C63 vs. E550 Coupe

With options the cost is about the same. Thoughts?

I was tempted to get the E550 Coupe when I was shopping for a the new C63. Both were inside the showroom and you can compare them both side by side. The interior of the E550 is definitely better than the C63, as it is obvious. Power of course is with the C63, but the E550 power is more than enough for DD. The ride is with the E but if you want sportiness then the C. So the bottom line is what you want in a car at that point in time.

We almost purchased a C63 Coupe because of its horsepower and big brakes, but decided to buy the '12 E550C. The E's interior is nicer, preferred its pillar-less styling, the new turbo engine with its great torque + no gas guzzler tax and the additional safety features were a plus. The minuses for the E were no limited slip available as an option and the C63 transmission would be preferred. Both are great cars.

With the new twin turbo V8 in the E550 coupe, it is definitely a more interesting car.

A simple tune should bump up the 402hp real nice.
