    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    I guessed right :). When I asked why it had been traded in so quickly, the salesman said "the buyer found it too fast for him", which I thought was rather amusing as I doubted anybody would expect an E63 to be anything but fast.

    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    I think it may well have been "your" car I looked at and was considering buying. A hyacinth red E63 with black interior, registered on 8th December with a registration ending in UVB?

    W213 E63s 4Matic clunking... Anyone else?

    The E63 I drove was on 19's with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres, so 265/40R19 on the front and 295/35R19 on the rear. Admittedly, the weather was pretty cold (between 0 and 2 degrees C according to my car) which seems to be a factor. I've already been out this morning and it's 8C, so am...

    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    The reason I'm not ordering isn't actually down to the problem itself, more Mercedes UK's "couldn't care less" attitude to what is a design flaw that, even now, they are trying to blame on somebody else by saying it is the tyres. Why should they deserve to get my money?

    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    To be honest, I haven't got a clue. The E63 was fantastic and did everything I wanted and, to be honest, if I'd not accidentally come across a video mentioning the crabbing issue, would probably have put a deposit down on one this morning, but now I know there is an issue and the way customers...

    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    I didn't realise GLC owners were getting wheels and tyres FOC, so I didn't ask about that.

    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    Sorry, I put the word normal in quotes to infer that whilst it appears it's normal behaviour for the 4Matic system, it is far from it as no other car I've ever driven has noticeably experienced this behaviour. What I felt reassured by was that I wasn't imagining what I felt and that the issue I...

    W213 E63s 4Matic clunking... Anyone else?

    I had a test drive in a used E63 yesterday and I was smitten with the car, as was the rest of my family and planned on getting back to them today to agree a deal for collection this month. I had dismissed a feeling of the steering jumping at slow speed as gravel under the front wheels and only...

    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    This is a very useful reply, thank you very much :) I'd seen the second one, but the first didn't come up in any searches I did, but at least it puts my mind at rest that it's "normal", if somewhat abnormal.

    RHD W213 E63 crabbing issue?

    I currently drive a BMW, but am looking for a change and need a V8 engine in my life. I've driven a stunning W213 E63 this morning and all was well until I got back to the dealership, where I did a 3 point turn (to test out the reversing camera). Driving forwards slowly out of the parking...
