I think 2009 models have a different grill with two silver stripes, instead of all silver.

To answer your question the 2006 55 and the 2007, 2008 63 have no differences other then badging. Of course if you have the 030 package the wheels are different. Interior does have differences, gauge color, and paddle shifters, & different door lock pins.

Actually I think the tail lights are different on the 63 as compared to the 55, although you can't probably tell with the naked eye

Exterior wise the location and the look of the antenna is different. On the 55 if you have the optional Sirius radio you get an ugly thing on your trunk. The 63 is a combo antenna.
