Does this car have the PP?

Hey guys looking to sell my b8 s4 and get into a c63 I spotted this c63 and was curious if it has the PP package

It doesn't have a alcantara/leather and no painted calipers

from the description, it does, but not from the pics ... maybe these are not the correct pictures. 2009 PP had the alc steering wheel, and also silver calipers. the red calipers were for P31, which i believe was offered from 2010. also, iirc, the silver interior trims get replaced by the black wood ones with the premium package (i could be wrong).

ways to tell:

alcantara steering wheel (unless the previous owner changed it out)
floating rotors (unless the previous owner decided to replace with cheaper one piece)
MB LSD
stiff as hell suspension (again, unless changed out by previous owner)

best bet is to pull the VIN.

Check vin to be sure. Next best thing is floating front rotors as mentioned. unless raced, should have the originals based on mileage. I can't trust the info because it lies about the alcantara steering wheel. I don't get why the prices of the options are noted!

It says 13k+ miles. Odd why it has such low miles. Meaning it should have the 2 piece rotors up front,alcan steering wheel,super stiff suspension. All part of the P30 package

Very early during 2009 production run, due to a mistake apparently, some of the items exclusive to pp became available alacarte. I had a car that had the speed delimiter and LSD, but not the suspension brakes or the alcantara. Later on, these were only available through pp until p31 replaced it. This could be the case with this car.

great point, cyberorth. the only prob is the seller is listing the pp as a $4000 option that this car has, so I think he is claiming the whole p30. I'm too lazy to look at the CL post again, but this is what I recall.

The CL listing doesn't show the VIN. If you can get it and post, I can tell you definitively what was in the car at delivery.

It bothers me that the wheel doesn't have alcantara! Call me silly!
