In addition to the above mentioned don't dyno's show the 2010s as being slightly more powerful? This isn't a fact but something that was discussed in other threads that apparently 2010s show better #s.
Additionally, in an audio related thread, I believe that people mentioned there was more bass in the 2010s. I beileve the sound quality from the iPod interface was superior to that of the Sat Radio whereas people with 2009 models complained the iPod interface audio didn't provide clear/loud audio signals whereas the Sat Radio was superior...

Yes the numbers are better. See my Dyno thread and Maranos.
Good point on the Ipod. The Ipod adapter now charges. Also the command is better and accepts contacts via bluetooth.

Very strange. The 09 Ipod adapter in the glove didnt charge the Iphone or Ipod. Also the Iphone doesnt support transfer of contacts via bluetooth in the 09.
Edit: Maybe it charges the Ipod but not the phone? My phone definitely didn't charge. The 2010 most definitely charges my Iphone in the glove and the 09 didn't.

Maybe it is because I am switching from a CLK55, which is pretty stiff itself, but I think P30 suspension is bearable.

That's weird...I know it had it in 2009 because I've set off my warning for low tire pressure last winter in my c350 and my friend had it in his 2009 C63. Same warning due to the low tire pressures from the cold winters.

I would always get the warning on the tire in question. I wouldnt get a digital readout of the current PSI.

2010: the screen on the dash stays on whatever was last selected. in the '09, on every start up, it would revert back to the mileage screen.
no matter what mode you're in, C, S, or M when you turn your car off. when you start it up again, it will revert back to C. '09 stayed in S if you turned it off in S... and when turned off in M, it will revert to S.
i don't know if these changes could be done with an update on the '09.
the ESP button has changed. it has a drawing of a little car swerving. and the esp light on the dash is also the same icon.
stock tires are different i believe
trunk closing issues were taken care of in the '09s with a bumper stop. but you would still need to shut it kind of hard. '10 requires a lot less strength to close.
'10 navi has live traffic when viewing the map. you'll see little yellow cars or red cars kind of like google map. the time is also shown on the map screen now.
'10 the case for the owner's manual is smaller
'10 key is different. there is a distinct outline for the buttons. panic button is a triangle.
can't think of any more
good luck with your purchase. Drive Hard! Be Safe!!

It's a shame too because even in my previous car (2010 Camaro, each individual tire's psi could be viewed).

I went from an 09 to a 10 and it seems to me that the exhaust is a little quieter on the 10. Still sounds great ... but definitely doesn't seems as loud at startup and under throttle.
Also, for what it's worth, the Contis seem to hold up quite a bit better than the Pirrellis did ... I have ~8k miles now and still have ~7/32 on the front and ~6/32 on the rear. Of course, the fact that it always starts up in 'C' mode might help ... always had it in 'S' on the 09.

'10 C63
in my '09... i would only get a warning telling me my pressure was off... it would give me a regular warning to check it... and then if it gets really bad, i get a red screen... but i never got psi numbers or which tire... i would have to check each tire to find the one that needed air...
in my '10, i have yet to encounter pressure problems so i haven't seen this warning...

I can vouch for that. Like I mentioned, my '09 was crazy loud on start, much more so than the '10. It seems like they refined the initial bark and idle. It is a noticeable difference. I wonder what they did to quiet it down.

Id like to agree with you guys but I cant. My 2010 on the 50 degree days cold starts like chevy with flowmasters. Very loud. I really dont notice a difference in volume.
BUT! The difference is at 500 miles I already had a tune and never tuned my 2009 so that could be it.

What else did the update change? Can you now see the TPMS readings for all 4 wheels? Does the tranny setting default to C now?
By the way, does such an update affect the ECU? If you have a tune, will it be overwritten?
I also wonder if you can update the navigation software to show live traffic?
