I miss my 212

A nice lady from the dealer called today to see if I was still the owner of the 2016 E63 on my account, as their records show it is due for service.
I told them "Unfortunately I sold it. It was the best car I ever owned."
She said she would remove it from my file and not call anymore on it to which I replied "That makes me a little sad. It made me feel special to have that car on my profile."

I miss my my old car. It was the bomb.

At least you find joy with the 213 as well... right?

Yeah but it's not the same. For sure it's great, just different.
The 212 in S+ is connected.
And those shifts ... oh man, those bang-thump-growl shifts were heaven.

Who you sold it to, if it is your friend perhaps you could ask for a drive every now and then?

On the shoulder
IMHO, the 212 is in a great place regarding advancing technology while maintaining feel, engagement, etc. Mercedes/AMG really did a great job with the car.


Edit: I should say - if someone here is serious about selling, I know someone seriously looking. IDK his budget, but he's turned down a pretty perfect (IMO) nice spec car for $53k, so he's not looking to spend max budget. Either PM me, post your IG, or both. (I am AMGFLA there)

Well said. I have a 15 63 that just rolled 100k. For what the trade in offers have been - it's like dang.. Just going to make room for it & hold onto it at this point ha.
