Thinking of buying this...any feedback, pointers please

EDIT....according to those listing the red ones been on AT for sale since October........but the blue one will have its first birthday on there in about 2 weeks!!!......I think that pretty much proves that they are too expensive.....or not as nice as the pictures portray them.......

Could well be right on both counts, but as marque enthusiasts we tend to forget how very tiny the market is for these cars once they’re more than a few years old.

Thanks - I think I've seen every E63 for sale in the UK now in that price bracket. It's probably between the pre facelift posted and the silver facelift 2015 plate, although i'm not keen on black interior it does look nice (aside from the black grille) The seller bought this from a MB dealer. I have seen all the paperwork for this too and the HPI check is clean, the first owner had it for 2 years, 2nd for nearly 7 years and third for 6mths up to Oct 2024.

The prefacelifts do have adaptive headlights which are very good even though not LED.
I suggest the main consideration if you're going for a 5.5 it is to get one with the updated timing chain design.
Personally I'd suggest the 6.2l of the prefacelifts. It's just fabulous (ofcourse i only have the facelift S version which might not be as good as the non S). There's a 6.2l with 40k miles

Thanks - I did see this but I would prefer a more updated interior - plus that 6.2 is a bit too thirsty
