Very pleased to say that I’ve now joined the E63 club.
I started looking about 3 weeks ago, ran the gauntlet of the frankly appalling dealer sales offering(s) and yesterday I’m delighted to say I put a deposit down on this:
It’s a late 2018 E63S, with the newer steering wheel etc - Premium Plus with Night Pack with the added bonus that it has the drivers package too, so no limiter (highly unlikely I'll ever get to the top speed but nice to have!). This was the third car I looked at, having seen a 19-plate Selenite Magno example a couple of weeks ago, which I discounted because of the horror stores over maintaining that finish.
Then yesterday I looked at a early 2018 Hyacinth Red car in the morning, which was beautiful - but simply not ‘AMG enough’ (my wife said it first and she’s not hugely interested in cars).
Then I saw this car and fell in love instantly. I broke my own rule of never owning another black car again (someone remind me of this fact when I inevitably post about keeping the damn thing clean). I also did something I never thought I would, I bought a car with GPF’s - this is something I’ll need to get used to. Time will tell if I miss the volume and hard edge sound of my C63S - watch this space I guess, as I might be asking for recommendations to make it louder.
Anyway, I collect the car on Friday as the garage agreed to have the Transmission and Diff oil changes done after I pointed out they were due (car has 30k up so they need doing).
It’s going to be a LOOOOOOONG week.
Finally, if anyone is in the market for a cherished 2017 C63S in Brilliant Blue, it'll be up for sale sometime next week (don't know what price the garage are going to put it up for yet).
Couple more photos....
