Just how reliable are they ???? do the 2012/2013 have ambient interior lighting //????? also is it true that all 2012 estate/wagon biturbo cars do not have the parking sensors from factory ???


Looking to purchase one of these cars instead of a house seriously,
you only live once

 

This is concerning....

 

Maybe it's a second house

 

Ya but a house has a loo and a shower

 

+1000. I'm with you buddy. House, family that live in the house should come first.

 

I'm more concerned about you guys wanted to have kids instead of owning one of these legendary cars.


my apt has a shower n all that stuff, hell theres a 211 63 and a ctsV in my building..... I have no responsibilities now and this is why I am thinking of pulling the trigger

 

Your right about only living once.

Regarding reliability. The Biturbo are fairly reliable with no engine or transmission issues that should be of concern, however do not buy one if it is not certified ( CPO ) or with ample amount of factory warranty left or extended warranty. There are issues like the headlights getting so hot, it burns a V mark on both side of the headlights and Mercedes is replacing them FOC during factory warranty period. If possible, do not get high mileage E63 and get the P30 Performance package.

2012/2013 does not have the ambient lighting unfortunately, but it does have parking sensors.

Good luck.

 

you're right, you only live once, go for it!


don't look back......unless there are flashing lights........then look back occasionally

 

Correction Hyperion. You have to constantly be looking behind you not just for flashing lights, but the cars that are trying to catch up. Lol.

 

thanks for the reply David,This one is a CPO car,very low mileage,and a P30 car ( wont buy anything else ).


Had no idea about the headlight issue!!! And I also found it funny my sales person told me the wagons didn't have it optional the parking sensors......


I kinda have a problem paying that money and not having the peace of mind of having parking sensors......

 

Lol gotta watch out for that red and blue with that heavy foot !

 

My pleasure. Your sales is probably new to Mercrdes of AMG. It's hard to think a AMG with its MSRP that doesn't come with parking sensors. I think even Honda has them.

CPO and P30 is the way to go. Remember to ask to see the service history of your interested AMG to see if there is any service history to raise a red flag. If they wouldn't show you, don't buy it. What color and options does the car come with?

Good luck. Your only single once. Lol.

 

My 2012 has ambient lighting...

 

Really. Is that part of the lighting package or would you mind sharing how to change the ambient setting. I tried it from the steering wheel, but nothing. Thanks in advance.

 

my cls has three colors too

 

Bro. Do you have the lighting package or something. Do you know if all 2012-2013 AMG E/CLS 63s have them and how do we change the color? Thanks much.

 

It's on the menu from the steering wheel.

 

still so jelly of the CLA that has 7 colors or something......might be more actually

 

Guys. Need your help. A member recently mentioned ambient interior lighting and if a 2012 AMG E63 had them. I though it didn't, but apparently some members said it did. I have search the setting on my steering wheel under lighting, but was only able to adjust the brightness of the interior lights from 5 to 1.




Does anyone know if the ambient interior lighting is an option in which the interior light can be changed to different colors or is this standard on the 2012-2013 AMG E63 or even the facelift E63?

If it is standard in which all AMG E63 has. Can anyone direct me to the right direction as I can't figure out how to change the ambient interior lighting colors.

Many thanks.

 

its iridium silver, 31 600 km odo, p30,int carbon pack,premium,advanced driving assistance
( its supposed to be fully fully loaded but I guess not without sensors )


I would figure it has ambient lighting,the 211 has it,but you cannot control it,I've seen photos of it under the trim and on the door cards lit up on the newer ones.


And good advice about the record,I didn't even think of that

 

Awesome. Does it have limited slip and B&O sounds?

Also, are planing any mods in the near future?

 

yes it has the diff,no b&o sound,aswell as recently the dealer took it as a promotion amg track event car

 

Cool. Be sure you get to take a look at full service record to ensure no major service was done to the car that should raise a red flag. Good luck.
