If it's of any help, Brabus prices are a little bit off putting. I asked for a bunch of items on my S63 Coupe. You also pay for labor on all the parts, on top of everything else. Complex installs like full engine upgrades, as well as interior leather changes etc, have to go to Germany afaik...

My thoughts exactly right now, C63 and E63 are much better things to own, and from a lot of people on the forum they have proven to be far better experiences. A lot of you here also praise the E55, C63, E63, SL63/65 and a few other distinct models, I'm very inclined to listen to people who know...

Sorry for not copy pasting everything, saving space. I think you're on the money, and you've opened my eyes a bit on the forum. I'm taking a far more serious look into a used C63S or an E63s. They haven't tanked yet I'm sure, but they have more features than an S Coupe and you can get 4Matic...

Now that's a very useful piece of content, different ballpark, thank you. I think I've been very lucky holding the other cars, and not so much with the Merc. Mileage per car wise though, there's clearly no comparison as you say, I think my logic overstepped that element while looking at...

Thank you for this, now that is very useful feedback, you are right, as you can imagine my expectations were realistic in that sense, audience wise I didn't do a great job perhaps, and I never aimed for this to become a car collection showdown in any way, or any vendetta against Mercedes, trash...

Bloke learns people on AMG forums are frustrated enough to take every opportunity to be condescending and take a shot Bloke remembers this is the internet, and promises never to post again. I would perhaps urge in the kindest way other reads to not engage if they don't feel the topic is of...

It's ok Mercedes is trying extremely hard not to sell me one. On top of the UK configurator for the S coupes having been broken ever since the face lift was announced, they have no demo cars in the UK. The new S560 Coupé arrived in Brooklands 1 month ago or so, but no AMGs. I said I'll go to...

Since the S63 Coupe is basically the current generation CL, I think these cars are heading almost for the same record.

Recognition is my bet as well. The S Coupe is no head turner and you can drive it full low profile. Connesseurs will recognise it sure, but people never go "wow that's an S coupe", they have no idea, one of the main reasons I bought it. Up close it's clearly more polished than a C class, but...

They definitely are, the 12.7 is me living in super Central London, so there's a half an hour per mile rule that seems to be going round, exaggerating but you get the point. I like accelerating fast to 30mph, but I'm not going to outrace Hamilton through traffic, I definitely avoid that kind of...

I don't think you're seeing my complains in the right light. I fully expect AMGs to be expensive. I am extremely extremely mindful of all costs yes, but that's the very mechanism that pays for the toys in the first place no? We all have our ways to deal with this, either by not caring from day...

Those 500 miles were on top of the average obviously. I don't think we stand to gain anything useful from condescending tones.

You'd think, car has done 23k miles in total, 3rd birthday next month. I've attached something to give you an idea of fuel economy, or lack thereof. According to members of the opposite sex, I drive like a fu**ing idiot, and every traffic light is a drag race. Can't help that, I've tried, but...

CJD sorry if my experience felt like brand hatred, it really isn't. I've owned Diesel S classes for years, and they were absolutely amazing cars, with a run cost that was incredible for the car you were getting, amazing MPG, and I was always in love and amazed with how good they were and how...

I put some random valuation numbers for sure, I would stand by the 10 - 15% max depreciation for being used. I was comparing a new AMG vs a used Ferrari, on new vs new we have no arguments. You'd have to get invited to a 812 Superfast or F12 TDF style car build slot to straight up make money...

I am lucky enough to spend my life at work and have a toy or two around, and going overboard on fuel won't have much consequence, but I can't help to feel a bit silly, wondering if I am getting my money's worth. My point is exactly that, run costs is rivalling much more powerful/exotic cars, all...

£1k per month is usually a single round trip over 400 - 500mph, thinking Cornwall or Edinburgh. For various reasons, I keep every single Shell receipt, so I have a very precise understanding of the expenses, per car. It's not every month, but I can promise you I'm not blowing figures from thin...

You wouldn't think to include Ferrari and AMG in the same bucket, and I think from a brand perspective you're largely right. The "entry" level Ferrari is not exactly price competitive with an A Class Mercedes. However at the very top end of the spectrum: £120k+ RRP as new for the top AMGs(Full...

A bit of a first world problem as you were, but trying to learn from my mistakes and gain insight from the lovely folks around here who've been through far more AMGs than I have. As much as I'm an MB fan, I'm falling out of love with AMG in more than one way. Depreciation hit is absolutely...

Top 10: Large collection of traffic tickets, wrong U turns, speeding, parking etc. Became more of an ass somehow.(possibly not AMG related). I commute through Central London every chance I get, through the madness of traffic, with 9.4 mpg start/stop, just so I get time with the car. Like a...
