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.

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?

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)
