C63 AMG clicks when putting the gear selector in P. I this normal?

Hi everyone!. I bought my w204 C63 AMG 2013 Coupe a month ago and I noticed that sometimes the transmission makes this click noise immediately after putting the gear selector in P, is this normal?. I also have to mention that the car was parked in a street with some slope. Here is a video so you can hear this.

Besides your *** squeaking in the seat, sounds normal. Since you were on a slope, it just sounds like the brake is engaging.

Which brake are you referring to?, when you put the car in P does a brake engage?. Is this clicking sound when putting the gear selector in P normal?

I just meant when you put it in park (brake, stop of motion, not moving). The C63 makes tons of little noises, you'll get used to them. You only need to worry if the car starts/continues to move after putting it in park.

Thanks for your reply!, does your C63 also makes this weird clicking noise like mine when putting the car in Park on an inclined street?. Which other weird noises does your C63 make?

My car came with a lot of quirky noises too. When I open the window I usually hear things like, "Do you know why I pulled you over?"

I live in Kansas, we don't really have inclines to be honest lol, so I can't really help you there. You could always apply the parking brake if you're worried about it.

As for weird noises, it's just a general rule with any sort of sports/performance car that there will be some noises. Cracking/squeaking of plastic parts, engine fans turning on/off, brake squeak, exhaust pops/bangs/gurgles, air conditioner, 1000 different engine parts moving/settling, etc. It's only when the noises start to affect the daily driving of the car that you should really be worried about it.

Thanks for your answer!!, I noticed that sometimes the car also makes that click noise after putting it in park in streets with no inclines. Have you noticed this click noises in the transmission of your car?

The clicking noise sounds like the shift interlock engaging. If you don't have your foot on the brake, it will prevent you from shifting.

Every time I hear an unusual noise my wallet shudders. Just the reality of owning an out of warranty german performance car.
