I am quite calm, just wondering what this milk / juice business is all about?

WTF is this about?

I thought about taking it off to sell, best way would have been a direct whole diff swap with another car without opening the differential casings. But hassle with day off (unpaid), organising it all, risk of damage / problems with the car just before it goes back etc. All conspired to make it...

I forgot to post... When BCA turned up on 19th Dec they said they were just doing the checks & logistics for MB, it was going to an MB dealer / depot on the Wirral, not to auction. I've looked on the MB used website and can't see it. If you're interested: Reg: LO63 ARU, registered Jan 2014...

The M6 is awesome so far, I love it. Reviews rate it as a better drive than the F10 M5, and the lower c of g and seating position and incredible all-enveloping interior make it feel like a different car. Power delivery wise it should be the same as the F10. If you hated the F10, then it might...

Thanks guys. PS I'm selling the sprint booster as used on the car, great bit of kit. See here http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/classifieds-general-sale/202484-fs-sprint-booster-amg-v8-5-5-tt.html £100 ono

As above, 1 year old, as new. With remote setting button on lead. Really makes the car feel much more lively compared with the standard L-O-N-G throw throttle pedal action. The setting button will run round to the side of the seat base, then you can select OFF, sport or race easily with your...

E63 is dead, long live the M6..

Yes, it's a great car. I've looked after it meticulously and only ever hand washed it myself. And it has a quaife LSD that I fitted which is not worth removing.

Was it really March last year? Time flies....

It's not that I don't want to use it (and I did take it to the south of France last year) If I do any more miles in it the back tyres will be at 3mm and I'll get charged for new ones by MB. Also the front pads are down (but no light yet) and the B service light will be on if I'm not careful. I...

Cheers Dave, funny when a car is going you start loving it again! Looked at the E63 on the drive yesrerday and thought wow, what a lovely motor! Went out in it briefly (5 miles) last night and yes, what a great car it is..

Tried my best, but I don't commute in it. The excess charge is only 6.9p/mile which is ridiculously cheap. My next lease is on 8k per year, plenty for me.

The time has come, the 2 year lease is up next month and the E63 estate is going. I haven't done the 20k miles allowed, only managed 17k. Av 19 mpg over the term. 3rd rear tyres nearly at 3mm 2nd fronts at 4mm. One cracked front wheel. 10 litres of oil as "top ups". My first AMG. I've enjoyed...
