driving.

This and that.
My 2011 has folding mirrors (again can be set in the cluster), starts up in whatever menu screen I leave it on. I used to always use the regular odometer but now I like having the AMG screen on, so I noticed that it starts up on that. It also always starts up in C mode no matter which mode I turn it off on. Also, if I have the Sport mode on (pressing and holding the traction control button for a couple of seconds), that is disappeared after I turn off the car and have to put it back in S mode for lesser traction as well.

I have a 2011. If I switch it off with the AMG screen, get out the car, come back and start the car, it reverts back to the odometer screen.
Also goes back to C mode when starting the car again.

Another question guys, I'm able to reset my tyre pressure sensors, but I cannot see the individual pressures.
How exactly do I do this?

Yup..09s got screwed for several reasons...lack of power mirrors and parktronic on a 60K+ car, no AMG screen default, etc...stupid MBUSA...I wonder if tuners can fix that or not? I doubt it...

It could be a limitation of the software for the specific MY and/or options on the car. There is a Tire Pressure Monitor screen in one of the menus on mine (which is where I need to be to reset my sensors and/or normal pressures).
