TIME TO MOVE ON FROM E63S TO...

As the title states. Went in to my Dealership for service B. Car is at 23k miles. Turns 4 years since delivery on the 12th of September. Bought it cash. Have title in hand. Bone stock. Pristine condition. Dealership knows me and wants the car badly!!!

What to get next 🤔

Dealership has a fully loaded brand new GLE63S 2018 I'M liking it feedback from you all on it...

What some feedback (also it has to be AMG and not downgrading to C. Don't want another E) from Members

Yes, bo the GL63AMGS & GLE63AMGS. Not bad. I thought it would be alot quicker. Handling is ok. If you need it as a daily driver or have kids etc. look into it. You could get a sweet deal on the 18's if any on the lot. Then again if I needed an SUV I would buy it because of the ridiculous deal they are offering me. Knocking off close to 25k

2019 Mercedes GLE63s AMG Coupe
I'm two months into the 2019 Mercedes GLE 63s AMG Coupe. Seriously like (love?) the car. Just know a couple things I've observed.:
  1. If you want it to be quicker make sure two features are turned off, Lane Assist, and Traction Control. With 577HP the TC is fighting to keep the back tires from breaking loose. I noticed a difference in hole shots.
  2. If you want it even MORE quicker, there are a couple shops (Race Chip, Vivid Racing, etc) that specialize in re-programming the ECU (chipping) to a modest 30% increase in HP. Keep in mind, this car is 5,300 lbs...
  3. Not sure if I would put it into the "SUV" class in the classic sense.
  4. If you're taking a trip anywhere, and you're taking the kids, with luggage, the dog is going to have to stay home...
  5. Be aware of the front seat bolstering in the AMG. They are high. You don't slip into this car, you climb into it. Once in though, very comfortable. Getting back out can also be challenging.
  6. I'm not sure about the reliability yet, I bought the 7yr/100,000 mile warranty just in case. Also got the 4yr prepaid service just to make me stay on schedule.
  7. With 577HP, Traction control and lane assist, it apparently eats rear brake pads. I do my own brakes so that's not as important to me as being able to butt dyno the car every time I drive it. Plus, doing the brakes is super simple.
  8. The other things I have done that I'm really happy with is the paint was ceramic coated. It's like glass now, Same thing on the front window. It's like permanent rain-x. I put clear bra plastic on the hood, front and rear bumpers and rocker panels (I live on a dirt road), I added the corning film on the inside of the front window that block 99.9% UV. It really keeps the inside of the car cool. I live in Arizona. Lastly, I've got Weathertec floor and cargo mats all around, they fit like a glove, I live in Flagstaff Arizona so lots of snow. Also back of front seat and side back door as well back seat folded cargo area pet protectors for when I take my 75lb Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy for a ride.
  9. I'm probably going to chip it to 700HP in the next year. Hopefully going to stay away from the 900HP mod. (includes turbos, exhaust and tranny beefing up) to keep the warranty in tact.
  10. Damn it gets looks

Still have my beast never getting rid of it. Oliver Weidenmüller the engine builder, true German did a masterpiece. I have added a carbon fiber splitter it was a gift. Way more aggressive look.
