2010/11 and 2012 differences in the c63

Looking to buy a c63 in the near future just wondering all of the differences. I know the bumpers are different along with the dash and transmission. Is the transmission that much better? Also I was told that the 2012 ones have problems with oil seeping through the block I'm not sure if that is true.
Thanks
Tom

Idk know much about the previous models and the differences besides what you stated, but I haven't had any problems to date (2000 miles).

My advice would be to go and test drive both if you can. A few members have told me about my MCT not having a torque converter in comparison to the previous models, however I have no complaints about the MCT whatsoever.

I will close with, "this car is a BEAST and I have a GRIN on my face every time I start her up or mash the gas pedal!!!"

Good luck
