E63s AMG
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.

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.
This is a cool detail to know!

Hey Peter,

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

my dealer knows I have it and told me quite frankly it won't affect the warranty; it's always on my mind but for something as simple as the sprint booster I have little concern they'll deny a major warranty claim if the engine problem is from something like what you had happen to Eva

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!!

Exclamation

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?

Spend the extra money and buy the wagon. No brainer. And I have two big SUVs and a wagon. It's the best of both worlds.

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.

No complaints or issues with mine either. Only time it went in for service was oil and auxiliary battery.

Did the tune help get rid of the twitchy throttle?

Sounds like my wagon I'm selling. Black?

No, it is not. I am done with black cars for a bit. I forgot how much attention they needed when used as a daily driver.

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?

You can do same on your 14' E63. If you ask a dealer to update Software of your ECU + fuel injection system.
16' E63 has new comand with few more features and new keyboard on it.
That is it.
When I spoke with the dealership and requested an overrun tune and the addition of these sounds they had no idea what I was referring to.
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,
-Nigel

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!

Yes, there is a thread here that talk about it. Worth noting that I personally have used (and currently use) 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.
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.

Thank you, I really appreciate the clarification. Android auto would definitely be nice honestly. I think I found the one I like because of the interior and options spec'ed but it's the 2014. Almost all interiors are all black and the one I found is the design white interior which I really like. We have no kids and our dogs won't be in this car so that's why I am thinking white is the nicest looking..lol I have read several threads about Vlad and his OBD modules to unlock features. I was actually trying to find more information out about if our headlights were the true matrix led (84 I think?) or if it was just LED headlights and not the matrix style? I keep reading that the headlights on the 14-16" are full LED but more of the technology of when the 2010 CLS came out (not 100% full matrix led) ... not sure though so I'm trying to find it out. I do agree with you though since we are interacting with the infotainment system having just a little bit newer would make the car feel newer. I don't care about having nav cause I use my phone but piping what is on my phone to the car's screen would be nice. I've seen other posts where people put in an android unit that the screen is much larger. *On the fence about that though.

Thanks,
-Nigel
