Help on buying decision please!? 08-11 CL63 vs 2011> CL550

Hey guys,

new here and I know a lot of you have a ton of knowledge about the CL class. I'm no newbie to cars, (Lambo BMW and Ferrari), but a newbie to the CL class.
Basically I'm looking to replace my BMW 650 with a Mercedes CL as a daily. I'm really torn between the 2007-2011 CL63 AMG or a facelift 2011- CL550 twin turbo. I'm not super concerned about performance. I have a supercar for that.

I know now there are some threads out there but I would love your general input, your thoughts on the two. Value, reliability and maintenance mostly. Also, are there any differences in terms of technology, Bluetooth etc..? I think looks wise I lean toward the pre facelift AMG.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy Labor Day !!

If you can afford it buy an 11-14 in any version.

S63 COUPE M157
If you have a supercar, than definitely go for a facelifted CL500. The problem with 63 is the stiffness of suspension. It is simply too harsch to drive it around.
