I see what you're doing with all your open tabs in the background!
The first build has all the items that are part of multimedia just not the actual words: multimedia. If you can check the window sticker that's a more customer end info you might see mm package.
We think mm is the prerequisite for features that improve navi like speed limit, engine performance page on comand, and some brace stuff. How is it on your GTs's?
Also remember skinny tires on this car and if you want fatter ones you may opt to upgrade to aftermarket rims anyway.

To be honest I really haven't used the MM on the GTS- I just drive the dam.n thing and enjoy that engine and sound. I don't think Ive even activated the free MBrace LOL.
A lot of people mistaken the Air Balance Package as just an air freshener. I have it in my S550 and its pretty great - it ionizes the air, so you don't smell any of the crap that comes in from the outside or have to leap to the circulation tab just to stop things from smelling. Happens a lot in LA.
Vic, congrats on the new car choice. I'm excited for you - just got my C63 AMG S on order today.

@cyberorth I hear you on the skinnies- why why why do they do this when pop the nice meats on the GTS. I actually don't mind the wheels in black but 265 is rather thin.

Personally, unless you reeaaally want something more familiar than new, I would feel I would be getting less value from buying a W205 C63s if I was in your position.
Most professional reviews I've seen state the AMG GTS really is superior driving wise to the C63s in every way, despite sharing the same soul. To be fair, the AMG GTS is probably superior to the M3 in every way as well but at least you're getting a very different experience driving an M3, so it will have more novelty factor.
That's just my 2 cents.

I drove the new CTS-v last week.
Inside it feels like you're in a Malibu. The interior is a complete let down.
The transmission is sluggish too.
If you're leasing, the Cadillac residuals are horrible
Just sayin

It definitely has a strong price point (if that matters) but I have to touch one in person still.

I had a chance to drive the V and I was impressed by the performance, but the rest of the car is a let down. It looks cheap, and the interior is poorly made - especially in a car of this $$ level. It definitely is a specs car, but that's not what driving is all about. I didn't feel any soul in the car, and it become un-entertaining to drive after a while.

Ok here's the plan
Pick up m3 tomorrow
Buy a V on fathers day.
Sell m3 on Labor Day.
Buy the C on Halloween.
Toss V in a ditch after washing thanksgiving dishes.
This way you have more time to think about the mm package in the C
Isn't there a GS-f also you can throw in the mix?
