Thanks all for the feedback.
As for plans, consider this to be "project clean e63." I already have springs and lowering links as well as spacers and extended bolts to get it sitting properly. Admittedly, I will probably pick up a set of wheels over the winter when the sales pick up. (ROSWELL! I might even finally get 11's in the back!)
All the trim and emblems will be painted gloss back over the winter as well. The front grill too but I am undecided if I wanted to paint the MB star black or leave it chrome. I'm thinking just paint it all black.
Then, picking up some Mode Carbon bits to finish it off cosmetically. Plain and simple.
As for performance, I will most likely be going with a Renntech tune and leaving it after that. I spoke with my dealership and they'll honor the CPO with a Renntech tune. There may come a point in time where I want to make a 10 second pass and will run downpipes for a year to do that but because of NY inspections I'll only put them in and take them out once.
Lastly - to compare - the c63 is more of the drivers car and this is the luxury powerhouse. The c63 as you guys know is a pretty playful car. Kicking out the rear is easy and the exhaust note can't be denied. The c63 also feels lighter, mostly because it is, duh!, but it also just had that nimble toss me around kind of feeling on the road. The e63 is a different beast and is all business. It has one purpose which is to cover distance, quickly. There is no denying in a straight line the e is faster.
Which is the "better" car is something I won't answer. I love them both. And they both serve a different purpose. With cost aside, all things equal, many people I'm sure prefer the c class and others prefer the e class. In fact, the person who traded this in traded for a new c63 sedan. But for me, and my personality and style as of this moment, the E fits.
I'll be around fellas and won't hog up this subforum with e63 stuff so whenever I have updates for you guys I'll toss them in this thread.
