E550 convertible VS E53

I'm looking at a '14-16' E550 convertible VS the new E53 rag top. I'm very disappointed that they didn't make an V8 E63 in the new convertible! I have owned an '04 CLK55 and miss the 2 door/four seat layout (currently have an '03 SL) . My idea is to get the last gen E550 soft top and possibly add tune & exhaust to where an E63 should have been power/performance wise. Anyone tried this successfully? Also, does anyone know if the E63 front and rear facias will fit the convertibles, possibly including a head light swap? I would really like to have the AMG look on the convertible w/o having to buy cheap crap aftermarket bumpers. Thanks.

I think if you got an exhaust and tune with on the e550 with that V8 and the turbos you'll definitely be as close to an e63 coupe as you could be that engine sounds great

That's odd I'd think the S class would be more spacious but checkout some of the videos on YouTube the e550 can't really sound amazing if done right

E550 Coupe

I have an 2014 E550 coupe and get complements all the time about it and asked if it’s an AMG I’ve already done the muffler delete and love it sometimes the car randomly burbles 😁😁😁 unfortunately I can’t make the car do it but with so many tuning options OE renntech Weistech eurocharge and the insane increase in power 550HP and over 600TQ from any company I can’t justify the over 90k price tag for the E53 with less performance

I thought so too... with the driver seat all the way back against the rear seat my leg is still pretty bent.... In the E550 I can't touch the pedals if I do that...... pretty odd huh ?
