Stationdragon // 2019 S213 E63
 
hello everyone,

finally had an opportunity to take some photos of the wagon. i took delivery (like many of the 2019 holdouts) 3 weeks ago on november 29th, and the first thing i did was drive her to Benz Works followed by Haas Entertainment to get the following work done:

• XPEL Ultimate Plus full body wrap
• chrome delete on door handles and trunklid brow, as well as black gloss wrap on rear roof panel
• Formula One Ceramic 25% tint on all windows except windshield
• ESCORT Max CI 360 system
• H&R DR series spaces (15mm front / 12mm rear)
• lowering module
• Stage 1 ECU tune
• AMG heritage wheel hub inserts

i'm super pleased with how the car turned out, and am not planning any further modifications. it's exactly the way i like it, and that's a beautiful thing. hope you enjoy the photos as much as i do.

happy holidays!

Great pictures! Enjoy.

Beautiful!

Looks gorgeous - at which height did you set the lowering module at - drop is perfect!

ronin amg 12-22-2018 11:33 AM

Awesome, it's a shiny me.
Your next move should be a set of F1 Fabrication front upper control arms in order to get a proper alignment before you kill those front tires.

sjb 12-22-2018 09:05 PM

thank you all for the comments... i couldn't be happier with it.

we didn't measure it, but i'm guessing it's somewhere between 1.25" and 1.5" in comfort mode.

will do! and yes, your spec was a big inspiration.

Which lowering module did you go with?

I purchased a Renntech module a few weeks ago, it didn't work, the Renntech people thought it was due to it being a 2019 model so they're tweaking the software now. But it's been several weeks and I'm still waiting. (Have my F1 fab control arms sitting on the floor in front of me waiting to be installed.)

I bought the ebay module and it works great for 1/3 the price of the renntech.

sjb 12-24-2018 12:02 AM

you’ll have to call Benz Works and ask them what they used. i am very happy with the look/ride quality/clearance, so i don’t have a need to keep
changing it.

bluesea 12-24-2018 02:02 AM

One of the most beautiful wagons on the forum! I love the center caps and other details. Good call on the ceramic brakes. I'll have to consider the roof panel wrap for my wagon as it's the same color.

Sweet! Thanks for the great pictures.

If Renntech can't resolve this in another week, I'll just have to return it and get another unit from ebay. This is my first purchase through Renntech and to date haven't been very inspired by the post sales support. :(

Beautiful car and photos! Definately making use of that golden hour.

Really wish they made the AMG heritage center locks for the matte black wheels. Would look better than the three-pointed star IMO.

Considering all you've done, you might want to check out these shift paddles. Your factory ones look the same as my 2018 model. I have the carbon set and they make them in aluminum with silver or matte black. I have the carbon ones and added the red/green tape. If I'm coming out of a tight turn and need to up-shift I instantly know which paddle to pull (green) while the steering wheel is upside down and moving around.

thank you!

agreed... i've toyed with the idea of purchasing another set and trying to modify the center lock cap.

Your wagon is absolutely perfect... minus the tires :D

hahahaha. thank you... yes, that was the first thing i checked at delivery. going to see how they wear with the slight drop, and then make necessary adjustments when i get a proper set of rubber.

There are zero adjustments.. You will need the F1 upper control arms if you lower your car.

If you don't I'll just say I told you so...:zoom:

Your car looks great! I have two questions...
1. What length bolts did you go too when you put the spacers on?
2. Where did you locate your radar sensors on the front?

Thanks

25%?? are your sure? they don't seem dark at all :confused:

Ditto. I thought the windows looked like 50% or you just took the photos prior to the tint.

friskygeek 12-26-2018 09:59 AM

^^ Its probably because the photos were taken with a circular polariser on the lens. Polarizers have an uncanny ability to "let-in" light.

apologies for the late response.

1. not sure, but the new bolts came with the spacers.
2. they're located right next to the parking sensors, above the lower intake. the radar sensors are the pill-shaped things you see inset from the parking sensors. see photo below – added bonus, that picture also shows the Zunsport intercoolers guards, which were super easy to install and make a world of difference, re: debris. i drive LA –> SF quite a bit, and the intercoolers were taking a beating... not anymore.

as for the tint, that was a typo – i meant to write 35%.

here's another (non-pro) photo:

hi everyone – if you like my car and the build to date, please take 5 seconds to vote for it in the MBWorld Featured Car of the Month competition. i would appreciate it. thank you!

PhantomX2K 05-04-2019 11:27 PM

Question on your spacers. Did you notice any shake or any funny ride change with the spacers in? Also when I called H&R they said they did not have an application for the E63 so which ones did you go with?
