Ultimate Guide to the w212 AMG E63 - Issues/Fixes/DIY
The Ultimate Guide to the w212 AMG E63
(MY 2012-2016)
I've been compiling and organizing the most commonly asked questions on this forum and requested DIY related to the w212 E63. This is also predominantly about the m157 engine and therefore may help you with other AMG platforms in a wider range of model(s) years(s). Also most of these discussions will apply to m278 engines. I'll keep updating this thread as we go along. Keep in mind that if you don't find an answer to your w212 non-amg question here, consider searching the w212 non-amg forum:
https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w212-109/
If you have questions about the m156 engine
(MY 2010-2011) you may gain more traction in the w204 amg section (C63) as it has the same engine and is an active forum:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204-93/
If you are in the market for a used w212 2012+ E63 or m157 based AMG this is a resource that may help you while shopping.
Thanks to the many forum members that contributed to or started these great discussions.

Nice, how much do you want to bet that some lazy poster looking to buy an E63 asks "what should I look out for before buying an E63?" before your posts leaves the fist page of the forum?

CPO issues
Hello guys I just became the owner of a W212 E63 AMG and had noticed a few issues within the first day...
First if I have what sounds like an exhaust rattle from the driver side when the car is warm.
Second the Tire Pressure monitor shows that 3/4 of my tires need air (I think because it needs more that 44
Third I am getting a malfunction Message for my suspension.
Can anyone chime in if they had similar issues?

2. Did all these things happen the day of delivery? It's cpo correct?
3. Your airmatic needs servicing - be glad you're under warranty!! Take it in, see the first post.
4. Driver's side rattle -- not sure ... can you hear it when you listen to the car when you're outside of it and listening to the underside of the car? Can you hear it in the engine bay when the hood is open?

1. What pressure do each tire have? You can reset the monitor to any pressure you set as the threshold

3.) My dads 2007 had several of these issues with the suspension its only the rears on this model correct? And yes thank god for warranty
4.) I can hear it with the hood closed but only after some spirited driving

there is a tsb for this
reset your tire pressures in the menu system and you'll be fine ... rapid drops in pressure also triggers Warning and this could be due simply to temp changes
im 42 all around

Peter hey. How’s your traction with ESP fully off using the 42 psi tire pressure on all four wheels? I was at 44 all around and dropped the tears to 36 and trying to determine if that’s improved reaction (with ESP fully off)

Anyone other than me have an issue with the front lower control arm press-fit bushing loosening up? It's actually loosened so as the arm slid forward, which is a bit unusual. No signs of impact either.

Just got mine replaced at 26k miles. Brought car in for new tires and complained that the steering wheel and gas pedal vibrate abnormally while driving on the smoothest of roads at 60-80mph and while stopped at a slight incline (such as leaving a parking lot). Vibrations were subtle but high in frequency, not normal idle engine feel. Thought it was engine or transmission mounts. They found bushing on left control arm had come out completely, replaced under ESLW and now back to normal.
