Aggressive set up! Did you have to dial in some extra negative camber (specially at the back) in order to make this work? If so, did you use camber plates? Any rubbing?
Its amazing that I didn't add any camber all. The vehicle is lowered on kw has and endlinks. The tires will scrub in big dips but that doesn't bother me.

I am amazed you are not rubbing. A lil rub on big dips no a big deal. I too run BCForged and KW HAS. I am no where as aggressive as your set up though. Congrats! Looks good!

After looking for years for my unicorn, finally found her and took her home. CPO 2015 wagon, fully loaded with everything I believe...CCB, B+O, Distronic Plus, full carbon exterior and interior, carbon engine cover... Designo Magno Cashmere White, Designo Mystic Red. Brings a huge smile on my face
E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...

I will get you some more pix, but here is your quick answer....
All 212's are not the same. No matter what anyone tells you. I had a set of VFS 6 that I had on my previous E63 (which are for sale for those who are listening...) that should have been an easy fitment. Nope. My last car was a 13, this one is a 15. We ended up getting another set from Vossen in the 10x20 ET50, and as far as clearance, it's just right. But it doesn't make any sense. I would have thought that if anything didn't fit, it would have been the fronts (which worked like a champ). You probably have the ET 45 version, and that can get really close, or outside, on this car. Very strange. I do love your finish, which I wish I had now gotten. I think I'm going to order another set of Savini SV F4 for this car, as they can "drill and fill" everything in the USA at least. They made a set for my last CL63 which I would have sworn would never work, but did, just perfectly. (You may not have access to Savini in your part of the world, or it may be sold under another name).. Again, your car looks great....BTW, just realized you're in Houston, sorry...

Very simple answer -- your 2013 was pre-face lift and your 2015 is post-face lift. They have very different shaped rear body panels, so yes, fitment of wheels is different.
