performance exhaust (or other mandatory features?)

Working on getting a c63s and had a couple questions. Are there any features you feel mandatory to have?

One of the c63s I am looking at does not have the PE and was curious if thats a big loss or it would be better going aftermarket?

I found a car that had everything I essentially needed. Wanted the PE but it didn't have it. No biggy since I ordered a AWE switchpath exhaust to replace it.

Well not sure how the car sounds like in S+/R without the PE but I do know with it it sounds awesome. I hear the dynamic led lights are great to have.

Performance exhaust to me is a must, even if you do end up going aftermarket. The ability to change sound levels with a button is invaluable.


Dynamic LED's are also a must. I ordered the P4 package just for the lights, even when I didn't really want all the Distronic safety nanny stuff.

You can configure the Distronic nanny stuff off by default. It's invaluable when you're stuck in long, slow crappy traffic. Turn it all on, set a max MPH, and relax. It's not quite Tesla autopilot, but close enough when you want don't want to deal with the traffic.

I heard the non-PE exhaust was basically the PE exhaust constantly in Sport+ mode? At least, according to the AWE site the db levels seem to corroborate this?

But for me: LED lights, PE, Sport seats, HUD.. they're all desirable.

If price isn't an issue, just order everything. Whatever you want. Build the perfect car.

When I first approached my dealer and asked to order a C63, he asked why I didn't want the one in the showroom, I said it doesn't have enough options, and he's like "what options do you want" and I'm like "EVERYTHING!" and then he just started laughing.

honestly the only thing I didn't add is the rear side airbag, i mean ain't nobody's gonna sit in the back of a coupe!!!
