Unfortunately nightmare. 07 ml63 amg found so many articles on web regards to tailights leaking water and even recall #'s. Within few months of purchase vehicle flooded all computers under water. For those who live in rain regions pls keep an eye on your tailight seals as once it deteriorates water collects under spare tire...tail gate motor/pump is very prices...and sam unit etc.

Well following a fire that started in my rear door the vehicle spent 2 months at mercedes and insurance agreed to pay 10k for repairs. Upon getting it back after only few days I found water in the back again...Mercedes said it was residual. I said bs my tailgate motor is wet again they said too bad.
I went back to the dealer where I got it and handed in the keys.

yep new. And no I didnt get a bad apple in the bunch. Tell that to the owners of the 75+ cars in my dealership everyday with loads of problems. Ask any service advisor and they will tell you these cars are loaded with problems. Takes 2 weeks to get an appointment they have so many cars waiting to get fixed. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I BUY ONE OF THESE PIECES OF ****. Also the Porsche is LIGHTYEARS ahead on quality. MB isnt even in the ballpark. You cant deny that.
lol....omg, your whining ***** voice, can I get that with all this? Dude, you sound like a Porsche salesman who couldn't sell that last Cayenne left over from 2010, lol and trying to make amends. I've got 116k on my ML and other than an airmatic compressor, everything has been standard maintenance. And I drive it like I raped it, tune and all. BTW, I owned a 911 TT so I've owned both brands, the Porsche was far from flawless from a mechanical $$$$$ standpoint. The key to any of these high end cars is an aftermarket warranty, so you don't eat anything unexpectedly.
Buy yourself a little 235M under maintenance plan and call it a day for a few years.

Nice choice! Exactly...I'm not missing filling up every 3 days either. So far I'm enjoying the ride

hahaha, that is certainly something i do not miss... having owned an RRS-SC, RR-SC, X5M among other gas guzzling vehicles i wound up seeing the gas station attendant more often than my own wife... this may be a refreshing change.

Now more than 60'000 miles in my modified w166 ml63 and everything is still Perfect !!
The only issue I had was the battery and a broken suspension ... Some dude cut me off and in order to avoid an accident I had to go over a pavement above 30mph :-(
The AMG runs extremely strong and Its truely an amazing car everyday!

I have 2015 Ml63, resonator delete and Renntech tune. I did about 10k on it already and no major issues. I had 2012 E63 before and had all kinds of issues with same set up but I guess sometimes you get bad luck on some cars. Everyone has differnent prefrences in what they are looking for and resonator delete makes the car louder and I really like it because instead of spending crazy cash on exhaust this was great and cheap investment. Just my 2c
Hi,
do you have more info on that resonator delete? pictures and what did you use? Thanks
