- E55k AMG Sold / S211 E320 CDI I6 W212 E63 6.2 N/A saloon.
This is my point the M157 can supposedly abiterate the M156 in all aspects. It is the faster car, the numbers show this. Has more torque more hp. It's a newer design. And good on it then very reasons.
But I'll say it again the M156 is a amazing engine design and fact has won awards in its class. Now if I did want to spend thousands to make it faster I could very well do that. But isn't that coming away from the fact the N/A engine is a master class and one would lose that natural workhorse engine feel. I've had the M113k and as amazing and engine it is I prefer the natural acceleration the M156 gives and keeps giving. No delay just pure power all the way to 7.200 rpm. You also have to drive the car it's more driver engaging is the 6.3 lump.
And I will keep saying it until I'm blue in the face. As a stock exhaust tone the M156 sounds less restrictive and more beefy and natural V8 like to the M157 5.5tt. And has been said before the M156 is the exhaust tone most people adhere to out of the two vehicles in question. Did AMG get get the exhaust tone wrong on the 157 probably no but why do many seem to want to alter that very thing.
Both cracking cars I'm not here to step on people's toes I just want to share my thoughts on my particular car.
The both bark and pop and crackle it's just the 156 sounds better for my liking.
