Changes over the yearly models

Hi guys,

I am wanting to buy a used CLS63 AMG in the month of january.

I am debating between a 2012, 2013, or 2014. Is there anywhere that I can view a comparison/table between each of the models, and what has changed each year? I searched extensively and haven't found anything.

2012 was the initial model with the M157 engine.
2013 was pretty much the same as the 2012, except they changed the intercooling system to split it from the engine cooling system.
2014 added the AWD system, otherwise the same.

I am potentially selling my 13 CLS if I find the right deal on the next toy.
PM if you are interested in my car. Pics should be on the forum attached to my screen name.

The 2012-2013 models are the last of the RWD models. To me this was why I went with a 2013 over the newer ones.. I wanted the sportier driving dynamic, lighter car, and the RWD transmission doesnt take away hp from the engine that an AWD does... Just like a BMW M5 I feel RWD is the true way this car was meant to be.. but if you live in a place with bad weather, snow etc...the safety of AWD may be worth it..

I also found my 2013 Transmission with the current software update was pretty damn quick and good enuff for me.. Sure its not an RS7 or M5 speed wise, but its quick enuff and gives me just enough timing and control to make me content.. Sure Id love it to be faster like the 2015 models, but its really not a dealbreaker to me as the 2013 MCT is quite satisfactory
