2012 C63;1971 280SE 3.5(Sold);2023 EQS 450 SUV 4 Matic (Wife's)
New to me 2012 C63.
Hey guys and gals here are some pics of my 2012 C63 in Palladium Silver with red and black interior and MPP - Premium Package. This car is a CPO and has two extra years of CPO warranty to 120,000 kms. The car does not have PP or LSD but I will tune it and add a LSD if I feel the need. The car has some clear bra on the hood, mirrors and door indents but not on the bumper. It also has AMG door pins and a set of original 5 spokes in gloss black with snow tires.Supposedly the previous owner paid $5500 for the winter wheels and tires. Car only has 22,700 kms. The 2012 does feel a little sharper in the steering and suspension than the PFL and the interior upgrade is a nice addition.
MPP - Premium Package
- Rear View Camera
- Driving Assistance Package
- Parktronic w/ Parking Guidance
- LINGUATRONIC Voice Control
- Passive Lane Keeping Assist
- COMAND APS w HDD Navigation & DVD Player
- Harman/ Kardon LOGIC7 Surround Sound System
- Keyless Go
- 115V Power Socket
- Passive Blind Spot Assist
According to the data card the car has option 22P Track Package. Does anyone know what this consists of?

My first mod OEM CF mirror shells.
Installed the OEM CF mirror shells I got from Matt for my 2010 C63 but of course I kept them. I have lots of nice CF goodies I got or am getting from Matt and they will follow.

Thanks abcut.
I took everything I could off the 2010. I left the front Arkym style front lip (the bumper was full of mounting holes) and Vorsteiner style trunk spoiler and kept the OEM CF trunk lip. Because the rear control arms were modded to add the KMac bushings I left them and the H&R springs on the 2010. I have the wheels, LTHs, shift knob, Euro console, Vorsteiner diffuser and red CF start button. I can use most of this on my 2012. What I can't I will sell.

Thanks Sid.
You did a four year upgrade I only did a two year...LOL. I love the new car and the interior colour was a big plus in making the jump. The red/black interior is gorgeous. My wife thinks its racy (in a good way)...LOL

Cool. No need to look for a steering wheel retrofit
If you sell your start button I'm interested.

I will keep you in mind for the start button.
I have a CF steering wheel en route from Matt with Nappa Leather and red stitching and leather airbag cover. Going to be sweet, I can hardly wait.
I ordered some parts for it for my 2010 that I may sell if anyone is interested in adapting a LCI steering wheel to a PFL. I have an air bag coming from Matt and a steering column coming from CA. I am sure these will be available soon.
Congrats Mort! Although, IMO I think your 2010 looked better and I think the FL has a "soft front" I personally don't think it's worth the $$ loss to get essentially the same exact car for some cosmetic and cluster enhancements. 4 different driving modes is overkill and the cooling issues...but thats all water under the bridge. Call me old fashioned
You're happy and thats all that matters! You love the interior and the trans. Enjoy and keep posting pics of mod updates....

Thanks Zeph and I appreciate the preference for the front of the PFL vs the LCI. I did toss and turn over that quite a bit and also the value of the 2012 vs the cost. It was hard to do the math in any definitive way. In the end I just went with my gut.
I will keep everyone updated through this thread as I progress with this car. I am pretty stoked really and certainly looking forward to the process.
