Pre-facelift front is better looking, but the rear diffusor, taillights and especially the interior looks better on the facelift. Facelift also has the MCT, and a lot of issues ironed out. Both are beautiful cars, can't go wrong with any of them. I went for a facelift estate.

[@BrKnOblivion]

Tune the 7spd on the pre-facelift to the same line pressure and shift times as the SLS, the MCT looks quite bad by comparison then. 8 spd is nice but it's nowhere near as strong as the 7spd.

Same. Own a C180 Class W204 2012. Interior is so nice, you really feel special sitting in it. RWD makes it a joy to drive. 154BHP isn't amazing, but more than enough for my driving, and that turbo makes things fun :) Good fuel economy too.

[@stevekoffeld9071]

@@stfu7308 Go for a lower mileage one that's been taken care of with a good history of maintenance records. I believe the headbolt issues were fixed/improved by then. Start it when it's stone cold, make sure there's no smoke coming out the tailpipe and no big clicking coming from the valve cover. Especially the driver/left side one. That could mean the valve buckets/cams are getting worn. A sign of poor oil change intervals(at least every year or 5K miles, whichever comes first) or driving habits(engine/tranny should be warmed up gently before hammering on it). Transmission should not downshift in full manual mode, even with foot to the floor. Can be finicky on the 3-2 downshift, especially in comfort manual. Likes a little throttle.

[@stfu7308]

@@stevekoffeld9071 oh my god thank you so much steven, but I'd like to ask 2 questions. 1) How often should the oil be changed? 2) Can you elaborate on the downshifting part? Are you saying that it should never downshift in manual even when full on braking? Thank you so much

[@stevekoffeld9071]

@@stfu7308 1. Every 5K miles or every year, which ever comes first. Even if there's only 500 miles on it. Oil has an expiration of 1 year once you start driving where it's not as effective any more. I use Motul instead of Mobil 1. 2. You can downshift, but you'll notice it's much rougher than the 4-3 downshift. 5-4 it's a hero. There's also a comfort manual........roll forward, stop, left paddle into first. If you want it to stay in 2nd when you stop you have to downshift into 2nd well before it stops. It will only do it in "comfort" manual. Good for driving around town and in traffic. Slower shifts and it will downshift on its own if you give it enough throttle. What I'm saying is, before you make that final 3-2 downshift, give it a little throttle to smooth out the shift.

[@stevekoffeld9071]

@@stfu7308 1. Every year or 5000 miles, whichever comes first. I'd probably do it at 4000 miles. Oil is cheap, that's a $30K engine. 2. It should never downshift in full manual mode, no matter what you do. Until you come almost to a stop and it goes into 1st. In "comfort manual" it's the same thing, except if it's "bogging" and you give it enough throttle past the detent, it will and should downshift.

(I plan to track the car maybe a couple times per year too.) (maintenance is also a big factor I don't wanna burn my wallet to keep it running. That being said I'll get an m3 with the road bearings and throttle actuators already done and for the c63 it will be either a 2012 with the updated headbolts so no issues there or if its an older year c63 one that already has the theadbolts done.)
