What year E55? say stay with a wagon. they are wicked!! If your E55 is old and it is time for a change, then go for the E63. If you are just drooling, stop. Especially, if your E55 is loaded, the E63 is just not as lush OR as fast, so why "upgrade"?
Before people want to start the E63/E55 arguments now that i have thrown lush out there, be sure to begin your attack on me with an explanation of how much you love the E63 seats as compared to the E55 Dynamic seats.

Assuming a sticker of about $85K, not many options at all.

I can't believe there are still sales managers stupid enough to order cars this way.
Looks hot as hell, but with no options, I wouldn't even consider it. Been there, done that, and wasted too much money retrofitting simple options.

I drive a E55T, SLK55 and 65 Mustang Conv.
I'll tell you the truth Wolf and I had considered getting the new 63 wagon and it is a beautiful car but I just don't see it being an upgrade over the 55.

Before I bought mine, i've seen a metallic beige C32 being traded from one dealer to another because it had zero options. No CD and no xenon. The guy was willing to sell it at anything reasonable.

People who buy AMG cars usually don't skimp out on options just to save a grand or two. They are already paying a hefty premium for the performance upgrade.
