difference between facelift
I drove two c63's this weekend. One was a 2012 coupe and the other 2010 saloon with performance pack.
The only real difference I noticed was the stiffer springs in 2010.
Since this though I've learned that there's a difference in the gearboxes? I never noticed it tbh but maybe because I wasn't looking. Did notice that they're very slow changes though, quite sludgy.
What do you lads think and when I'm at it, any sources to point out facelift changes.
Thanks

Front fascia, hood, rear lights, interior, nav screen, optional 2 tone seats. 12+ has the MCT, very minimal difference in shifting if I remember everyone's opinions. Can't go wrong with any of them. Engine 2 stronk. OP, nerf nao plox.

Yes
Electronics differences (bt audio, lane tracking, blind spot, etc.), rear diffuser/bumper more aggressive, alcantara/dinamica is different in the 12's with pp and different color options. Also has race start. Wheel option added (twin spoke). Conti tires stock. 2013 has mbrace2.
MCT vs the older transmission is definitely noticeable. Going from my 09 to the 12, one of my biggest complaints was the slow shifting, it's much improved now.

performance wise, the gearbox is a huuuuge difference. on M and S+ it downshifts at least twice as quick as the older gearbox ever could on its best day. Very close to DCT on downshifts, however you cant double/triple downshift or upshift like in real DCT cars. Plus the upshifts are soo quick you hear that pop that is known to accompany DCT cars
