There are 2 factors here:

1) E55 onwers have always been very centered around their car and not so open to others on the road. I have an E55 but I want anE63 FYI.

Owners of E55's seem to take things very personally when it comes to their cars for some reason or another. So many battles have broken out about E55 vs M5 VS RS6 that its almost a joke. People just take things to personally. ITs a car. WHOO HOO

2) People who like the E55 are dragsters and people who want earth turning t q at idle. People who want a smoother, more refined car that is capable of keeping up with other sports sedans when the road turns will go for an E63. I am in the latter group as drag's never have been my thing. I never plan to buy motor mods for my 55k's so a 63 is a better fit for me.

I have an E55 and I have been trying to tweek it to drive better for a while. Ride height helps a bit but then you run into issue with risking shock damage and premature failure or wear. I also re-alligned the car to have a ton of negative camber, more caster, and less toe. I must say the car now has some serious front grip but my tires are wearing out on the inside faster than I have ever seen before. If I only tracked the car it would be fine but I also use it for freeway driving. Im just having trouble dealing with tires going adios in 5k miles just to have the car not plow around every on-ramp in town.

Its all a trade off and I just like the E63 more. If you like the E55 great! Both are nice cars.

PS that chirping blower and very unsmooth throttle uptake is getting annoying I think. I might try the new revised clutch to see if that helps at all.

 

Wow, nice post! It is nice to see people on this board with open, non aggressive minds!

Welcome to my ignore list!

 

This exchange forces me to make 2 comments:

1. Ted, you are one hell of a good occupation guesser to deduce pterion's profession from his posting. You need to go on "Whats My Line"!

2. While I have not always found doctors to possess common sense, I think its accurate to state that neurosurgeons and "ignorant morons" comprise mutually exclusive groups. Those arguing otherwise probably enjoy membership in one of these two groups. Again, I point no fingers.

 

...........Well said, but I didn't guess his occupation by his posts. I knew it by his screen name. I'll let him explain it.

So we can say you are an E55 owner that has seen the E63 and thinks it sucks. So if you cancelled the order and maybe took a a couple test drives in it, how do you know you don't like it? I'm sure you'll write some sort of degrading comment because I owned a CLK. I can add fuel to your fire...I currently drive a pacifica and from my experience with it I can say, I hate the E63 as well. Too much power/luxury for me.

 

What I have learned from this post...

1) Marcus has some nice cars available.

2) Pterion drives a fantastic vehicle. I considered waiting for a similar blk/blk E63, but decided to put the money toward a new house instead and got an E350. I might trade next year.

3) Deaguero needs a drink. Well...only if he's of legal age, that is.


That's all. Everyone enjoy the holiday weekend.

 

I agree,not called for at all.

 

bm75204: I am of legal age so I'll tip one to all on this post. even pterion! everybody enjoy the Holiday weekend

 

I have used that screen name for years on different forums and noone has ever shown any idea that they knew what it means.

Nice pick up.
