Looking at a 2012 C63 coupe, anything I should look for?

Hey all, I am looking at a 2012 C63 Coupe with about 60,000 miles on it.


Anything I should look for or be worried about?


Thanks in advance!

Get p31, LSD, and upgrades headlights. If the pano roof creaks and makes sounds when turning up a curb then use that to negotiate down the price.

Thanks all. This one does not have the p31 package, but has the upgraded headlights/lighting.


I've been searching...a lot of info on here, so sometimes it's easier to start a new thread and ask the experts on here that are kind enough to provide some helpful info!

GT2 C63 and yo sister
I can't believe the coupes were all saddled with the heavy and useless panoramic roof, even the black series, a bad move imho

2012 and newer is pretty much bulletproof, with the one major issue worked out already by then.

I have driven 3 of these over 6 years and been pretty darn near problem free. Not a quarter of the issues my BMW had in 2 years. The odd car has annoying, small issues but I only know of one 'lemon', despite the number of groups I'm in.

The items NotABaller mentioned at the beginning and you are good to go. Not a ton of options in these cars anyways.

P31 is nice to have, as is the LSD. But you can get P31 power with a tune, and you can get an aftermarket LSD.
2012 and up should have no issues.
