From what i can tell, seems the package includes 20' wheels, black lacquer wood, and the speed delimiting

For those of us who don't value being able to drive above 150mph, is there any other performance enhancement from speed delimiting??

If not, seems to me i can order the 20" wheels directly from the accesories catalog, and then its just a choice of whether you want black wood (which i don't)

I thought the 030 package also includes composite brakes, a limited slip differential.

Each valued I'd say easily at 2k$/each not to mention that you get warranty on those parts.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

No LSD has been confirmed yet on the 030 PKG.
Currently, these are the only components in the package:

Designo Black lacquer trim

Speed limiter moved up to 186MPH

20" AMG wheels

030 Performance package (which I believe is the suspension/brake upgrade)

No LSD but the brakes do exist.
Does it still cost a good 10k$?

Pricing on the 08 S63 is not available yet but I would agree that the 030 pkg will run in the vicinity of $10k.

Hi

In truth - if you put a value on it - it is acceptable.

AT LEAST $3500 for the wheels
AT LEAST $1500 for the tires
AT LEAST $4000 for brakes and pads

Thats $9000 right there......... not including the suspension upgrade... so its not a rip off or anything - just a package deal that you get all in one.

It's a shame they took away the LSD and added black lacquer trim
