RE: "New" E63

Congrats and welcome aboard. Silver E63's rock.

I'll have owned mine 2 years as of tomorrow; still as smitten with it as the day I bought it. Best all round Benz I've owned, and I've owned several, it just does everything well.

Enjoy it.

No, the CPO is not valid in Canada. It has a year of Original Warranty left though.

I know I've had it a week and all I've had the chance to do it is tint!!! The shame!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Rather than flood the forum with a bunch of newb threads. maybe you can answer a few tech ?'s for me...

Driveline vibration, Harsh upshift to 3rd,

1) Guys not sure if this is a "normal" condidtion or not. When I load up the car ( foot on brake and 12-1300 rpm in gear) is has a vibration. not a misfire. Definite vibration. Any suggestions? TSBs?

2) I get that with a 7 speed transmission it's gonna shift a lot. But the trans seems "lost" sometimes and does wierd things... No warning lamps or messages definite hard / delayed upshift ( even in comfort mode) to third.

I am 200 miles across the border to the closest dealer. Don't want to waste thier or my time.

TIA
