After 3 years of faultless ownership, I said goodbye to my E63S today and traded it in for an M5 Competition. Will miss the awesome noise

That drop seems to be happening for most cars in that price bracket, although I know the questionable engine in the new C63 probably won't be helping either.
Nice choice, I prefer the M5 but would take the E63S in the absence of an F90 estate.

Recently joined the AMG club after owning a Megane RS 265 Cup for almost 10 years. With my 40th on the very close horizon, decided to go big whilst I can: -
2020 E63S AMG Estate in Cavansite Blue. Pre-Facelift, AMG Performance Seats, carbon fiber and Nappa interior. Absolutely in love with it. Got what I consider to be a decent deal from a main dealer including a 4 year warranty and alloy insurance. Had a bit of a initial hiccup as they didn't replace the battery so was showing some errors up when the ECU was checked by a mechanic I trust, they also mismatched the tyres, they were all Michelins and that's the best that could be said about it. Got them to cover the cost of two new tyres and the battery at least, so now it's on Continental Sport Contact 7's all round.
It's an absolute joy to drive and even though the MPG quickly approaches low teens on a usual drive, the smiles per mile factor is unmatched. Added to that it covers everything the better half wanted (4WD - Check, 5 Door - Check 'Practical' - Check)
Always wanted a Merc too, so several bucket list entries ticked off in one go.

She was actually quite supportive, although she's somewhat hesitant to give it a drive herself, late night trips to the local supermarket car park for now
How did you negotiate a 4 year warranty? Was it FoC or did you have to pay extra?She was actually quite supportive, although she's somewhat hesitant to give it a drive herself, late night trips to the local supermarket car park for now

Makes me weak at the knees. Lovely motor

Awesome car @ChugNorris, loved mine although it was a saloon. Enjoy the epic noise

They put in 2 years as standard, negotiated with them to throw in another 2 years and the alloy insurance rather than push them down on the price.

Great car, hope your Merc dealer is better than the majority

Initial impressions are not great, been waiting almost a week for a sales guy to unregister the car from the previous owner so that I can add it on the Mercedes me app, not a huge issue but if that's how they treat someone with an V8 AMG...

^^ don't do that ChugLook up my E63 posts from a couple of years ago
Merc aftersales is garbage but tbh the app gives you not much more than fuel, and you know you'll be low already.

Yeah man, that AMG badge means nothing to them unfortunately
I'm on my 3rd AMG and continue to receive crap customer service. Mercedes dealerships are just awful all round

Oh god, you had some rotten luck! Do you still have it? Hopefully it's been better recently!Look up my E63 posts from a couple of years ago
It makes me glad I have the main dealer warranty, even if it doesn't cover everything!^^ don't do that Chug
This is most likely true but would use the remote start now and again, so maybe in a month it'll be sorted
Definitely getting that impression. At least the car is magnificent!Yeah man, that AMG badge means nothing to them unfortunately

Had a 'proper' drive in it for the first time today since getting Continental Sport Contact 7's all round, absolutely fantastic, feels considerably better on grip and acceleration than it did with the 'Michelins all round' that the dealer sold it with. It's frightening how relaxed the car feels at 90mph+ too.

Nah, got rid of it in 2021. Was sad to see it go, but it was just too unreliable.Oh god, you had some rotten luck! Do you still have it? Hopefully it's been better recently!
