SL600 changes by year

Hello, I have been having a hard time finding anything that can tell me the differences between model years of the SL600. Like what year the 7 speed tranny was standard and any other changes. Does anyone have a link to something like this?

The 7 speed was never used in the SL600, only a facelift was done for 2010 and they started using the sl65 transmission in 2007 I think, but it was just a stronger 5 speed.

The power was increased by a few horses late on but as far as I am aware no engine changes have been made.

I think the coil packs may have been upgraded on the facelift.

Production was stopped in 2012 from what I remember, the 5.5 V12 is no longer produced.

The facelift was in 2009.

Thanks guys. I guess that's why all I could find was the facelift.
