Just traded my 2013 c63 to 2015 e63 with 7k miles

As the titles states, just purchased my e63. I ****ing love this car and the power band on it is truly insane like nothing I have ever experienced before. I am looking for some carbon fiber parts such as engine cover, spoiler, mirror covers etc. Really looking for OEM replacement only. Also want to know any concerns or issues anyone has had with these vehicles. Mine has 7k miles on it and is a 2015.

2015 E63S
Congrats to you! You'll enjoy it.
I just moved to a pre-owned 2015 E63S myself, just a month ago.
Previous I had a 2010 then 2012 C63 and the E63 is much more refined in every way, plus the added bonus of AWD to put the power to the ground. Makes a big difference. Also, as I get more 'mature' I appreciate some of the luxuries the E63 added such as the more comfortable ride etc..

My car came with the Carbon pack.
I may have a set of the Carbon side skirts for sale, the rocker panel inserts, if your interested?
Im in Canada and could ship to the USA.

Cheers.

Congrats! I've had mine new since 2014 and haven't had any serious issues ... planning on tuning soon

things to check:
- deterioration of air intake cloth pipes
- pano clicking or popping
- mct behavior
- did the lsd oil change happen?
- you'll want to replace fluids regardless of mileage simply based on the age of the vehicle (brake fluid)
- tire wear?

good luck it's a great long term car ... it's my dd and I have 28k miles and a 7/75k elw warranty

Yes the AWD is such a amazing difference in power, especially on the highway. I loved my c63 but this thing is a different kind of monster lol. So much more comfortable and more mature look like you said @van Rider, I am interested in the carbon fiber trim pieces as well if you can shoot me a DM lets work a deal.

@peter tubes, I see you located in Chicago so I am we should get together. I just purchased the vehicle from the dealer and they did a b service with brake fluid flush. I doubt they did the diff service because it only has 7k on it but I'm going to look into that.

Kevy3 - congrats on your ride! Show some pics!

I have a 15 E63S and bought it CPO from MB of Barrington IL with currently 27k miles on it (I get it serviced from MB Chicago Fletcher Jones as I live downtown 2 miles from them)..

I love mine its an amazing machine...been itching to get the AMS tune since they're local (West Chicago based) and their tune is nuts but not done that just yet.

You might want to check out the UPD air intake kit here that I have and many others do as well. Its fairly inexpensive for a nice 20-25 HP bump in power!

I also got a Xpel clear bra covering which I highly recommend to keep the front hood, sides, doors from getting those ugly dings and paint chips!

Perhaps a few of us Chicago owners do a meet up one of these days!

lsd oil was due for change at 1500-2000 miles

just make sure they did it; I go to naperville Benz

A Chicago meet would be cool - we can get some drinks -- let's do it after I'm tuned so guys can see the difference

@JVAKOS, thank you very much I love the vehicle words cannot express how much hahaha. Wow small world I actually work for Barrington motor werks Porsche. I am currently looking at getting a tune threw ams the alpha 7 package with downpipe, intake and dyno tune the price is just hefty right now as I just purchased this vehicle. Probably next summer I will install all that. I will also look into the brand you just referred me to as well! @PeterUbers wow I didn't know it was needed to be performed that early I will have to check with the dealer they did CPO it so I'm assuming they did but I will double check. Thanks for the heads up on that. We all need to definitely get together and meet up!

Kevy3 - no way, tell Scott at MW Barrington that I said hello... he sold me mine 2 years ago, super nice guy.

wonder if AMS would do a group buy if we identified enough interested E63 owners?? I havent talked to them for a year, but might be worth asking. I think PeterUbers is considering them (or already done their tune) and then you, plus me makes 3 and maybe a few more would be compelling for them to do a group buy (??)

Congrats! you'll love the E63. I too went from a C63 to a 16 E63S. (well I still have the C63 lol and enjoy both)

I find after market parts more expensive / harder to come by on this platform compared to the C63. Makes sense since less number and car cost more..

Interested to see what you'll be doing to this beast.. as I'm also looking for some CF parts as well.
