W211 E63 (E55) or W219 CLS63 (CLS55) ?

Hi, I'm considering Changing or Adding a new AMG to my family. My little C36 is asking for a Big Sister.

Since I'm not a huge fan of 2 doors cars (the only one I would buy is the CLK 63 Black Serie that I felt in love with. but WAY to expensive for me and illegal in Canada)

So, I like mostly 4 doors cars. At the Beginning I was looking at the E55 W211 and the CLS55 but after looking at them a long time, (especially the E55) I wasn't sure about the look and there a little thing (maybe you would call this weird) but it's about the shifting paddles on the E55 and CLS55 in my opinion they look hard to reach since they're pretty small.

So after looking at the E63 and CLS63 I was more pleased with the look Sedan but agressive they give. The thing I wonder is if the cars are reliables ?? I heard about the 55 AMG ones that they were subjects of problems.

anyone have some experiences about the the W211 and W219 AMG series ? (E55, E63, CLS55 and CLS63)

Thank you guys !

Where in Canada are you? I am coming up to Barrie (just north of Toronto) next week to visit family, and will be bringing my E63 if you want to drive it. I absolutely love this car. We looked at the E55 and CLS, as well as the Audi S5, before getting this one, and I could not be happier. The car is a rocket ship!

unfortunatly, I'm living in a city near montreal, a little far from Toronto.

and I'm working every day until the 1st of January so I won't have time ahaha... I'd like to go try it to a dealer but since I always work.. I can't.. I'll try to figure something out.

Quite honestly, I do not think you can go wrong with any of them. They are all a blast. The only reason we ruled out the CLS was the stupid rear seats. The E55 and E63 at least allowed the middle seating position, which the CLS lacked. As far as reliability, it is just like any car. Records, records, records. See how the car was maintained and driven, because playing catch up on repairs is expensive.

the rear Axel and the Fiber carbon Bumper in the back isn't conform to the road specifications. Well.. it Apply to Québec, I don't know about the rest of Canada.

stay away from 63's cause they are slow and expensive to mod for little gains IMO. E55 is a great car but if i could go back i wouldnt mind giving up a little speed for a black cls55.... my .02
