Since new I've been using a ctek and garaging the 63 during winter; always seems to start up fine in spring and I like that it doesn't see the harsh winter road chemicals
anyone else do the same?

I don't officially park it all winter. I have been driving my 2010 Tahoe, but it is terrible. When the roads clear I bust out the E63.

For the most part, my E63s is put away for the winter. I drive my "winter" AMG, the GL63, primarily during these months and the only thing that can stop it is a careless driver entering my space.

2018 GLC 43 & 2014 SLK 350, gone 2016 E63 Wagon
I had my 2016 E63 wagon for two winters and used it as a daily driver - never considered not driving it in winter. With a good set of winter tires, it never missed a beat. With winter driving you always need to look out for the other car but I never had a problem - the E63 always performed flawlessly. I now have a 2018 GLC43 with winter tires and so far it is great as well (although I miss the V8 sound).

I park it as well for the winter. Put a battery tender on it, park the tires on some cedar blocks (off cold concrete) and then put a car cover over it. As well, I toss in some moisture packs inside.

I tuck mine away - ish. Still take it out when the roads are clear and it's a little warmer, but I'd be surprised if I put on 50 miles / month in the winter. I have no doubt that on snow tires the car would be great, but other people are just idiots and it's like bumper cars around here so if I'm getting hit it won't be in my E.

I park and ctek mine but I'll pull it out on nice days in the winter to drive it around the neighborhood to keep the tires from getting a flat spot.

Mine is in bed whenever it rains. I don't drive it on messy roads, that's when I use my Yukon or wife's Highlander.
