Haven't seen one of these threads yet in this section, thought it may be interesting . Nice to see some higher mile examples , as i'm sure we're getting there with this chassis .

2015 E63S with 116K here, stock as well, using her once a week for the commute. Have a fresh front end respray and new windshield thanks to a idiot driver in front of me. Just completed as piece-of-mind trans fluid and filter change. Love this freaking car!
2014 E36S just crossed 100k miles and is my daily driver. She has an ECU and TCU tune and no expenses are spared when it comes to maintenance.
Trans fluid and diff fluid were done recently along with a new water pump, thermostat, pulleys, and belt just to freshen things up.
Just about to roll over 52k
I think about listing it for sale from time to time.. then i'll drive it and delete the ad lol
No issues, perfect cylinder walls. stock tune, just downpipes
- dyno tuned at 35k miles - ams 93 tune
- tuned at 40k miles - ec e30 then e40 with edok tcu tune
- dyno tuned at 41k miles - ams 100 octane
- dyno re tuned ams 93 octane ecu with BB and tcu
- black boost since 40k
runs great, occasional CEL's were misfires due to bad coils or plugs, now I regularly replace coils at 5k miles and plugs every 10k just to be cautious, small price to pay.
pig tails on cps and solenoids, no oil at the ecu.
Indy did full brake job for $1400 with OEM products - brembo etc
has been nothing but a joy, no rattles or creaks or anything like that.
Bought the beauty as a third owner @49K Miles
Daily driven since purchase, currently@64k Miles.
Dealer maintained only
thankful for no major issue. Runs like a charm and pulls like a devil’s chariot.
2014 E63S, bought new in 2014, 46k miles. no rattles or creaks or anything like that.
Really? You must have gotten the one they put their best efforts on in terms of fit and finish!
My '14 just turned over 37K. I am the second owner. 6 yrs of ownership. One driver's side cross strut. One expensive, no one on this forum ever heard of, headlight problem. Lowered. Eurocharged TX ECU and TCU. Every other time I take it out someone with a crap box or a BMW bro with fart tune wants to race me in the cluttered highways of NYC.
2016 with 67k miles. Just purchased last month. Dealer maintained by previous owners… still needed 1 CPS and I updated the left cross strut to the mevotech version.
2014 E63 AMG S here with 125k miles. About to put 2k more on as I am prepping to go down to tail of the dragon. Love the car and am probably going to keep it forever.

65K on mine, second owner, stock, purchased in 2022 with 53K, my daily, regular maintenance + drivers cross strut to eliminate some noise. Love Love Love…. ;-)
2010 with 107k miles. Second owner, had it since 2014. Runs great. About to put in new fuel injectors. Has had several sets of brakes and tires, rear air springs, alternator, engine and trans mounts. Guibo. Valve cover gaskets. Normal maintenance stuff. Oil analysis still good.
Enjoyed it when I picked it up. Still puts a smile on my face
Put the winter tires on this weekend ready for winter. Unfortunately on the road the next 6 weekends, this weekend was the only free weekend. As it stands, there is snow expected in the mountains this weekend so timing is perfect.
2015 E63S bought in 2016 as 2nd owner at 12k miles and at 49k miles. All OEM stock except for EC ATX TCU tune and AMS 93 + 100 octane tunes and BB intakes. Michelin PS4S tires are the best set up for this car too.
don’t have pano roof so ZERO creaks and noises just that annoying drover front left cross strut bearing slip and replacement as I’m on my 4th in 7 years! Interior Leather still looks amazing, rims good, paint good and air struts working perfect. FCP euro purchased rotors Brembo and EBC red pads and haven’t had to pay for parts for new pads/rotors in 4 years with FCP warranty. Forgot to add i did replace all camshaft position sensors (4) plus 2 of the cam magnets and did all 8 coil packs which do wear quickly if you're tuned.
car is still super comfortable and fun as hell to drive especially with a tank of 100 octane and AMS tune that dyno’d 736whp and good for quarter 10.4 and 132mph. I wanted to keep the car as stock as possible which is why I only did the mods above and won’t do any more as I’ll take this bulletproof reliability vs another .2 in the quarter and risk damaging the motor.
hold on to your E63 W212 if you have one I think this will be a special car to have in the years to come!
I've got about 139k on my 2012 wagon. I got it about 2.5 years ago with 120k on it. It's been amazing except recently the left rear shock started leaking and i can't find the right replacement part for it, and i've got a coolant leak that i've been too sad to investigate yet.
Love this thread as a counter point to the general Internet "my car sucks and is broken" threads!
'16 S212, 76k miles, no unusual maint besides the cross strut, and replacing front driveshaft due to failed CV joints. Some oil in the CPS, now pigtails, no issues. Remains a very nice combo of practicality / performance / stealth.
2014 E63S. Mods are listed in my signature. I'm at 58k miles. It's had a few issues in the 5 years I've owned it but nothing super major beyond an expensive-fix-oil leak. It's been more reliable than anything else I've ever owned.
2014 e63 wagon, 67K miles. since 48k mikes when I bought it in 2019 I've replaced half a dozen tires for bubbles, straightened 4 bent rims, coolant expansion tank, water pump, plastic coolant lines, plugs, suspension height sensor, drivers side suspension control arm, oil filter housing gaskets, trans and diff fluid change, 1 clunky rear shock, air compressor, rotors/pads (Brembo), HVAC blower motor, 2 batteries, preemptive changing of 4 cam sensors and 4 magnetic pucks... all pretty straight forward DIY. Sounds like a lot of stuff but not really for a 10 year old car...Waterpump should have lasted longer and the plastic turbo coolant lines are a stupid design but otherwise this swiss army knife of a car kicks ***!!!
2014 E63S. Bought in March of this year. 101k on it now. It makes me nervous and I haven't bonded with it the way I did with my 04 E55. I also need to sort out a wheel balance issue (unless it is something worse). At least one wheel has a bend visible on the outside. I bought it from the original owner and it had 100% dealer maintenance.
I would not road trip this car because my S550 is far superior for that.
Just clicked over 116k.
Bought with 79K.
Stock, other than a tow hitch.
Replaced water pump.
Did trans service.
Replaced spark plugs and coils.
Replaced brakes.
Replaced tires (seems like I can only get 2yrs, at most, out of them).
Replaced overflow bottle.
Replaced cross-strut (front lower arm that routinely fails).
I autocross it occasionally. Tons of fun.
Tracked it twice. Lots of fun until the brakes fade.
Dragged it twice times. Boring as hell.
Have towed like, 5000 miles with it?
