Pros
  • Choice of M156 and M157 V8s (different model years)
  • Rather robust engine lineup save for the M272/M273
  • Superb 9G-Tronic transmission
  • Great M157 engine still available
  • Good 0.28 drag coefficient
  • Good towing capacity
Cons
  • Not as elegant as its predecessor
  • Widespread use of 7G-Tronic transmission
  • Troublesome M272 and M273 engines
  • Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
  • Even uglier than the pre-facelift model
