Edited Post because it DOES NOT come with the 030 Package!

Finally, after about 3 months of looking and learning from everyone on the board, i found the perfect car (at least for me). 2006 CLS55 AMG IWC. It has 42k miles and is currently at the Mercedes Dealership right now getting a full PPI done before I complete the purchase.

Does anyone know what I should specifically look for or ask the Dealership? I know the obvious but anything specific?

I will post up pics once I get it delivered to me, probably about 8 days.

Thanks again for everyone's help and advice with the car, you guys were a great help.

Sweet, wha'd you end up paying?

MAN1

Didnt know the IWC could be ordered with 030.

miamibest

I got it for $43 + $2.6k (taxes) + $1k (enclosed shipping) + $3k (extended Chrysler Warranty) so I look at it as I paid $50k roughly but I have a 5 year/70k mile warranty with it... BUT i paid $43k for the car. A lot of people always forget about all the other costs and $50k was my max so i'm really happy.

I didn't know it could be ordered with the 030 package either but when I saw it with that option i took it right away.

Im new to this, whats this 030 package?

Congrats... You'll love the 030 package.

IngenereAMG

The 030 package is the 'performance package'.

raised speed limiter
compound brakes
some models get a different front facia, LSD, different AMG wheels

Oxygen

Love the IWC CLS55... very rare car too! Only 55 units produced!

The color is beautiful also..

E55AMGFan

That color is amazing, wow, congrats to the OP!

Igor180

By the way guys, how do you distinguish a CLS55 if it has a P030 package or not.

JAY55

Gone, with a few sleepless nights eh?

griza

Exterior color is outstanding...interior not so much.....Congrats on the purchase, take some delivery pics when it comes.

Wheels, and the front disks are huge.

Igor180

What do the wheels look like? The 5 double spokes?

Oxygen

Take a look at the front rotors...

This is the P030 package with composite rotors that are larger:

Depends on the year.

Also the Alcantara steering wheel too.

Congrats! Post pics!

The wheels are different as well......really cool on 030.

CLS AMG IWC

As far as I know IWC edition was made with fixed set of options and there was no P030 package in it.

miamibest

I'd have to disagree with this (not trying to argue with you) but it was verified yesterday from the mercedes dealership that it has the P030, AMG Performance Package. They actually told me that a bunch of them came with it.

CLS AMG IWC

ОК, can you tell me then what exactly P030 package includes?

miamibest

Quick way of knowing is look at your steering wheel and see if it is the Alcantara AMG sport steering wheel. To be honest, I probably wouldn't order it if i was buying the car new because it isn't anything i really needed but since it was already on the car, can't complain

Here is what a grabbed below from someone else:
