2016 E63S Wagon Ordered

Went in to my local MB dealer and ordered an E63S wagon January 31. Salesman indicated that they had an allocation that was changeable so we could configure it the way we wanted. Jumped at the opportunity and he indicated that it will be 2016 MY. He has confirmed a production date of March 11th with a delivery date of April 25th. No pricing on it yet.

We ordered Diamond White with Silk Beige interior, Dark Ash trim, Intelligent Drive Package and Avantegarde Edition Package (previous Premium Package?).

Can hardly wait! It will go well with our 2014 SLK 350 Diamond White Bengal Red interior.

Awesome car!
I drove the E63S sedan last year at a MB event at Lime rock, perfect car imo.
Does the new wagon have a jump seat in the back? They used to...
The new wagon is the only car that I feel could replace my r63.

Jump seat is only available in the E400 wagon - not in the AMG version. Drove an E63S sedan and was really impressed (hard to believe the power). We also drove an E63 wagon (non "S") and could certainly tell the difference in the engine size. Replacing my GLK with the wagon - sedan does not have enough space for our needs.

The stock power of the 63s is ridiculous

The nannies keep me alive half the time... I forget how potent the engine is

Where are you located? I'm guessing it isn't the US as I thought all E63 Wagons were S-models. I also thought the engines were the same, but the non S-models were detuned.

You are correct I am located in Canada (Thornhill Ontario). Prior to the 2015 model year I believe that the AMG wagons were available as E63 and E63S versions. The wagon we tested was a 2014 or 2013 model (I wanted to be able to see what the wagon is like and that model was all that the dealer could provide). For the 2015 and beyond AMG wagons are only available in the E63S version. I was really only interested in the 577 hp model

That is correct. When our salesman tried to change the configuration of the allocated car and it came up as a 2016 model and not 2015 (that was not available in the order system). He indicated we will get one of the first 2016's in Canada. Hopefully the delivery date won't change.

I hear there's a constraint issue with 360 camera on the 2016 E and CLS cars and that it won't be available. Did you spec this option? If you did, I'd have the dealer double check to make sure you can get this.

I have already seen issues on my 14MY 360 camera, need to get it checked by dealer. Any idea why 15MY has such a short life?

I ocasionnally get a glitch and then blank screen in 360 camera while backing out of my driveway. Seems like it's a bad connection or something. Happens about once every 2 weeks, randomly... will mention it at next service. Goes with the stop-start that works on it's own schedule!

Here is the official BlackSeries answer regarding the short MY15 I got from AMG.
From the AMG PL chat session on 1/28

"Any particular marketing reason for such a short MY15 production year?"

No reason other than the factory sometimes will stagger the launch of different models to better manage production capacities.

I own a 2013 GLK and a 2015 Wagon and agree that the GLK image is much better. I wonder if the 2016 360* camera delays are related to a new surround camera system.

We ordered Diamond White with Silk Beige interior, Dark Ash trim, Intelligent Drive Package and Avantegarde Edition Package (previous Premium Package?).

Can hardly wait! It will go well with our 2014 SLK 350 Diamond White Bengal Red interior.

What else is included in the "Avantgarde" package. I assume this is a Canada only thing?

I have not checked again with my salesman but option "501 - 360 degrees rear view camera" was on the list that we went through when I ordered the wagon. It is also on the technical details listing that he sent to me after he confirmed my order.

I believe that the "premium package" has been renamed the avantgard edition. Not sure if this is only in Canada. From the technical details on my order it includes: rear door roller blinds, climate comfort front seats, drive dynamic multi contour driver seat, 360 degree rear camera, hands free access, heated Rear seats and keyless go.

Tylbran did you get an update on production of your ride yet?

Lenin/Tylbran -- here in NY i've had lots of trouble getting clear commitments from dealers with respect to production dates for MY 2016 e63. Dealer1 claims production begins in June and he can get me a car by July (seems fast), Dealer2 said orders are currently taken into cue but pricing isn't finalized and production date isn't set, Dealer 3 said 2016s are already in production. Any better info?
