New 2012 W212 E63 M157 Wagon owner

youtu.be/59ero2EcVNY






Hello,

i just got a new to me 2012 E63 wagon.

The car is a Japanese spec with only 17,000 kms (10k miles)

The car is an almost brand new condition, except the original owner was a smoker.

The car is an addition to my W211 E55 wagon, which is modified.
i

I previously owned a 2014 W212 E63 and a W213 E63. Sold both but always missed the M157. The W213 was much faster, but the character and noise of the M157 was just special...I just needed it in a wagon format. This is one of the early M157s and you can see it doesn't have the split intercooler tank.

I took them to install Pilot Super Sport.
the Michelin 4S was not available
During the test drive, it vibrated like hell. It was sitting for a year. Needs new fuel and spark plugs to get her power back

You should see my thread "Installed PS4S 295's on the rear" The reason they said they are unavailable is that they don't make the 285/30/19's. You can read about the debate on going with 295's in that thread.

Here is the thread:

Good Luck

Congrats on the wagon! Be on the look out for the MB fancy biodegradable coolant fittings, especially in the heat.

What’s the mods on the E55 wagon?
