Wondering about LSD
I've got a 2014 C63 507 Edition Coupe and I'm not sure whether or not it was spec'ed to have an LSD, is there anywhere online that I can go to find out through the VIN or something else?

As said above, enter the VIN in one of the many VIN decoders. The good ones show the complete list of options the car has, then look for option code 471. If it's on there, then you have the factory LSD. If you bought the car used and it doesn't have the factory LSD, then it could still have an aftermarket LSD that a previous owner installed such as a Wavetrac.

Pretty simple way to tell is to raise the car on a hoist with the transmission in neutral and then rotate one of the wheels by hand. If the other wheel rotates in the same direction you have an LSD. If it spins in the opposite direction you have an open diff (non LSD).
