I agree the RS6 Avant looks better, but something about the MB that has that sinister sleep look.
Packs a Tyson punch! You won't know what hit you!
yea the Benz is definitely a sinister looking ride and the interior looks top of its segment
I daily a C63s. Have owned it for 2 and a half years now, put 40,000 miles and several track days on it. It’s given me no issues at all and is an incredible all around car. The only downside is that it is more useless in snow than any Mustang that I’ve owned. Obviously AWD in the E would help out with that part
yea I figure the awd would help. If anything is that bad my wife has an XC90 and we may step her up to a full size suv at some point so that’s little worry. Really though MD has gotten so little snow in recent years anyway.
A friend of mine did this same thing recently. He was looking for and purchased a wagon E53 after test driving an E63 (2020).
The E63 was overly harsh in its ride on summer tires, so the dealer put winter tires on the 21s and drove it to his house for another test drive. The ride was still harsh and unforgiving and after comparing an E53 back to back he purchased the E53. The E53 he did buy has the hybrid motor assist (which the E63 does not) and so torque off the line is very impressive and it is a fast car overall. He is well familiar with quick cars. He bought a chip for the E53 but is less than impressed with what is involved in installing it - he may send it back.
If you want I can put you in touch with him directly. PM me if so.
that’s the one thing that has me a touch more interested in a 21 as all the reviews make it seem rude harshness has been resolved. If that’s the case I’d likely have to wait a while for some to hit the used market as I just can’t justify dropping msrp on a car I’ll be racking miles up on.
I've seen them from 12 to 17 depending on classes. with the m157 engine.
there are 2 engines from AMG i would want in a car. a m177/178 4.0L, or a m113k 5.5L kompressor motor
So if I’m looking at a 20/21 this should hopefully be a non issue
As I always say MB and BMW are nice as long as you got a warranty. Otherwise prepare your bank account if anything goes wrong
chances are if I go after something in this segment of cars I’ll get an extended warranty.
