Hey guys, need a little help on a 2012 E63 Wagon. My previous MB was a 2010 C63 and want to get back in the family (currently with an Audi) but don't know much about the 2012 E63s. In general, what are the biggest issues, concerns with these?

-The one I am looking at has 1.5 years of warranty left on it...is it a concern not to extend it if the car hasn't had any issues (34k miles right now)

-What are the differences between a 2012 and 2013? Looks like a substantial change on the 2014s but can't find anything on the previous. Want to make sure I shouldn't look for a 13 if there is something big

-If there are any C63 owners, what is the difference (other than the size really)?

Thanks for whatever help you can give. This forum was a lot of help for purchasing/owning the C and looking your way again!

Thanks!

I don't think there are any major differences between 2012 and 2013, as both are pre-face-lifted models.

I have a 2012 that has been rock solid. that said, I'm not sure I would keep it outside of warranty...

1. Opt IN for the extended warranty

I have three toddlers so the space of the e63 was substantial and worth it as was the AWD for me in the Midwest

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I have purchased my wagon (Woohoo! Will post pics soon) and am already looking at wheels. Question...what are the factory wheel sizes and offsets? Already want to get something else on it

Thanks for the help. Sure I will have more questions soon

Parts question. After having a good look over of my E63 I would like to replace the chrome lip you see when you open the rear trunk (the latch bottom surrounds it). Question is...what is the best place to get this? Go straight to MB or is there another company to look for?

Thanks,
