Hi all,
83k miles, I'm looking for gbp14.5k (bought for 16k and spent around 4k since July )
it's with a heavy heart that I'm looking to swap my w212 e63 saloon and e93 BMW M3 for an s213 E63s estate (that has the options and mileage I've been seeking for a long time so I'm looking to move quickly). I'd have kept the 6.2l for a long time if the boot was just that bit bigger and could fit all our luggage but it isn't quite enough.
The car runs perfectly, and since I bought in July, it has had the following done :
New rear subframe, new brake lines, transmission service , new engine and transmission mounts, new fuel injectors, spark plugs, rear diff service etc,. It has an MOT till October, only advisory is rear tyres related. The paintwork is in great condition as is the interior.
Factory Options are extensive and cost around gbp17k and include:
A. Driver assistance pack : Distronic adaptive cruise control (note blind spot assist needs a new rear sensor for that to work )
B. Dynamic seats , heated , cooled, massaging and dynamic inflation during cornering
C. External carbon fibre pack
D. Performance Pack (better handling than standard with tweaked suspension etc )
E. AMG LSD locking diff
F. Night vision
G. Blu tooth integration
H. Reversing camera
G. Rear windscreen blind
Etc
I'll be looking for a sale price around 14k which is only slightly higher than the motorway.co.uk quotes and around 6k less than I paid for and spent on maintenance in the short space of time I bought it.
One alloy has a little bit of historic scuffing, the refurb work done on the wheel peeled off 2 days after I bought the car! It's very minor so will be cheap and easy to rectify. One tpms sensor is missing and my mechanic has it ready for fitting. Plenty of brake rotor and pads left, they won't need replacing for along time.
Having driven 4 models of e63, the 6.2l feels better to drive than the 213 with no weird AWD torque steer and better steering feel, definitely more engaging and fun than my 5.5l and far more dynamic than the w211. but the boot space is just not enough for 4 large suitcases and I can't find any 6.2l estates with the performance related options this one has so I'm moving to the s213 estate platform which has a few good AMG estates currently on the market.
Pictures to follow shortly ...
