Picked the car up from the service center today...
It looks like the coolant leak was a false alarm: When the tech started taking stuff off the engine he noticed dried coolant on the seam of the radiator. He was able to determine that was the cause of the leak. They replaced the radiator and re-tested pressure and everything was to spec.
Whew. While I was sorta excited to get some engine **** I was not, at all, excited about having the engine that "Torsten Oelschläger" built torn apart by someone else...someone likely less skilled. I'm also relieved to know that Torsten can keep his job. :-)

It's been fun, but all things must come to an end.
She's gone.
Traded her today for a 2008 BMW 135i convertible for my wife.
The dealer (Barrier) made it right (in the end) by giving me a solid price for the C63 and I got the 135i for a steal. No, don't ask me to say what they bought it for.
My secret plan (don't tell my wife) is to wait until 2013/2014 when they stop making the W204 with the M156 and try to buy one of the very last C63s they make.
Best daily driver I've owned. I will miss her deeply...
