Before I bought my 2015 E63s I test drove both 2015 and 2016 model and they both drove the same way and had the same awesome pops when downshifting. No difference there.
Only difference between the two is 2016 has a slight updated Center console and that’s it.

Lots of mixed infos here.
first, depending on where you are, and where the car was originally sold, lots of options will differ.
Fyi, this is for US spec.
2015 - added auto folding mirror, amg logo on front grill, and window trims are now also black, when night package is added.

A little off topic, but have you ever considered what would happen to your warranty if your car broke down and had to be towed in such that you were unable to remove the sprint booster from the pedal?
having had this situation, towed in, twice in the last 5 months, I would be worried they would see it and void warranty.
Just wondering.
Thanks

Hey Peter,

you are the poster child for surviving a tune and a major warranty claim!! I think the sprintbooster is small fries compared to a tune
looking forward to your impressions of the 2015!!

I recently sold my E63 Wagon but have an opportunity to purchase a heavily optioned '16 E63 Wagon original MSRP of $128k or a '16 ML63 Designo with every option except rear seat entertainment.
I see a few minor things changed but outside of the burbles on WOT and folding mirrors... Any significant changes for the E63 from '14? Would you do the Wagon again or go for the ML63?

The price difference is negligible and not the deciding factor... curious more if this vehicle is worth doing a "double" for or try something new.
If the '16 is essentially identical to the '14 is it a waste to revisit?

The 18' Benz wagon is really the only other option!

Unfortunately in my area they're going for MSRP+ and they're not discounting in stock units but more important is the fact that I don't keep my cars long enough to pay over MSRP and I dont love the new E63 enough to take the $35k+ hit when I go to sell it come winter.

Loved my 2014 E63 but the trans was definitely the weak point of the entire car. The jerkiness and twitchy throttle around town was bad, even after the updated software. Otherwise a trouble free and great car, Stage 2 catless downpipes and EC tuned made it a straight monster.

Any chance you can disable the split screen directions on the navigation for 2016+ models or is it permanent as on the previous 2014 models?

What exactly does one request? I have a '16 and do not have the burbles and pops in s+ or manual mode.

OLD thread but wanted to ask on this with Comand. How much of a difference is there from 2014 command to a 2016 comand on an e63s?
I have like NTG2.5 on our 09' w211 so ANYTHING is going to be nice upgrade but just wondering how much of a difference people see/notice/like from 2014 to a 2016?
Thanks,

ahhh….. Does that ALSO mean Android Auto? I ask that question ONLY because I've been Android all my life and with that being said my wife has an iPhone. Just like her Lexus it has Carplay. Very nice feature. If 2016 also does android auto that is a rather large thing. If it doesn't that's not a big deal to me then. But, I'm wondering if a 2016 is the better way to go in terms of an e63s over a 2014?
Appreciate the info on Carplay!

For me the diffirence between the older and newer version of Command makes the car feel a lot younger, Others will disagree. In the end - take your tie and get the best car you can get for your money, always do a PPI, and if you can get one that is certified (with warranty) go for it.

Yes, there is a thread here that talk about it. Worth noting that I personally have used (and are suing) both Apple and Android devices in the car. You just have to switch between them when you pug in one or the pother (and use different cables of course). Many of us have use a module from a guy named Vlad that turns on both of them. He's the same guy that also can help you turn off ECO button and enable the full LED light functionality.
