How does it feel? pre-facelift and post facelift E63 W212
Hello. I drives a 2005 E500 (bought second hand).My friend had a Sensonic Brake failure. Since then, I always worry about it. That discounted my otherwise excellent Mercedes Benz experience. I would be delighted, if I don't have the sensonic brakes to worry about.
I plan on the W212 E63 for my next car. In Hong Kong, the pre-facelift is much cheaper than the post facelift current E63. I realise that post facelift W212 is faster for 0-100km/h than pre-facelift. How does it feel on public roads? Does it feel very different? You know, sometimes, at the high end, differences can be small and not easily noticeable. Any things to watch out for in the E63 W212? (like the sensonic brakes in my E500)
Thank you for sharing your experience on the subjective differences in the pre- facelift and post facelift E63 W212.

Hey, I am commenting from a Preface ( 2012 ) stand point. Lived in China, Taiwan for more than 15 years and know HK well. The money you paid there is like 80-90% more than market price here in the U.S. Unless you like the facelift look, get the preface AMG PP ( Perforamnce Package ) and the money you save. You can upgrade the brakes, but never heard of anything bad about the brakes. Hope this was useful and good luck.
