Too good a deal to pass up on new 2013 E63 Biturbo

Yep, I've done it again. Traded a 6 month old new car for another new car, this time my 2013 C63 Sedan P31 for a 2013 E63 Biturbo. Although I had a 2012 E63 Biturbo before and traded that for the 2013 C63 for more rawness and cornering fun, I found myself missing the amazing straight line power of the E. A crazy deal (both on trade value of C and selling price of E) I was offered on a leftover black/black new 13 E63 was all it took to send me back to the dark side.

Hopefully I have a chance to at least tune it before the upcoming Shift-S3ctor airstrip event in October. Would be nice to smack down some of those cars that took me last time in the C.

The only downside is that the W212 forum is dead, so expect me to keep hanging out in here.

MBH header system and ROW airboxes off the C will be up for sale soon.

E63 is a fine ride. Congrats!

Can you tell me with the P31 sedan how much hp/tq you gained with the AFE Pro Dry Air Filters, ROW Airboxes, MBH Headers, MBH Catless Mids & X-Pipe
and Kleemann Tune?

Any before & after dynos? I have read that a tune on a P31 will not do much good, but any input you have is appreciated as to those mods!

Your dealer probably has a shrine to you in his office somewhere. Everytime he gets an orthodontist bill for one of his kids he prays to the shrine to bring you in for another swap...

Seriously dude? You could have bought a Lamborghini for all the money wasted. But I guess I can appreciate the passion. You should have just waited for the new one to come out.

As long you are happy!

I'm genuinely interested in the $$$ wasted on tax for swapping cars so frequently. That's the only reason I couldn't do it.

That's why I always lease now. Under a lease, tax is paid as you go, not all up front like in a purchase.

Yeah that doesn't even make sense since I left Mercedes altogether and for the price of my one CLS63 payment I got an M5 and M3. How's the Smart Car you bought and now are trying to sell?

Exactly! Especially not a big deal when you put $0 money down on a lease...

Congrats. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with the M157. The next car might be a left over E63 S-Model 4 Matic in 6 months
