New to me 2015 S63

I have been on the 2011 E550 train for the last eight years, so I am happy to have been able to upgrade to a 2015 S63. Fully packaged for the most part I believe (msrp was 163k brand new) and it has been a dream of mine to pick up this specific generation of S class. Sitting at about 65k miles with the mocha black exterior. Plan on retinting the windows, a res delete and the lowering module. Might stick with the stock 20's, kind of digging them at the moment. Cheers everyone!

Welcome to the W222 AMG club!! That's a beautiful car. I absolutely love the loof of black paint. However, I hope to never own ane again, too hard to keep clean. Looks like you might be a neighbor from the look of the trees in your pics, WA state. If you decide to move on to new wheels, let me know. I might be willing to buy your OEM wheels.

Thanks all!

I'm not too far from Seattle as well, right off the 405 down south. Keeping a black car clean will definitely be the "fun" part. I've only had it for two days now, but I look forward to driving it every time I see it.

I could tell by the trees. I'm up by the airport, kind of central in the Puget Sound. Your car looks amazing!! Let me know what you're thinking on the wheels, even if not now. I can easily wait until Spring, you know why...LOL

I'm extremely happy with my S63. I bought it with the dealer not having the massage seats working and it needing new brake pads. Had a nightmare of a situation at MB of Seattle for the massage seats, but bought some power stop pads from rock auto and had a indy put them in. I also did a resonator delete with the evm install which to me is perfection. I actually went for the preface lift generation coming from a 5.5L E550, wasn't a fan of the pops and bangs from the 4.0L but definitely wish I would have had the extra hp, front/rear diffusers and easier carplay capabilities. At the end of day, so happy with my 15. Good luck with your future purchase!

If this makes you feel better. You might not have as much horsepower but there is no replacement for displacement : )
