CLS 63 AMG Questions

I am currently in the market for a Prefacelift W218 CLS 63 AMG and I still have a few questions. Any information helps. Thanks everyone!
Mercedes says the LSD was a standalone option for the car in 2012, but I have heard people say it comes with all cars with the Performance Package. Which is it?
Are there any changes from the 2012 to 2013 model year?
Are there any options/packages that can make or break the car?
Anything to look out for when checking out a car?
Best/safest wheel specs? I have seen 20x9 front and 20x10/10.5 rear being the most common. Are there any problems switching over to 20"s from the original 19"s?
What are the pros and cons of lowering modules and lowering links.
Where to buy clear sidemarkers. I have seen multiple different styles online and don't know which would look/work best.
Does anyone know if there are any clear taillights options/ custom clear taillights out there?
