Hello Everyone,

My build date is 12/2D/18, been reading alot of the post made and really sorry how some of you guys have had some major issues with your E63 amg S. I am just afraid to even drive my car once I get delivery. Anyone know if those issue would be resolved by the time my car is built?

Its the Net, you will only read the bad stories here. Drive the car!!!! As I have stated before here and on other forums, people with good experiences or no issues chalk it up to par for the course and wont post. This place is a microcosm of E63S buyers and there are many owners that dont come to the forums who dont have issues. Only a MBUSA employee with full access to the claims could give you a true count.

My build is the earliest out there (02/2017)...with zero issues and I mean zero.

An April '18 build here, 4500 miles, not a single issue. For every problem on here there's an order of magnitude of owners that don't have any issues. Search to see how many "I haven't had a single problem" threads have been started...
No one who has a problem free experience feels compelled to let everyone know unprompted.

I understand your hesitation but as VIC55 and others have said you usually only hear about the few that have had issues. This is not to denigrate those that have had problems because it's frustrating, time consuming and has resulted in the buy back of a very few. My wagon is an 04/18 build and I just surpassed 1k miles with zero issues. I pretty much followed the break-in procedure though I did fall of the wagon ( pun intended) a couple of times with no detrimental effects. Drive your car! These things are so much fun and you don't see one on every block either. Besides the E63s comes with a great warranty and if something unexpected does occur Mercedes will fix it. Keep us informed as to how it goes for you.

Best car I ever owned -broke it in as per Mercedes no issues

no worry, OP. Car comes with roadside assistance 24/7. New York also has car lemon law too.

As Vic noted earlier, folks don't post good news as often as the bad--it's just not human nature.

I don't imagine you'll encounter anything that the warranty won't cover and it'll most likely be nothing at all. Of course, I can't see the future but the stats back me up

I drive my car up and down the rpms since day 1--- Sport plus or die!!!!

No oil consumption issues which might be attributed to a completely different engine in that of the M177 vs the M157 but then again I didnt have oil consumption issues on my 3 M157's.

Thats good to hear! My E63s arrived in Long beach a few days ago. I have never had a Merc and decided to move from my Nissan Gtr which I have had 0 problems with. Happy to know the car is as good as I researched

I did not have that feeling at all. Then again I grew up with high performance, gran touring cars. Embrace the moment and enjoy the car. My E63S, is rock solid then again it's the last true beast W212 5.5L V8

Thanks guys, appreciate it. You read these horror stories and I track almost all my cars and just got a bit worried before anything even happened lol.

My car has been fine as was my 2012 E63 AMG wagon which I drove 53K miles. The main maintenance cost on these cars seems to be tires, they are generally only good for 10 to 20K miles. The other main cost is depreciation as most have learned, but like the saying goes, you gonna play, you gotta pay.

Michael Khan

I am not really worried about depreciation cost, I am gonna try to keep this car for a long time.
