Huddleston's E63s Wagon Build

After being a Porsche guy I somehow ended up with an all AMG garage after the last few months. In June I purchased an AMG GT as a replacement for my 911, and just a few weeks later I ended up finding a one owner 2015 E63s wagon with 44k miles. I have always wanted an E63 wagon but always managed to find a reason to not buy ones I had come across over the years due to mileage, condition, or other factors. I sold my Cayenne GTS and and completed this purchase and could not be happier. I do have three small daughters and needed something that could handle daily driving and dad duty as well as be used as a staff/support vehicle on Express Rally events, a business I own that organizes weekend road rallies and track events for drivers of exotic and high end sports cars primarily in Southern states, but also on the West coast and in the Pacific Northwest.

This thread will include photos of the cars modification journey and photos from various events with the car. I will continue to update this post with the most recent photos of the car and following posts will show the change in the car as the process will be ongoing over the next few months.

For more pictures of the car and more AMG content give me a follow on IG @expressrallyscott!

Very nice wagon, congrats! I would recommend the BlackBoost intake system over the BMC drop-in filters.

Yeah, I would suggest going black boost intake given the build you have outlined. Mine arrived this week. Packaged perfectly, and the quality can be seen/felt in the product. And there are dyno results on their site and also on here showing the gains from the intake.

I ordered mine on 7/19 and it arrived 8/4. Jose over at blackboostusa.com was great with communication on order/shipment timing, and considered you get to pick the engraving after the "Handcrafted for..." on each intake, I was happy with the 2+ week timing.

Just waiting on my wheels and tires to arrive and to have time to get the car in for dyno tuning. Really curious to see what my before and after graphs will show...although I do wish I was getting a true "stock" before and "intake/tune" after dyno. Maybe I'll see if I can get a stock dyno before I install the intake...

Have fun with the build!
