    Styling?

    Maybe fit the facelift CLS63 rear bumper, or not different enough?

    Anyone Fancy a New Shooting Brake?

    Good grief look at the price! Who on earth will pay that for it!

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    No offence intended, I just think as a package as a whole, the E63 has a much more mature / pipe and slippers look to it. The E63 feels more niche and cult to me, which is a large part of its appeal imo.

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    That's an interesting perspective. From my personal experience, the few 204 C63s I've had have seemed well screwed together. And the w212s I've been in have always seemed decently built. But no denying the RS6 interior is streets ahead in terms of styling... Those seats are lush. Makes the 212...

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    Hey Mark! How are things? Are you still in the M4 Comp? I've been thinking about selling for a while now since the second baby came along... But every time I go for a proper drive and experience that engine I can't bring myself to sell! I've also started looking at the C7 RS6... It looks...

    Car sale

    I'd say a combination of being a niche car, high mileage, and non-standard wheels will make it a harder sell (in addition to the wider market conditions). I also think you would benefit from better pics - remove all items from the car (baby wipes, jacket etc), take it to a local park (or green...

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    That does look like a very nice example. Admittedly iridium silver is my least favourite colour on the E63... It looks handsome but too sedate for me (diamond white with black pack and wheels being the ideal).

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    For me personally, a big factor in moving from a C to an E Class is the extra refinement and toys I can get, so I'd definitely want to hold out for a car with everything I want, even if that means waiting a while. I'm happy to retrofit an LSD but things like the 360 cam (my wife would be...

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    Ah sadly it was a PFL car that I drove. I found the sound almost a bit fake if I'm honest (isn't some sound piped through the speakers?). I guess only a test drive will tell me how they compare.

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    Do you happen to know what the Driving Assistance Package gives you? Would also ideally like one with the 360 cam but that seems very rare on the 212

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    Thanks to all for the really useful insights! I think it's definitely worth me having a drive in an S212 E63 and then I'll be able to make a definite decision. Just to touch on some of the points raised: @badgx - two cars just wouldn't work for us parking wise, and I'd fear that I'd spend most...

    Thoughts on moving from a S204 C63 to facelift S212 E63?

    Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone has made the switch from a 204 C63 facelift to a facelift 212 E63? The context behind this is that I'm the happy owner of a facelift C63 PPP estate - I genuinely love the car... The engine is phenomenal (mapped to 510bhp) and I just love the old school charm...

    Lets see your AMGs

    My first C63 - diamond silver, Eurocharged remap, quaife diff, porcelain interior. Had some amazing trips in that car and it was my first taste of the M156 magic Then moved to a PPP estate when my little girl arrived. Still loving it and don't know what I'll replace it with (despite my...

    C63 507 Model Register

    Nothing more scientific than I get frustrated at not being able to get the power down in my C63 Estate (on PS4S tyres) unless conditions are dry and warm and I'd welcome the greater traction of 4WD (I do a lot of road trips to North Wales where it always seems to be drizzling lol)

    C63 507 Model Register

    Thanks for the summary. It's interesting to hear that they don't sound as good as the C63 - I always thought that was one area where they might excel. The AWD version also particularly appeals to me.

    C63 507 Model Register

    How did you find the F Type V8 compared to the C63? I've always had a soft spot for those.

    Bought 507 - What next?

    Welcome to the group Evotion. I'm just down the road from you in Walton with a PPP Estate which has a remap and secondary cat delete. Happy to meet up so you can have a listen or if you fancy going for a spirited drive somewhere. I've used Guildford Mercedes for servicing before and they've...

    Gosh that can't be stock! My secondary cat delete doesn't sound like that!

    Stock W204 C63 BHP differences?

    My PPP made 470 stock and then 510 after a map. As others have said, there are so many variable factors at play that it's difficult to say. 510 is bang on for a lot of mapped cars so I'd say it's likely yours has been mapped before (unless your engine builder made a few tweaks himself lol).

    W204 wagon M156

    Yep mine's the facelift with the MCT box. It's OK to use and you learn to get the best from it, but the shifts in M mode are quite laggy.
