AMG or M
Just saw this on instagram. Never seen e63 lose traction like that..!! Cant wait to see time slips and roll races against the m5s they have tuned.

This is very true. Cant get anything higher than base e class from benz. Even if you bring an s63 amg for service.

Wasn't saying the treatment, though it depends on the dealer. Was referring to frequency of visits. BMW bread and butter are their inline 6. All of their 8's have some kind of problem.

Yeah I hear ya , I love BMWS but staying away from the f10 M5 , I was browsing around the forums and found there talking about members blowing engines and seen members making vids on regular oil changes and the oil has metal in to the point it looks like glitter, yikes, I dont like that

BMW dealers are garbage around here... one of the primary reasons I never bought another. Crowded as hell any time of the morning for service, lines of cars backed-up almost out into the street. Ask for a loaner and you'd get laughed at, no matter what you drove in with. But they do offer a shuttle to the local rental-car sharks that you need to wait an hour for...

I can't tell if he was sympathizing with me or just trolling. Maybe he can politely clarify.

This is simply not true for ALL dealerships... I drive a S63, and I get a S550 dropped off to me when MB picks up my 63 if it has an issue. Can't beat that.

the 840 awhp pureturbo setup up in ny/nj you are referring to went to track and seemed liked he couldnt get traction even with awd (so he didnt post results)... there is also a vid of him racing his buddy on instagram (buddy car is camero that runs 10.7/135) and the camero pulled on him... something i wouldnt of expected

there is also a guy down here that got a W4 kit installed a few weeks later he sold his car and bought a gtr... not exactly something one would do after dronpping 22K on turbo kit if they really liked the results....

Im still hoping on someone posting some good results
