Looking at a Wagon

Love the wagons, considering getting back into one, Just got out of my 2009 5 series BMW, previous had 2004 E Class.

Looking at the AMG model. This would be my first AMG. A basic "stripped" AMG is a bit under $95K vs $68K for a E350 estate with P1 & P2. I like the idea of a more unique car with certainly more power...

Question for all you AMG guys...Is the performance package really worth it? I do not want red calipers, CF engine cover of AMG steering wheel...

Can I get a tune, if need be, that would be comparable to the increased AMG software for less money? Does it void warranty?

Basically looking for a sleeper car that can eat most things on the road. Not planning to track it. ever. Needing to make a decision in the next few weeks. Any thoughts or comments would be helpful...

Hope to back in the MB family soon

Are you talking about a w212 E63? I think you may have accidentally posted this in the wrong section?

White wagon- They arent as all red calipers etc. They can be Very understated. Just shop the member pictures, and get a factory warranty with factory engineered horsepower. see my ad!
