I drive my E63 hard and fast and it's been perfect. So now you have a sample size of 1.

Plenty of Canadian E55 and E63 owners can offer their opinions on extended warranties in Canada. Unfortunately the guy named Moosejaw can't bc he doesnt live in Canada anymore eh?
I dont think either car is more reliable than the other. One is definitely more faster than the other (open ended statement). Depends on how far you want to mod.

E63 are NA with less moving parts like the blower, so fewer parts to fail. I never had any major problem with my car yet..(Knocks on wood)

E63 faster than the E55, right? Stock for stock?

I'm genuinely asking as I don't know.

Its like walking around with a boner everyday, stiff..
I have to be extra careful when going up driveway or speed bumps. I miss the raised mode with the airmatic. This morning I drove to SEA TEC airport to drop off my sister..OMFG!! I felt every cracks and bumps on the road..the ride was so harsh on my car something going to break or fall off the car. Stay away from I-5!!

Sorry for the off topis OP.

I'd take I-5 HOV lanes over the Autoroute Ville Marie anyday. Seattle's highways are a masterpice in landscape/hardscape design. I love the mercer island tunnel.
Jess PM Hulk he can offer a first hand french canadian experience with this car.

I used to live in Montreal for 10 years I know the road condition very well. Airmatic suspension is the way to go. And the repair cost is much lower now compare to few years back. Supercharge will love the Qc winter cold air.

I moved to LA California 7 years ago. If you are close to Montreal, this guy is good and don't over charge. I still go back to Mtl every year to visit my parents. Try to find a 05 or 06 E55 mileage doesn't really matter. And with few mods, you will be surprised how fast this car can be. Simple Stage2 500Whp (pulley + header)

Take a look at that E63 internal engine issue going on in many cars before deciding.
