My new E63 wagon is here!!

isamubenz · 06-12-2012, 05:00 PM

Hi all, newbie here, but my wagon finally arrived after something like 5 months. I had a quite a few moments of getting pissed off at the process, but all smiles now.

2012
LSD
Night vision
driver assistance pkg
rear side airbags

I've tinted it all around lightly (35 I think), and debadged it. Can't decide on a bunch of other things, any thoughts welcome:
- vinyl black out window trim
- star grill, black?
- somehow remove roof rails
- wheels...

intriguingly, Renntech they are doing a big wagon project and will have pics later.

WOW, This is the hottest wagon I have ever seen

5 months is quite a lot but I contribute this your car must be as rare as hens teeth .

Happy driving , I like your color too

BM2BZ · 06-12-2012, 05:45 PM

congrats

! that's the best wagon you could possibly find on earth

!!! is it me or there is a chrome ring around the headlights

?

isamubenz · 06-12-2012, 06:46 PM

Thanks guys!
No chrome ring around the headlights, probably just the bad iphone pic.
ordered some white side marker lights on eBay...

hofb99 · 06-12-2012, 06:53 PM

Wow! AMG wagons are a different breed, for sure!

Why did it take so long and why was the process so grueling?

isamubenz · 06-12-2012, 07:07 PM

no idea why it took so long, the whole car ordering process has always been so lame to me, not enough firm information. I think that the dealer was dithering around in the beginning with getting an allocation, but didn't make that clear to me and I thought the thing was already 'ordered.' I kept getting back that "AMG cars are built in a separate facility and take longer" which was kind of crap, even if technically true. I finally threatened to take my deposit elsewhere, and lo and behold was told it was being loaded on a ship. It's just weird that there's no 'tracking number' with the process.

isamubenz · 06-12-2012, 07:09 PM

One thing I was pleasantly surprised by on the car: I'm very glad I didn't order the optional forged split spoke AMG wheels. They are lighter etc., but I think the stock 10 spokers look better, and set the car further apart from non-AMG cars that have the 'sport' package. Besides, I'd like to get aftermarket wheels at some point, so didn't think it was wise to spend extra up front

RobbieRob · 06-12-2012, 07:19 PM

isamubenz, beautiful car, good luck with it. Go over to the w212 amg forum and search for "VIC", he has a white e63 wagon all done up which is just sick looking(nicest wagon I have ever seen). Maybe He could help out with your future mods. Just do a search over there and his wagon should come up.

BenzoBoi · 06-12-2012, 07:31 PM

Beautiful ride and welcome!

RobbieRob · 06-12-2012, 07:39 PM

CLS63 vs E63 Wagon - Vic55 Style !! - HRE Wheel Content Inside!! Here you go, check out Vics wagon in here. He's the one to speak to about mods for sure. Good luck.

telemakhos · 06-12-2012, 09:14 PM

Outstanding purchase!!!

BM2BZ · 06-12-2012, 09:36 PM

i don't know five months is actually long or short but my friend waited 10 months for his c63 when it first came out

.

leapingpoint · 06-12-2012, 09:46 PM

really really hot wagon!!!

personally, i think E wagon should have a flat badge, but with the stock grille...

hyperion667 · 06-12-2012, 09:52 PM

wow, all kinds of nice.....

make sure to post up in the AMG section too...

do like the wheels too.....
although the split forged you mentioned are na-nice....
always good to have some extra wheels hanging about

looks great....all else aside:

AMG POWER!!

keep the pictures coming!!

clmulli · 06-13-2012, 07:05 AM

The wagon is growing on me. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

isamubenz · 06-13-2012, 01:53 PM

thanks for the reminder on posting on the AMG section, and on rechecking out Vic's wagon, that thing was definitely helping me get through those five months!

I totally agree on the flat badge and stock grille, at least for now... will post pics when I do that minor mod

BenzMan369 · 06-13-2012, 02:33 PM

Can't believe I'm saying this but, wow, that is one wild wagon! Did I really just say that?!

Congratulations and many miles of enjoyment. And maybe a few surprises for some unsuspecting would-be challengers pulling up beside you. Not that I would ever suggest you do that!

II.

hyperion667 · 06-13-2012, 02:45 PM

would take a wagon over a mini-van anyday

Esm86 · 06-13-2012, 03:18 PM

Awsome!!

Over a sedan too

isamubenz · 06-15-2012, 02:44 PM

have always wanted a mad mad german wagon, and Audi never brought their RS wagons state-side, so I figured I better grab this thing before MB realizes no one sells a car like this to the Americans! Maybe I'm just peculiar, but I love the fact that it's a wagon and it's an E63, no one suspects... the de-badging just takes it that extra notch.

Very true. That vehicle is definitely a sleeper to most

I liked the W210 E55 where you really couldn't tell much difference aside from the badges and wheels. A true sleeper though no wagon back then...
