guess nobody noticed the gear shift went on at 7,600rpm and didn't encounter a rev limit.
I mean, I know the limiter is at 7200 RPM, but it seems like sometimes I hit it earlier sometimes later depending on gear and how fast it shifts after I click the shifter. But I did notice that you were going all the way into the red zone. What have you done to it?
Made another video where I share my ownership experience and cost of maintenance. E63 haters are gonna call it unreliable. But is it really? We're talking about 13 years old high performance car in the end of the day.
traction control kicked in. . but in manual shift mode my car is a lot faster than in sport mode. easily a 30hp difference. I can holeshot on street tires that are normal temperature versus whatever sport mode does.
This past weekend as I was heading to film another episode of my car, BMW E90 stops by me. He looked at me and signaled that he wanted to race. Of course I left him behind and watched him in my rear view mirror all the time. He then went on a ramp and I continued on my way. Then, a brand new 2020 BMW X6M passes me aggressively. The race started. I floored it and realized that I was in 4th gear in M mode and he took off. Man, did I regret about not being is Sport mode. I agree that M mode is more fun, but when you're unprepared S mode is the best for quick downshifts. I caught up with him and it was fun. I think X6M was very fast, I have to admit. We then waived at each other, smiled and continued on.
I really regretted at that day about not having my GoPro on. I kinda had a feeling that I had to turn it on when I left the house, but I didn't
E63 continues to shine on YouTube Still many more videos to go to give this car a proper coverage
I am talking about 5 things I like about the car. Towards the end of the video I am going for a ride through empty streets of beautiful Boston.
Just thought I'd chime in with some E63 love. I don't have one...I have a 2006 E55 which I bought here on MBWORLD almost 2 years ago. I had been searching for an E63 for quite a while and almost bought one with headbolts done etc but the owner was super flaky and wouldn't let me get a proper inspection. I always the kept door open for an E55 and I was so ready for a new AMG toy that I pounced on a 2006 Flint Gray Metallic with 76K on it. It was a great buy, great former owner, all records etc. I love the car, love how rarely I see another one on the road. But I still have this yearning for an E63. I know I have a car that's as fast, and is more reliable but there is something about the 63!

Finally an E55 owner who is not all negative about E63 I looked at three E55s before buying E63. Did E55s have folding rear seats? None of the ones I looked at had that option.
Lol, a big solid nope to that one. Even Mercedes disagrees with you, since they <NoxVidmateVLC went back to twin turbo motors. If you want an iconic naturally aspirated motor, look to the Tipo F140 C/CE V12 or the S70B56 V12. Those are iconic engines.

Been driving my new G55 a lot more lately as I am modding it and jst enjoying being back in a truck, but hopped in the E63 just to move it yesterday and was grinning ear to ear. May take it out for a drive tomorrow morning before I install the lift kit on the G just to wake the engine up a bit.
I don't blame you for loving the E63. Reliability aside, It's a nice car, and actually more refined than the E55. What happened back when was that many E55 owners traded up for the E63 when it came out, thinking it would be the next evolution of the 211 AMG line....just to find out the brute force power was gone. It felt slower, even though it wasn't ! The early 7 speed transmission had some teething problems as well. After a few software updates it was much better. Now today, the E55 is much more reliable with higher mileage and age, but a low mileage E63 sure drives a lot smoother. The E63 was less of an evolution and more of a sidestep to the 211 AMG lineup, and I don't mean that in a bad way.
I whole heartedly agree with your above statement.
My purpose when creating this thread WASN'T to compare E55 and E63. This thread is ABOUT E63. If you like E55s better — great. There are tons of threads and videos on YouTube about E55. Enjoy! But as always, some E55 owners turned this thread into a comparison thread.
I am making videos about E63. I hope we can make comments about E63 and relevant to the content of the videos.
Local viewer of the channel bought 2007 e63 AMG recently and brought it for the review. In this episode we compare my W211 E63 AMG with his E63 AMG. We rev it up (you'll hear lots of exhaust sound), take it out on a road, talk about driving, acceleration, and handling. We also give some practical maintenance advise on how to keep your AMG in a perfect condition — just like these two beasts. ~~Like, Subscribe, Share~
Thanks for the post. I like my E63. Test drove an E55 and wasn't impressed. Maybe the car didn't run right, I'm not sure. I couldn't decide on either car, since they both are great cars. But as soon as I saw my E63 sitting dirty at the dealer, I fell in love with its looks and had to get it before driving it. After test driving it, it pulls hard. After I bought it, I found out it had a tune. Lol I think the E63 W211 comfort, styling, and power for the money is one of the best value.

Now you have (2) AMGs in your stable. At one time, I also had (2) AMGs in the stable.
Having both engines as an active comparison point, I enjoy the refinement of the M156. Quad-Cam V8 with an ample mid-range and incredible top end.
Address the factory issues and enjoy.
I’d say the key word here is “address “ Don’t touch unless its showing symptoms. You might have seen my head bolt replacement video DIY on my channel. My bolts came out in a good shape. No issues with lifters or adjusters. I probably wasted money and time. But I got the peace of mind— thanks internet for exaggerating the issue

I'd place more value in that peace of mind you bought.
Carefully examined my original head bolts and lifters after the fact. Were they about to fail, no. But they weren't exactly brand new, either, and even mild/negligible (in the present) corrosion means it's already on the road to failure.
The problem is that if/when they do fail, we have very little margin of error before the damage goes beyond a head gasket.
At the end of the day, we can maintain things on our schedule or the vehicle's. I prefer the former over the latter, every time. Just my two cents.
