The e63 is a classier car for sure outside and in, which drove better for you?

E63...we're all biased here since we all had similar choices back then. Higher interior fit and finish inside. Just run the vin to make sure it doesn't have the headbolts problem.
BTW, how does the E63 still have 2 years of warranty left? It must have had a really late in-service date. Unless it's CPO+factory extended warranty.

Yes it did end. My 2011 was built late in 2010 and does not have the head bolt issue. Some early 2011 e63s have the head bolt problem.
issue affects all M156 engines, up to engine serial number 569xx 60 060658

So it sounds like I am safe from this issue. Thanks.
I do get a mild lifter tapping now and then though. Fairly weird has no logical pattern to it.

IMO the E63 has a much higher quality interior and better exhaust sound.

Replacement is not easy, I had two new Benz' replaced/refunded back to back without the use of attorneys... It requires a lot of patience, artful use of words, and the right type of problem and an advocate at your dealership. If you are missing anyone of these pieces then forget it.
