Questions for you S63 guys

What drew you to the car?

Could not a S550 be tuned for similar performance?

All comments welcome and thanks.

Update. Nevermind. I just read a Motor Trend review. I get it.

For me, I came across a nice deal and initially wasn’t interested in tuning (which I ended up doing anyway).

In retrospect, although I do enjoy and love the 63, at this point of my life with a 1yr old and planning on another I would have probably gone w/ s550/560 since the family would like the ride comfort vs the 63, plus saving 10k+ is always nice. Tuning is readily available for the 550/560 and stock it already is no slouch.

Benz Ninja can now program the comfort mode in the S63 to be like comfort mode in the S560. I may do this as comfort mode in my S63 is now like Sport mode in the S560. I do miss the floating ride of my old S550. This may make the S63 perfect if I can go from super sporty to super plush with the push of a button.

@superpop Thanks for the heads up! That’s good to know, I got some work done with the ninja a while back, opted in for his membership and sourced all of the equipment. I’ll touch base with him and get that coded, the s63 is nice and all as is but when the kiddo gets jolted awake and cries, I question my decision to go 63.
