Here's the latest rendering of what she'll look like. Gonna make our bug eyed babies look dated pretty quick. Such is life.

honestly, i'm not digging the new E-class looks and much prefer the updated looks of my E63.

okay guys, thanks again for all your comments. I decided yesterday to pull the trigger on a new '08 E63. I like brand new and I plan on keeping it 6-7 years or so and I always take very good care of my cars. The only modification that I want to do to it would be a cold air box/performance filter system.

What would you guys recommend as the best simple to install system? Could you provide a web link of where to order?

Thanks for welcoming me to the AMG community.

Congrats man, you'll LOVE the car....

About the intake boxes, there is currently nothing on the market for our intake boxes, but you could always fabricate a custom setup

As for the filters, there are a couple of companies to choose from:

No doubt.A lease take over or short term E63 lease seems the way to go.
