2012 E63 Bi Turbo
Jumped ship

I have recently jumped ship from 04 E55 to 2011 E63 Bi Turbo.

What a transition, both are great cars but with the Performance Package the E63 is a mean passing machine. Power is nice and smooth compared to the brute force of the E55 (Stage 1 E/C tune).

Anyone else made the same change?

2012 E63 Bi Turbo
This is a late 2011 out of the UK. Probably the early release 2012. It has almost every option available and was owned by MB UK. I have driven 2k in the last few days and have already forgotten my dear old E55.

I went from an E55 to E63 NA and I don't miss the E55 at all.
