Hey guys, aside from the interior and exterior look upgrades, what other changes were made to the E63 since 2010? I want to know the differences before I begin car shopping. Thanks!

lol this is rich... In a nut shell? An entirely different car from engine-hp/tq/trans/AWD option/Brakes/gearing/thru the interior/exterior is just the tip of the iceberg etc etc etc The 2014 is a completely different car...

Ah thanks, was not aware it had a new engine.

Biggest difference in my opinion is the engine. 2010 = 6.2L Nat. Aspirated; 2014 =5.5L twin turbo.

The changes are most notable with the 6.3 NA vs the 5.5 biTurbo, transmission And interior. If you did some research on this forum, you'll find people are concern about the various engine issues with the 6.3 NA.

Hope this helps.

^ No engine issues. The M156 is a monster and a blast to drive. Easy best sounding car on the road today. Imagine just a big huge American muscle car engine but built in Germany by a bunch of very precise guys.

Get a warranty in case you do experience a problem. Also the 6.3 version is about $20K cheaper.

What Transmission change? They all have the 7 speed MCT I believe.

2011 doesn't have the head bolt issue for the most part.

They majorly reinforced the the Tranns on the Biturbo V8's to handle all the extra torque, + software changes in TCU etc etc it's literally an entirely different car..

Also, if you are in the USA then the 2010 is rwd only and the 2104 is only available in 4Matic. 2014 has received numerous upgrades since 2010 but it is not "literally an entirely different car."

Hmmm dif exterior/headlights/every body line & panel, dif engine/tranny/wheel style/AWD/interior etc etc I even believe the chassis has been changed/lightened.. What's left

I think the star on the trunk is still the same .

PeterUbers

Floormats are the same!! Boom.

Thericker

lololol & I guess if you wanna get technical it still comes w/4 tail pipe openings..

I guess you use the word "change" I use the word "modified"
The only major spec that was changed was the engine.
It's the same tranny, chassis, interior, exterior. Awd was added as an option, and not a "change"
If that makes it a "Different car" for you then great!

I just wouldn't say that it is "literally" an all new car... Because it literally isn't.

Difference of opinion I guess.

Can't speculate the difference between the 2011 and 2014. But here is an overview between 2011 and 2012. There is no mentioned of the interior and exterior, but those who know. It'll start with the steering-wheel.

Hey Guys,

Getting my roof wrap as we speak. I'm getting the wrap done in gloss black although the owner said my toy would look more aggressive with the CF wrap.

This guy ( Scott Kim ) is located in Cerritos, Ca. Very cool guy and does dealer tints for top exotics such as Lamborghini.

Advance Auto Engineering does window tint, viny wrap and clear bra and use 3M. The most notable brand in the adhesive industry.

Here is a preview of my car during the prep of the wrap.
























































































I have had Scott done my E350 tint a year ago and now the new toy with the tint and roof wrap. I will post after pics when they are done.

For those interested. Scott will do the roof wrap in gloss black for $325 and full tint for $210 for MB forum members.
