Thanks for the answer anyway, will have to get the test drive sorted out next week. I find the CLS fantastic looking, even with the new one out, although the interior of course is somewhat dated (Comand screen in particular) but leather everywhere, and this particular one comes fully loaded...

I am considering swapping my X5 to a ‘13 CLS with PP but possibly not with the LSD. Despite some research I haven’t managed to figure out what option code that is? It has the PP and P30 Handling pack and 250 Drivers package but how do I determine if it has the LSD? Also, only having driven a...

I would also look for a car within the dealers network with extended MB Warranty. I just bought (or in the process of buying) a 2014 E63 (S212) with 2 years warranty, and this was what sealed the deal for me. The E63 appears to be reliable beasts, but with the potential of big bills, so...

My post above: Should not post that late, so please read CSL = CLS :wallbash: One more thing for the E: the panoramic sunroof, especially with a black interior, makes the interior quite a lot more airy, compared to the normal sunroof on the CLS. Also, the facelift treatment to the E IMHO makes...

I have very recently had to make this choice, so here goes: CSL is clearly a more special car and not a car you see everywhere - the shooting break especially is quite something. However, I went with a facelift (2014) E63 wagon against a similarly priced CSL 63 SB for the toys: 360 degrees...

M I hope so, as my A6 is mapped to 370 bhp and 816 nm so not exactly slow. Still, as a package and with that dinosaur sized V8 the E63 certainly ticks all my boxes!

Just to revive this topic: just put a deposit down on a 2014 facelift S212 E63 4matic, fully loaded (Drivers pack, B&O, alcantara, dynamic multi-contour etc) with 2 years warranty. Quite a different car to the A6 and it comes with a huge cost in fuel economy and tax (3000 euro in annual tax in...

Yep, good spec, and with the extended Designo leather package and alcantara headliner, but I specifically wanted a facelift car (no offence to anyone with a pre-facelift, just personal preference).

Thanks for the replies so far! It is fitted with a locking diff but have just found out (pictures just got online) that even if it is listed as a 05/2014 it is a pre-facelift model and then it becomes very expensive: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG Performance Panorama Entertainment | Volleder Carb...

I am considering swapping my 2013 Audi A6 3.0 BiTDI (313 bhp) for a 2014 S212 E63 AMG (non 4matic) - I have had my fair share of M models, but they are all rather torque light (most cars are!) compared to the E63, so wondering how it fares on traction without 4matic. I like the all-weather...

Yes! First registration on a new car with more than 211 bhp: 5000 euro. Annual tax depending on engine size, so a 4.4 litre engine is 2200 euro, whereas a 3 litre engine is 750 euro... :wallbash:

I wish! Starting price second hand in Belgium is about 70.000 euro... The 2010 550i (with 2 years BMW AUC warranty) I am looking at can be had for 5000 euro on top of my C300. Not an M or AMG but still a 4.4 V8 TT :o

Just saw your other thread, sorry I missed that. Thanks for posting it. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/172521-m157-m276-camchain-tensioner-heads-up.html
