C63-507: limited slip differential?
Not sure whether to invest in this option or not?
Can someone ELI5 under what scenarios I will make use of the LSD?
FYI: I plan on tracking the car (~1/month).

It's standard equipment on 507's which are supplied to Australia
IMO if it's an option there for you then definitely get it, the obvious advantage is more traction and for any powerful RWD or even FWD only vehicles the more available traction you have the better for it and it'll definitely also benefit you for track use.
Just keep in mind that when LSD equipped RWD vehicles do break traction depending on the individual vehicle type they will be more difficult to control as the tendency to 'fish tail' or go sideways is much more pronounced with LSD compared to without LSD.

Can it be installed at the dealership if it doesn't come with one?
My folks seen a black one in the show room at their dealership but from the sounds of things, it is just a C63 and not the S version. They like the more aggressive look of the C63 vs their 13' S550. If they do trade in for it, I will sure spend time behind the wheel too.
We might go for a test drive but not anytime soon as we are expecting a foot of snow in the next 24hrs.

Yes standard equipment on 507's destined for the Australian market, I've got no idea what the case is for other Countries.
Hopefully the OP took note of that in my previous post, or maybe he is located in Australia
