Considering my first

I'm considering a 2010 E63 w/ a stage 3 Weistec and Renntech trans w/ 40k miles. New to the E63 market and want to make sure I know what I'm getting into and not blinded by the power. Any suggestions, concerns etc I should be looking for?
Thanks,

only thing you need to look for is how to wipe that "grin" off your face every time you push that button.

seriously there is a ton of information here on the forum - you get a ton of info on the search tab up above.

having owned now 2 AMGs this community has always been willing to help diagnose and help you spend more money on your car

do it you won't be sorry - is that one of those cars in FL?

Yeah, I have been watching it for months finally getting to the point of going for it. I'm also considering a stock 2011 with the performance package.

I'm sure that if weistec built the car they took care of the head bolts.. definitely want to ask the question though. You will absolutely be amazed by the power. I was amazed just with the stock E63 N/A. I just did a resonator delete and the exhaust note is amazing. No drone, plenty of bark, and it can be quiet when just cruising in comfort mode (which never happens). I say go for it. But like CCB said, the M157 is a much better platform in the grand scheme of things.

I received all the right answers to my questions so I should be picking it up shortly. Head bolts were replaced with studs when they installed the Weistec. Can't wait.
