Mine is an 09 sedan with 68400mls. Bought it in Oct 2012 with 62500k.
It's my daily driver with max 140mls round trips from time to time.
I have an extended warranty valid until 2015 or 100k.
No big issues so far (fortunately enough). Only had the fuel rail sensor changed following a check engine light.
Loving this car everyday!!!

Gradually modding it... plastidip emblems, wrapped grill and window trim, suvneer CF trunk spoiler, wrapped interior trim with CF style film (not as nice as real CF trim), 2010+ mirrors with real CF cover (thanks to Matt). Next is 19 rims, new bumpers ...
Performance wise car has Renntech tune from previous owner. I'm tempted by an Xpipe, resonator/cat delete.

I have an 09 with 70k miles.
Eurocharged tuned at 60k miles
AFE dry filter
Res delete
Secondary cat delete
Aftermarket warranty that probably will be useless if I really got an engine problem.

Daily driven and so far solid as a rock.
Replaced media knob at 58k

I think the resonator delete is very satisfying, might come off as gimmicky, but I love hearing the cars true voice.

Wow, that is low... And I thought I had low mileage on my 2010 @ 6600km.

Oh, my car had an 02 sensor replaced the first day I picked up the car. Other than that, it's been good so far.. but I'm still considering the extended warranty cuz my car has low mileage & I know any higher mileage cars will obviously have more problems.

Lol ! You two should consider open a C63 museum. It might pay since the M156 will be retired soon!

MY 2009, 31,290 miles on the odometer. Still under original warranty, which will be expired by July 2013. Need to start looking for an extended one on May.
No issues so far, only a vibration on the driver's side mirror when driving at 60+ MPH. Got a dent on the front bumper caused (I think) by children that were playing next to the car.
I just moved to a new home, and now I need to drive 26 miles (total) each day to go to work. Before it was only 6 miles.
So far I had 3 thumbs up from other drivers since I started driving it (Aug 2012).

Yeah i had the same vibration on the driver's side mirror before i swapped to 2010+ model. I think it's a common issue for Pre-FLs.

I have a 2008 with 40,000km on it, not really what I would consider high mileage.

Under warranty I have had;
The transmission valve body replaced. Rough downshifts to 1st when in sport mode.
Both mirror blinkers due to water getting in them.
Front engine bay plastic trim near the hood latch weather stripping broken.
Some a/c pump seals and hoses replaced.
Purge Valve

Seriously????
Nice find. How much? Unfortunately you might be out of warranty. Did you get an extended one?

i swear i'll drive it some, just gotta get it in my garage first. pickup...err...delivery is tuesday.

don't mean to swing things off topic of a high mileage thread but i thought it the museum comment was awesome, haha.

yeah it's out of the original warranty but it is CPO and i got an extra year of the MB extended, so two years coverage up to 120k or something between both coverages. i'm so sensitive to condition and wanted a literally new condition one without paying new prices, so i paid a little bit of a premium @ 50K on the nose but it's pretty much fully optioned with the exception of performance package brakes, springs and steering wheel. partial perf package with the LSD and delim. leather, all the convenience stuff available at the time, etc. i might take a little paddling on it when i get out of it but that is ok because i'm sure i'll have a heck of a lot of fun in the mean time!

I have 25000 kms now since January this year. Been trying to take the wife's car mostly to avoid on the mileage during the week.

Will probably buy extended warranty when I hit 60k
