After 2 E55's and a 2011 E63 it was time for something new

2014 E63 S

Love love love the car!!! Previous owner was an older gentleman with superb taste in cars who decided the new S class better suited his needs. Car was purchased with a shade over a 1000 miles on the clock, from 101 Motors in Tempe, AZ.

Car is a huge non linear leap in performance from my beloved 2011 E63. Ridiculous acceleration throughout the massive torque band make it near impossible to not be constantly smiling when behind the wheel. Bravo Zulu AMG...well done!

Car is Iridium Silver, Black leather, Black Ash with Driver Assistance Package, 19" Twin 5 Spokes, Rear Window and Side Shades, Parking Assist and Pano Roof. Installed Bel STIR+ with quad LI's, Prestige Spectra PhotoSync film and XPEL Clear Bra.

Tony Tran, the owner of 101 Motors, redefines outstanding customer service.
Truly the lowest pressure, most straight forward auto purchase I've ever made.

Looking for lowering options. Thinking the Renntech package may be the way to go. Thoughts?

Yes that is a nice color and contrast well with the red brake calipers, I love mine. The car is a torque monster for sure, loads of fun to drive, the tt 5.5 is amazing. Best car I've ever owned.

2014 E63S
Huge thank you to all!!! I absolutely could not be any happier with this purchase. Picked up the car from tint shop yesterday and the cold start really surprised me, actually far more aggressive than what I was accustomed to with my 2011. A spirited drive home followed by several trips to the garage to visit the newest family member confirmed that my latest purchase is a total winner. I was all over the board on my 2011's replacement with the finalists being the E63 S, M5 Competition and the GTR. Loved all 3 but the 2014 AMG was the clear choice.

Contacted Goodspeed yesterday about Renntech mods and calling Tony at 101 about Kleeman programming. Want to tighten up throttle response a bit. Lowering presents issues. Used Renntech lowering module on the 55's for a perfect drop. The Renntech front springs on the 212 lowering kit are just a little too aggressive for my taste. I'd like to lower it bit but not quite 75mm, thinking around 25 to 40mm. I lowered my previous 3 911's with Bilstein adjustable coilovers for slight drop and reduced roll. Has anyone gone the coilover route on the 2014's?

Thanks will look into H&R options!

If the renntech and H&R are to low in front (I don't blMe u, it is pretty low...)

Try KW H.A.S springs it has an adjust cake perch and u can dial in the height I believe from 0.7-1.2 inch drop...

The H&R claims a 0.75" drop..but I think it's more

Renntech's kit comes with adjustable perch for the springs also, .75- 1.30. http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/1107

What do you mean? Front gets new lowering coils(h&r set at one height or renntech has adjustability), rear either gets a module that connects to your computer(renntech) to lower via your laptop(adjustable), or you can use links to lower the rear air ride. Is that what you meant?

So the airmatic still works? That's what I meant... I didn't realize the car has springs and the airmatic bladders in stock configuration
