Nice! Guess the hood domes stayed, even though less aggresive.

It appears the push button transmission mode selector has been replaced with a dial.

Great job on the facelift - although Im often confused as to why they update models in between. I understand freshening a look, but its actually very aggravating to owners who bought earlier and miss out on goodies like MCT, especially since it will hurt my resale value substantially I feel. Major changes are better left for the next model. just my 2 cents. Back with the e46 M3 BMW's facelift was backward-compatible LED tail lights and two new colors.

For the most part I really like the new look - although those pics in white are terrible and dont do the car justice - and agreed, way too many LEDs - Leds are like Carbon Fiber to me, I just never got the infatuation with them.

Two tone interior! Damn u amg.

Cross between a current C, an Evo 8, and an Audi. Meh...
They got rid of the double front side gills and feminized it into one with a softer hood and front.

Interior is nice.

Still a little fruity-licious in my opinion.

Does this mean that the non-Development pkgd car doesn't come with a rear spoiler?

Not trying to be biased, but I think current model has more oomph!

Most of the changes are welcome but the majority of us seem to agree the exterior is a bit less aggressive and more subdued.
I would not be happy to have bought a 2011 a few months ago and see this one come thru now. I think this will mean that many 2011 orders may be pushed to 2012 and that means great deals will be coming for the ones that do not care about the upgrades.
Interesting note that they have sold 17K C63 in three years or an average of about 5K per year and 30% of them had the PP.

MBUSA
US Numbers were
2008 = 450
2009 = 2300
2010 = prob similar to 2009

How are there 17k considering US is the biggest market?

well that would make roughly 30% of total sales for the US alone.
