Some of you may remember me. I haven't really posted on here since selling my 2001 E55 2-3 years ago.

Just picked up this 2007 E63 today. Let me know if you guys are still doing meets. I'll come hang out.

edit:

This was my old E55. Figure it might jog some memories. I traded it to a friend's boss for his F150. He still has it and took care of all the cosmetic stuff that didn't bother me. It looks good now. I could have bought it back, but passed. He raised it back up and has the stock wheels on it.

Hi,
Beautiful car, congrats!
How the old E55 compares to your new E63?

Strigoi

Thanks!

Honestly, they don't compare at all. I'm a big guy at 6'4" 300lbs and think the W210 had a bit more space inside. That could just be the seats though as these really hug me, I do find them to be very comfortable though. My g/f hates the seats because you actually sit properly in them. Materials are a bit nicer (leather/Alcantara) and it has more features than the W210. That's to be expected when comparing a 2001 to a 2007 though.

The power. Holy ****, this thing has a lot of it. I thought the E55 had ***** and it just doesn't compare. 349hp/391tq vs. 507hp/465tq, so that's really a given. I still think either of them have way more power than anyone actually needs on the street.

I paid just a hair over $25k OTD for it. I really don't think you can buy more car for the money. I would not advise getting one without a warranty or if you don't have deep pockets. Luckily for me, my roommate has worked at an indy shop for 18 years and has experience with these cars. I just have to buy him lunch and some beer when he does work to my cars.

I thought E55 front rotors were expensive. You can buy two of them for less than the cost of one front rotor for this car.

It's an awesome car and I love it. My only worry is that it will need a cat most likely as there was a fault for that. My roommate can get an OEM one for $1300 though, so that's not too bad. I'll probably take care of that in a few months. The left engine mount was also leaking, picked up 2 new ones for $133 from Autohaus. I checked out several of these and this was by far the nicest one. The rest had had paint work, needed small **** and needed front brakes.

I sat in a w211 a few years ago and it felt smaller to me too.

Inside W210 feels bigger than W211 for sure. And W211 feel bigger than W219 CLS...

Another thing, the Harmon Kardon stereo in the E63 kicks the **** out of the stereo in the E55. I just wish things loaded faster and that the cd changer wasn't so finicky with loading. Having more than 3 seconds to load a cd would be nice too, especially when driving.

It's also a lot more fun shifting it in manual mode with the paddle shifters than hitting the gear shifter in the E55 to do the same thing.

I think comparing a 210 to a 211 is comparing apples and oranges two differnt cars 210 twice as reliab!e, parts cheaper ,built a lot better built to last 211 cheaper interior i would never buy 211 to expensive to own. 211 guaranteed to cost you money, yes its faster but not built as good.
