I had a 2011 C63 in magno alanite.
Great color, great look, adds uniqueness to the car.
Quite easy to maintain as you cant polish it... just powerwash and microfiber drying.
Only downside is possibility of repair... I had a scratch on the lower passenger door the first month I got the car. Got quoted 4000$ to fix! They needed to repaint the whole door and front fender without confirmation that the finish will match. I ended up getting the dent removed and the scratch buffed then debufed with 3M matting paste. It showed to my eyes but not to someone who didnt knew.
All in all I would not do it again. A stealth wrap will get same effect for half the price and is reversible/repairable if you get into a fender bender...
my 0.02$
I've seen a review (jalopnik I think) where they have a magno alanite wagon with lots of pics...
