2015 E63 AMG
New owner E63 owner today

Hi all,

New owner today, and my first AMG, it's a 2015 E63, in Magno Allanite Grey. It seems nicely specced, with 360 degree camera, dymanic massage seats, and heated/cooled. Otherwise the standard spec seems very generous. The weather in the UK is terrible here at the moment, looking forward for it being a bit dryer so I can get used to it (my last car had 320 HP so a bit of a step up!) I've had a short drive in it, and I'm in love with the sound already, even at low speed Here are some pics of it. In the future I may get a LSD fitted, and maybe a remap at a later date..

I love the color, congrats!
So over there, are they mostly just rwd?
All the facelift ones in the states are AWD of course. Having an LSD is not a huge deal. But if it was rear wheel drive, it's probably pretty crucial I would imagine.

Thank you Thrilled with it, really pleased with the colour in the sun

​​​​​​Yeah, they do seem to be mostly RWD. I think the later ones are 4 matic though.

I must admit, in the wet, I would have very much liked to have had an LSD..

Here's some better pictures of it in better light, also I've had a go at cleaning the Alacantara with a damp cloth, it could do with more, but I'm pleased with the results, there's a before and after shot.

Thank you! Really does seem to be, I must admit, I've not floored the throttle yet. I've just been enjoying that V8, even at low revs it sounds good. Yours looks fantastic, love it on those alloy wheels as well.

Sadly all the W212 E63's in the UK are RWD only.
Got to get the W213 if we want AWD

It looks terrific, except the steering wheel is on the wrong side. :-)

I had to pay curb rash damages on a rental car in England a few years ago because I kept going too far left to avoid the giant lorries coming at me on small lanes. It's a sore subject with me. And don't get me started on the roundabouts.
