Also, somewhere along the line the P31 became the P30 package.
Even the last 507 editions didn't come with LSD as standard

this is the Dark Grey Intake that comes on all P31 C63's from 2012-2014 Sedans and 2012-2015 Coupes
Option Code 471 needs to be listed on the datacard. Also, I visual that will tell you whether it has the P31 Option it will have a Dark Grey Air Intake Plenum rather than the light grey on.

Ok gotcha thanks for the information guys! This is the engine bay of one of the cars I saw, it’s a 2011 (so pre face lift) and I noticed the intake looks darker but not as dark as the one in the pic you sent? Not sure if it was just lighting or whatever. Just wanted to get your assessment on that. I’d most likely buy a facelift as it seems more common on the facelift vs non facelift. Funny enough I like the interior on the facelift more, but I like the pre face lift exterior more than the facelift.

I’d definitely keep it for awhile. I agree while I like the exterior of the pre facelift more than the facelift, the facelift has a nicer interior and more features that I’d be interested in. Will most likely get a facelift car. Definitely not rushing to find a car too, just keeping an eye out for that perfect car!

@Billythekidd yeah, I think that's the best way to go about it. Look for and get what you want instead of compromising. Good luck with your search

Welcome to "the club" and good luck with your search. My P31 is currently for sale, but I do see that you're somewhat far away. No idea how wide of a search net you're throwing.

Additionally, Datacards never show "P31". Always "P30" if the car has the performance package.
