PFL205.064 with M276.823 (Oil pump solenoid defeated)
Video with exhaust sound from the M256M engine. Doesn't sound much different in the video to the M139.

Please kindly provide us a clip of the M139 (the specific car and model year you are comparing to) because of curiosity.

I'm just comparing to my W206 C43 - but admittedly, Australian delivered cars do not have the OPF so it's possible that an M139 without an OPF is going to sound a lot closer to the M246M which does have an OPF.

I'm sure Mercedes is going to use those things to motivate people to get the full fledged CLE63.

Interview with AMG Head Michael Schiebe Top Gear UK. It looks like the CLE 63 hinted to be the 6 cylinder.

That's what's a bit odd in the newer AMG lineup. People gravitating toward the W206 C43 over the C63, and possibly the CLE53 over the CLE63 if the CLE63 gets the 4 cylinder hybrid setup. Maybe there's some logic to creating a second-from-top model as being more desirable than the top model, but I'm struggling to see what that logic might be. Seems more likely to be a miss-step from MB, who thought people would be wowed enough by high HP and torque figures to overlook the 4 cylinder engine and significant increase in weight that this setup brings.

At 235 hp/liter I would wait for 4 years of field experience to see if the M139 likes to grenade itself.

Saw it in person. Feels cheap, cheap interior plastic, cheap piano black plastic on the trunk between the taillights. The wheels are very cool though. Base price of 109k€? No thanks.

Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing your impressions. It is still on my shopping list when it arrives to Canada, I will need to see it in person myself to decide if I should consider something else instead. Hopefully specific options will mitigate that cheapness it but I am not holding my breath.

I’m one of the few to try all of the new AMG cars including the new GT63. AMG has my heart but not until they go back to their roots, new cars are pure trash. I can’t recommend any of the current lineup, unfortunately.
