2004 S 55 AMG
2010 S 63 vs 2011 S 63

I'm trying to sell my '04 S 55 and upgrade to 2010 S63 or 2011 S63 Is anyone knows witch one is easier to upgrade with mods ? I know the biturbo is easier but they told me that the 2010 with the plane engine is easy too
Any thoughts ?

Colossal difference.
N/A 63 is lacking the torque needed in a heavy sedan like the S, TT has it in abundance.
A simple and inexpensive mod like ECU does nothing tangible in 2010 but a World of difference in turbo.
Had both and speak from personal experience, get the 2011 and never look back.

+1 on the biturbo. The engine is a torque monster and compliments the heavy s class perfectly.

I had a 2008 and loved it. Got a 2012 2 years ago and love it twice as much. Get the newest one you can barely afford is my motto. I get so many compliments on the look, feel and sound compared to my 2008, older body style. Best of luck to you. You're in for a WHOLE WORLD OF FUN!


Loves me some AMG



I hated this wooden wheel for 6+ months. Now I'm at peace with it.



I love these wheels like people love their pets
