Well finally made the order, the car is actually for the wife so she made the choices to suit her. Not what I'd of chosen but it keeps the peace. Must admit I'm really impressed with the performance of the thing, a to b it would leave my E63 struggling. Quite tempted by an CLA45 Sport Brake...

Hi Everyone, Looking at adding an A45 to my E63. The wife has fallen in love with it after her test drive, must admit I was very taken by it also. Just wanted to get a concensus on what any A45 owners thought were good optional extras and which weren't worth the money. Also, anyone got any...

Hi all, I've got a 63 plate E63 with the standard 19 inch alloy. I wanted to check what the exact type of finish is classed as, as I have some light scuffing I would like to rectify. Are they diamond cut? Also any recommendations for repair companies in North Wales/West. Thanks in advance.

Did you only change the one tyre or did you do the pair?

So everything had been going so well in my new E63 until I picked up a puncture on my front nearside tyre yesterday :@ Only 3k miles on them. Does anyone think its repairable or is it to close to the shoulder?

I'll get some better pics up shortly. A mate of mine is a budding photographer so probably end up with some moody shots. Still managing to keep it under 4.5k which given current road conditions is plenty. Not sure I would describe the power delivery as savage. It is just relentless, due to...

So.....a couple of days into ownership annnnnddddddd...... It is epic! I took a gamble buying it having not even seen one in the flesh let alone test driven one, but the gamble has paid off. Power is effortless, gearbox top notch, ride comfort and poise is exceptional given its near 2 ton kerb...

Hi All! So my new W212 E63 gets delivered today, yes xmas has come early. As much as I can gleam the supplier will drop it off on my drive, quick walk around, sign paperwork and wave them goodbye. Can anyone tell me what the running in procedure with this car is? Whilst it we be difficult to...

90 mins on the phone this morning pulling out what little hair I have left. Bottom line, cancelled my old multi car for both vehicles and took out a new multicar, which they told me I couldnt do yesterday! Waived the cancellation and admin fee too! I guess they had the ijits manning the phones...

Yeah I know it sounds simple but I have both cars on a multicar policy which saves me 10 to 15%, hence my reluctance to take that option. I'll see what the pricing team say.

Hi all, after some pointers on how not to lose my mind with my insurance company! Before I put a deposit down on my new E63, I got an online quote from a price comparison website underwritten by my current insurer. Not surprisingly they came out the cheapest, £630 ish, right I thought i'll put...

Hi, Any know or have pictures of the boot on the W212 E63? The reason I ask is I'm looking to buy a boot liner from a company local to me before my car arrives in December. Boot Liner - Mercedes - E Class (5 Seat) Estate 2010 onwards What I need to know specifically is if the AMG has...

Thanks for the pointers chaps. Best deal I've found is £25k for £229 on Autotrader. A number of the online companies have a £75k limit which the E63 Estate is above.

Hi, Just after a consensus on GAP insurance for leased cars. Pick my E63 up next month and have the option to take GAP £10K cover @ £399 for the 2 year lease. Cheers.

I was mulling over upgrading the diff but 1 its very pricy, 2 adds a ton to the lease and 3 my E63 isn't going to be a track tool. More a rapid dog and baby transporter!
