Thinking about a new car to supplement my C63

My E320 CDI has some issues and I'm thinking about a new ride.

My goal was to wait 6 months to a year and buy an new E63s wagon, but I don't have the cash to buy one right now. Trying to save some money so I', thinking about a 2010 E63 (W212) or maybe S63 with the 6.3; however, am I correct that all of these cars have bad headbolts. Here is an E63 on eBay I've been looking at.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-E-Class-Base-Sedan-4-Door/271660038536?_trksid=p2050601.c100272.m3467&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140813112422%26meid%3D26c531aa8fec4d4d9d280a9ffa354435%26pid%3D100272%26prg%3D20140813112422%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D251705044862%26clkid%3D1896784773072921912&_qi=RTM1963930
I do like MB diesels so a newer S350 is also on my list.

I've also enteratined the idea of an 2012+ E350 just to buy some time, but I don't like the idea of having a car I'm not that into.

Even though about an Audi S6 or S8 with the V10.

Dont know how I would feel about having two AMG's in the garage with the 6.3.
I would go for an Audi S6 or even an RS7 to mix things up a bit.

E320 issues are suspension, 8+ years of ownership, and lack of power/features (spoiled by my AMG).

I have a nice Ram 1500 laramie quad cab so I've got the truck thing covered. Definately keeping my C63 Coupe. Need another sedan/4door coupe no SUV. Enamored by the M156. Thought trading my E320 W211 for a W212 E63 would fit the bill. RS7 is out of my current price range.
