New Owner - W212 E63

Just picked up a particularly clean 2011 E63 and man, what a blast. Always loved these cars and figured it would make a great secondary daily as my commute is mainly highway. This car eats up the miles like nothing and at 43,000 miles it feels brand new!

Damn fine looking automobile you have there FraidKnot, could be my twin brother.
These 63 cars are such a blast to drive, I'm always looking for excuses to get her out on the road.

Another man of distinguished taste I see, Bahnstormer. How dark did you go on tint? It's not bad in N Florida now but definitely need to do that before too long

My car already had this tint when I purchased it last year in August, if I had to guess I'd say 20%.
Two upgrades I'd recommend you consider are clear sidemarkers with chrome amber bulbs and facelift taillights, both make a huge difference.

The amber corners were definitely on the list and I definitely dig the taillights too. Any recommendations for vendors?

The aftermarket taillights are Eagle Eyes brand from seller revotec on eBay, great quality and fitment.

Clear sidemarkers by fishcake321.

Chrome amber bulbs by seller 7hk5445.

On the performance side I added a Sprint Booster, Rest of World airboxes with AFE Pro Dry filters and an ECU tune by OE Tuning,
All highly recommended, car hauls ***.

Wow that looks great and the LOW miles for a 2012 car! That same year was my first AMG! I still have a Vorsteiner rear diffuser made out of CF from it too!
Those pics are nice and clear too

Your car is racking up the miles because to having too much fun! I'd be making up all kinds of excuses to wander around, milk, eggs yup that's the ticket.

Thanks for the replies. I've actually been using it as my daily for the last couple weeks. I'm torn as I enjoy driving it WAY more than my Escalade (which is currently my main DD) and am tempted to give the wife the Caddy so I can drive the AMG all the time but I do 20k miles a year and feel guilty putting so many miles on such a clean low mile example
