Definitely want that trunk lid spoiler on mine. However, not a real fan of the front though. I guess I can skip over the 63 and wait for the W212 or jump on to a new R230 like Marcus Frost.

 

I believe the next generation E-Class, the W212 E63 will get the Bi-Turbo
M157 V8. Hp should be in the neighborhood of 550 or better.

 

Car does have very subtle changes and I like it. As mentioned before, I will stick with the 55 motor because getting more hp is going to be alot easier with the F/I then N/A...

 

Yumm, yumm....

I guess that it'll be E63T's for me instead of E55T's.....

 

I wait for the 6.3 TT then for sure ...

More images of the E63.

 

Look's like they went back to the older style center arm rest console which should be more comfortable but doesn't look as good as the wood door.

I don't like the black backed gauges.

I do like the new front air dam but it's not that much different

I like the current AMG rims better and I prefer the current tail lights.

 

Notice the louvers (lines) on the upper headlamps? I hope the US Wagon gets privacy glass tint. What are the OEM wheel and tire sizes?

 

I like it, think it looks hot. The dash is a nice change.

 

Found it:

"The 8.5 and 9.0-inch wide, titanium grey, high-sheen 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a new five-spoke design are fitted with wide-base tyres in size 245/40 and 265/35."

 

New mirrors too.. neither here nor there for me.

Are they folding mirrors?

 

Can we get that trunk lid spoiler yet? would it fit the W211 55?

 

I want the paddle shifters! They look like the same ones on the CLK DTM car.

 

The center console is only for rest of the world productions of the E63. The E63 that're coming to the US will still get the "bottle holder" style arm rest. If they don't come in that style, I can't sell you mine, coz I just had it swap out for the old style one, which in my opinion, actually works.

 

hey how much lighter is 6.3 engine then the current 5.5 ?

 

The M156 DOHC 6.2liter V8 used in the E63 is 55lbs lighter than the SOHC Kompressor V8 in the E55. This engine is about 90lbs lighter than the V-10 engine used in the M5!

Look like the E63 AMG is still using Airmatic but thay improved it to AirmaticDC. I wonder why MB gave the CLK63 ABC and not The E63!

 

NO LSD

 

I like the looks of the new E63, but I think the differences are not significant. I like the front grill & ofg lights, but it's not a big differnce. I like the both wheels. I am curious about the handling difference, as I think the E55 drives beautifully. I guess the point of this car is to make the track performance comparable to the M5...I think BWMs handle better around turns, but I like MBs better straight away.

 

****, no LSD? Okay then, I take back the things I said earlier. This car is going to be a piece of crap.

 

 

I was hoping for OEM 19's like the CLS55 or at least a 275 in the rear. I hope those sizes are errors.

 

All I have to say is that the E63 is one serious and mean looking car, regardless if it doens't have LSD or ABC, I am sure the techs at the AMG power plant want to keep the reputation of this AMG beast, something must be better than the current E55. Until we don't drive it and hear the testimonies of people that will own it I don't want to make assumptions. But damn that car looks HOT!
