Buying a used C63 AMG - any known problems?

I'm thinking of buying a used Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG for around £30k. I will only use the car at weekends and will cover 5000 a year. Does this car have any known issues?

Fantastic, hand-built engine. But you need to make sure the car itself has the right handling pack. Some information here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/c-clas.../ Test of the 507 edition here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/mercedes-benz/merc.../

A big improvement on the previous C-Class. Feels well built and robust. Very comfortable and refined. High quality ride. Good CDI diesels.
