2012 E63
Hi, Im looking into buying an E63. Ive seen one without the performance pack and lsd. Although it has a suede/alcantara steering wheel. Apart from that its fully loaded.
I can always put an lsd and tune on the car afterwards, which I plan to do.
Apart from that, what will I be missing or need?
Anything to lookout for?
Also what is the difference between the 2012 and 2013+ E63 engine wise? Do they both end up with the same figures in the end?
Thanks.

2013's are pretty much the same, 2014's with the PP now called the S model is a little more HP, not too much, like an extra 27hp or so, I guess they must get that with the tune. Hopefully you are getting a good price on the car as I can imagine to switch over the rear end to limited slip will not be cheap and with the Tune your gonna need it. Once you Tune the car there is no difference from a PP (after the PP is tuned) to the one your looking at in power, the engines are the same, just different turbo boost levels. You are gonna like the car. They are not the greatest investments as they sink in value pretty quickly, but they are a good solid car that is a joy to drive.

Is that a Sedan or Wagon, if it's a Wagon that is a great deal, if a Sedan that's a good deal. Is it a Power Pack model and what equipment does it have? If it's a loaded Sedan I'd think it would sell quick at that price, if a Wagon, it's probably sold already, lol. I paid 75K for my Wagon with 12K miles on it 1.5 years ago, I hate to think I'm down 20 grand in value already, but I guess it's possible the way these cars depreciate.

AMG should have LSD as standard equipment
What BS we have to spend tons of $ and not have an LSM.
BMWs come with it why not AMG.. Suck BS.
I am really thinking of going to an M6 and not a E63S.
I did an LSD swap myself about 1g with at the end.. Lots of beers BBQ...lol

ACE..I was speaking of AMG's in general
All AMG's should have an LSD as standard equipment. It's a performance car with out an LSD. A LSD is a critical part for enhance performance.
At 100K plus for these car something like an LSD should be standard on all AMGs is what I am saying.

The base model, which is lacking the LSD, is well below $100K.
But personally, I think it's pointless to offer the base model in the first place.
But if we're comparing E63 to BMW, isn't it silly for BMW not to offer AWD?

I am sure BMW will since mercedes/Audi has it.
We are getting off.. YES... the base is a waste of time, agree. I think all AMGs should come with LSD..AMG means performance.

Couldn't agree anymore. Any car with a package like an AMG should have LSD standard.
CTS-V's, M's, Z06's, SRT's, Shelby's, ect. All come with LSD.
