well, i had an 03 s55 with k2 package that i loved very much but it was a lease. so i put the car back to stock and turned it in. i had my name 1st on the list at my dealership to get the s63 when it was to come out, but removed my name and picked up a cls550 for my wife.
we loved the car but our son is 2 now and growing out of control. so we decided to move into this beauty. the car has everything except distronic plus

the car is simply stunning to look at. the piano black against the grey/dark grey is a perfect imo. the brakes as everyone has said, are the biggest brakes i have ever seen on car in my life. i havent had a chance to drive it a lot yet, but that WILL be taken care of very soon. here is also a pic of my old s55

It's a Beaut - almost like mine - use it well - I've got 12K on her already. It does have the 030 - you can tell by the piano laquer wood and the wheels.

In comparison to my prior '04 E55 this handles far better. It's got ABC the other did not. I was very (pleasantly) surprised. And at speed it's great https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

i havent gotten the chance to fully test the handling department. i had my s55 out at road atlanta once and that did very well for a family sedan. although, that car did have, k2,lsd, ic pump, and keeman lowering module. so hopefully, one day i'll get to do a comparison.

This handles better than an E55?!?! Im not saying your wrong, you know better than i do, but i never thought that was possible, i always thought of an s63 as a boat with a big engine. Congrats on the car, the brakes look magnificent.
