For your eyes only️
- may even consider a saloon...Thanks, having watched that I've now listed my E63 for sale on the forum & will check down the back of the sofa tonight in the hope I find the money to buy a W213 E63s
Absolutely squire - no problems assuming I get to BOTG this yearThat's awesome, if you get one in time, you'll have to let me have a ride at BOTG, not driven one before
Do we have BOTG event this year?
Motorhub have some lovely stock.
Got to be #1 on the list of places to avoid.Motorhub have some lovely stock.
I don’t even bother looking at the adverts
With regards to S213/W213 what's the difference between the S & standard..??Yep spot on
Active engine and suspension mounts....'Race' mode, AMG Track Pace integration - there may be others, not even sure myself these days
213 e63s big heavy way too silent and refined for an amg those aside it's ok oh yes and uncomfortable sports seats - that's my verdict after a trip to amg hq and back in one.Active engine and suspension mounts....'Race' mode, AMG Track Pace integration - there may be others, not even sure myself these days
I'd agree with you on one point - too quiet, but thats only because most of them (including mine) came with GPF's. Outside of that, its an absolute missile - the sports seats might not be for you but I love them, loved them in my C63S too, make's the cabin feel like a very special place to be.
Taking out the stock exhaust has helped me somewhat. I'm going up north on 9th Feb, I'll have to find some time to take the car out on some windy roads to see if its got the magic or not. Certainly I'm enjoying the sound quite a bit , I normally drive a v8 NA bmw 6 series for my work commute, so it's a very nice change to use the E class instead for a few days until I charge up the flat battery on the bmw. I'm keen to mod the exhaust on the bmw but ultimately if the 212 can impress me in the peak district then I'll keep it and try to keep my prying eyes off the 213s on autotrader
I've only owned mine 3 years. One thing that just made the 205 shine was the super quick and entertaining downshifts and upshifts and the car hitting the grip limits so easily. The E just seems too capable for its own good, meaning scary speeds to extract thrills
Me neither
Planning on viewing a 2019 facelift C63s estate on Friday - one owner, FMBSH, all the toys & a good price - so much cheaper than an E63s - hopefully it will drive as good as the multiple reviews I’ve watched recently
Maybe the E63s can wait a few more years..
The larger fuel tank option was discontinued early on from what I’ve read (mores the pity!)I have no driving experience with regards to 213 M177 but I do know its a closed deck engine like the M156 and the walls are also coated with twin-wire-arc-spray (TWAS). I hear its a very strong engine and very tuneable. No serious reports of any catastrophic engine failure but there are some reports of failing coil packs, might be a manufacturers bad batch or something? Easily replaced at home, nothing that would be of a concern. Coilpacks are no longer on backorder from what I hear
Good things that come to mind, maybe to lookout for in either S or non S.
1) larger fuel tank (90l?)
2) sport seats
3) hyacinth red
4) alloy wheel design
5) ceramic brakes
Questions
Does it have oil pressure gauge?
Any difference in insurance group S verses non S?
Are the turbos the same between S verses non S?
Any other mechanical differences, disregarding tune & possible exhaust backbox change?
