Mercedes-AMG E63 (W212) | Spotted m156

The only real issue is the cost of the discs?
You are talking BIG money as there are very few places to buy them.

Exactly. Yesterday’s bling is today’s potential nightmare.

Oh, and for the benefit of those who get wound up by these things, it’s hampered by an inferior engine for the platform too

"The 5.5 Biturbo has either 550 bhp and 530ft lbs or the E63S has 877BHP and 590 ft lbs."

Is that a typo, AMGeed?

Yes........577Bhp

It seems there wasn’t many of these made, so even Mercedes realised that it would benefit more from another engine.

Are you sure you haven't logged into your Dad's account?
This is like conversing with a 12 year old.
Bye.

I hope I have a little more wisdom when I become a grandad!

Bye.

Nice car and just up the road from me.

Worth a look for someone but they need to ask some questions about the brakes and life left in them.

I looked at a fully loaded E63s, it had 50,000 miles on the clock & the front discs were badly lipped - needless to say after finding out how much replacement discs were I bought a standard E63 with fresh discs n pads all round - the price of the E63s front discs was something I wasn't prepared to pay for...

No, I think you need an equally shit numberplate to make your car sound that bad!

Not a fan na? Lol .

Can't even work out what that plate is supposed to read

In my opinion the M156 sounds better stock, more depth and character to the sound.

If only it were superior to the M157 in other areas...

 

[E55BOF]

If you look in your handbook you will see the 6.2 has 518BHP and 465 ft lbs torque. The 5.5 Biturbo has either 550 bhp and 530ft lbs or the E63S has 577BHP and 590 ft lbs.

I rather think the stock M157 actually had only 525 bhp; the AMG Package version (like wot I had) had 550 bhp, but the same 590 ft lb of torque as the 63S.

 

[AMGeed]

^ Depends what year Dennis.
The AMG performance package was done away with in 2013 with the facelift model and the standard E63 has 550bhp and 530ft lbs the E63S has 577BHP and 590ft lbs.
With a simple remap, I have 666bhp and 775ft lbs

I think this particular vehicle has headers fitted as well as straight pipes in place of the mufflers

 

[AMGeed]

^ And it sounds crap.
