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

I am a bit all over the place: from 911 (996) Turbo, to 997S, to BMW 550i (F10 408 bhp version) to Lexus IS-F. I need a comfortable car for a monthly Brussels-Strasbourg-Brussels trip with decent fuel economy/range (the reason I sold my E60 M5, since it only managed 400 km on 70 litres) but...

Gather that this indeed a rare beast, but to update I decided not to go through with this after reading about timing chain problems on the M278 engine. E550 / E63 BiTurbo: Drive chain fault / tensioner fault / missing check valve - MBWorld.org Forums

Thinking about swapping my C300 CDI for a 2012 E500 4matic with the 4.6 V8 biturbo. A bit of a rare beast, as it was only produced in pre-facelift shape in 2012, so few reviews can be found. Anyone here had any experience with it? On paper it is a very nice package with 408 bhp/600 nm, yet...

Got the car back this afternoon, MB decided to cover 75 % of the price of the repair, which so far only consisted of replacing the EGR valve, part number MA642 140 10 60. So far, so good. Will have another 1000 km journey Monday, guess this will be the test. Thanks xixal for your suggestions.

MB had the car for 3 days so far, and replaced the EGR valve yesterday to no avail, as noted by the mechanic who took the car home overnight to test this. Still trying to diagnose but engine goes into limp mode every time it accelerates. Very rapidly losing all faith in MB and the car, but...
