newbie AMG owner

[jonboyE63]

Evening chaps, i'm new here - have been lurking for a while but couldn't get an e-mail address that the site could approve....
Anyway, after flirting with E55 wagons I decided to bite the bullet & buy a 2012 E63 wagon - I've had it 4 months & use it daily....what a car...I love it..!!
Had been after one for sometime but wanted to buy local from a dealer & it's just as well I did as it's had a couple of issues.
The parking brake was sticky so the garage replaced the pedal gear & linkage etc & now it's back in having the panoramic roof refurbed - it was so slow to close I had to have it fixed under warranty.
Other than these two minor issues it's been epic..!!
Off to Germany in a few weeks & I fully intend to stretch it's legs on the autobahn..!!
Such a capable car - perfect for wafting & amazing in manual mode on B roads...such a beast..
Planning a LSD and possible a soft re-map in the future.
I'm based in Dorset & would welcome any pointers to local AMG specialist as it'll need a service this year.
Happy Days..!!

Did you buy from MB-Poole or Salisbury?
Just wondering about your experience at either dealer for future (E63s) purchase.

PCS Horndean are down that way near Portsmouth and are very highly regarded as an AMG specialist independent.

Actually it came from a local independent dealers in Poole - they had a wagon & a saloon - i'm an estate kind of guy what with 2 kids, bikes & endless garden dump runs plus I think they look way better......Norman Motors was the dealer name.....they were ok to deal with but took a long time to agree to my price & request for a full 12 month warranty...

By the way, there's a very low mileage E63s wagon for sale in Wimborne - 23,000 miles in black with a ton of options for under £25000...spotted it on Auto Trader the other night.

I know Norman Motors. Usually have some nice cars on the forecourt.
I'll be after a facelift saloon when the time comes to change. Got to be Palladium as well. I'm a fussy bugger. I've done black and silver. Now its time for a change of colour next time out.
