2015 S63 Sedan 4Matic
2015 S63 Sedan 4Matic project
Got a 2015 S63 Sedan 4Matic with 50k miles. 2 pictures are from dealership. I'm getting the car back tomorrow, and will post pictures with changes so far. (emblems) I love the car so-far, with the only complaint being it doesn't have launch control and is slow to respond off-the-line. I'm going to try to rectify this with the Sprint Booster, as some users recommended that or similar products. If not, I might go as far as upgrading the transmission. Not that I expect a nearly 5000 lb. car to be 0-60 champ, but it can definitely do better. Will be blacking-out the car, as it has too much chrome. From the old
COMPLETE:
- Pirelli P-Zero tires
- Ordered glossy black emblems to replace chrome ones, Automotive Gem AG (eBay Seller). [rear] "S63", "///AMG", Mercedes star [side] "V8 BITURBO" (V8 in RED) [front] black Mercedes hood ornament, black grill Mercedes emblem.
- Ordered "leather" Black/Red Floormats, //AMG license plate holder, //AMG black valve caps
- Having Chicago Auto Pros do paint correction, ceramic coating, 15% tints, and installing the emblems. The emblems are all 2017+, so I decided to put "///AMG" on left and "S63" on right- to replicate the newer look.
- Installing , hoping it will remove the pedal-lag. If not, I might have to do https://renntechmercedes.com/index.php/products/mb/s/s-222/222-s63bt/mercedes-722-9-trans-software-upgrade-detail ($2480) -or- https://renntechmercedes.com/index.php/products/mb/s/s-222/222-s63bt/rt-722-9-detail ($3690)
- Order black glossy replacement grill
- Plastidip black: trim, rims
- Door entry lights, order 4x //AMG logo
- Video-in-motion hack: software or hardware?
- Rear-seat TV
- Mobile media-server solution, Based on a laptop, mobile hotspot device, portable harddrive, "prepared" (converted) media files, Chromecast, tablet to choose media - fed off Internet "hotspot" from my phone.
- Detecter / jammer
- Exhaust upgrade, sound focused
- RENNtech R2 Pkg - or components of it

I would suggest getting a ECU tune first for the turbo lag and launch issues the M157 engine is known for and from there, the TCU tune if you feel the lag is still there because the ECU tune will greatly increase the HP and TQ. ECU and downpipes will great increase performance and tone for the exhaust.
Good luck and enjoy your new ride.

Will post better pictures when I have em.
The ceramic coating got rained on a few days after application, and it looked TERRIBLE. Cleaned right up, and seems to be much more water repellent a few days later.
I think the black badges look incredible. The V8 in red is an interesting thing, although it's barely visible in that photo.
Started hearing a rattle in the car, pretty sure it's the exhaust. One of the tips seems to be mis-aligned too, but I think that pre-dates this. Hope to get all that sorted, and the exhaust tips carbon cleaned.
