If not e63s then what else?
 

What would you say is comparable to e63s or better? Ride quality, sound, drive, looks etc. I've been so in love with my e63s that I never thought to replace her with anything else but seeing that I need a car and not having any luck finding a replacement for her. I might have no choice to look at different brands. Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I saw your other post and it’s absolutely heart wrenching. Glad no one got hurt. I’d say for similar money an M5/M5 comp is your direct obvious competitor. Audi is currently transitioning to the C8 gen so it’ll be a while before their RS6/7s go on sale. The flip side of it is you can get a ridiculous deal on a CPO RS7 performance and save a few bucks and drive it till you’re bored of it. A Porsche Panamera turbo is a little pricier brand new, but plenty of used ones out there and I think the second gen looks really nice. That’s probably all the direct comps you’d have right now at least priced wothin reach if your E63.

Good luck.

If you don’t need a wagon then M5.

I would add the Porsche Panamera Turbo (or Turbo S e-Hybrid) to the list. It's available as a 4-door coupe, or in Sport Turismo form which is more wagon/shooting brake style.

Note that there are a fair number of still-new (and also super low mileage CPO) 2018 Sport Turismos on dealer lots with dealers *extremely* motivated to move them. I'm talking easily getting $40k+ off MSRP. So those $175k-210k stickers become much, much lower than that in practice. Ask me how I know ;)

Note that even with the sport exhaust engaged, the Panny still doesn't have the visceral growl of the E63S, but I find it far more refined and luxurious while still being an absolute beast.

This is a stock photo, but same color and wheels as mine:

In case you're interested, here's a link to a nationwide search for Turbos, Turbo S, in both regular and Sport Turismo style:

It's how I found mine.

+1 for the panny turbo. If I had to do it over again thats what I'd be buying.

I am absolutely in love with the look of the Sport Turismo

What spec are you looking for? If you loved it, order a new one.

If you got money then take a look at Panamera Sport Turismo or Urus.

You can also take a look at AMG GLC63 SUV.

All these three if you need one car as a daily and performance.

Kinda of a different thing but I've always wanted a G-Wagen...but everytime I'd drive one it would alleviate the feeling. Not so with the new one. A new G63 is probably the only other thing on sale I have eyes for.
I just can't justify the cost of a Sport Turismo trim that competes with the E63 in both performance and tech features. I had to spec one to $200k to get it comparable to my wagon.

get out and drive them all.... great options to have.

Here is my pre purchase comparo of my E63S and a borrowed F90 m5 (which I ended up getting):

I would order a new one, but then I just don't want to wait that long for it. She was Selenite Grey Metallic with black interior and carbon fiber trim. Upgraded everything except for the Night Package, Performance seats, and carbon brakes. Been searching everywhere and cant find another just like her...

That does look nice. Got me thinking for sure.

I just opened car gurus and there are a ton of cars with that spec. If you don't want to travel I'm sure a good dealer will take care of you and you'll get your new car.

Ive been checking all over and car gurus as well, but couldn't find one exactly the same. Wrong color, wrong interior trim, or missing options and so on...

You can order and wait a few months, you can get something now that's pretty close, or you can get something else. It's pretty simple, but don't get a different car you won't be happy with. In 2 months you could have had your exact car again....

Just some outside perspective.... Things could be much worse for you than waiting a couple of months.

Yeah you're right. I loved that car and I really dont want to settle so I guess I need to be patient. It's just so freaking crap that I'm having to go through this bs because of someone else. Arghhhhhhgggg

Since it's going to be about 7 months until the 2020s go on sale you could always look to pickup a short term lease from someone trying to get out of the last few months of theirs somewhere like swapalease.com.

Happy that nobody was injured!
Did a quick check w.local dealers. Nothing exact like yours unfortunately but somewhat equally equipped in Mpls. 5 new E63s' in town, 2 wagons. There should be good discounts on all of them.

:ditto: This is a good idea. That way you don't have to settle for less than you have now. Don't know if you have another ride, but if not, this could work. Nothing like outfitting a new E63 to your liking.

By the way, how did your Insurance handle this? My insurance with automatically upgrade your vehicle payout one year up if you total it.

M5, or Turbo Panamera.

Panamera Wagon Turbo for sure if you can splurge a bit more. Get a lightly used one for almost the same as new for E63S as long as you're not getting ceramic brakes.
Looks better, more luxurious, quieter, better handling, nicer interior.... It's a personal choice though, both are great vehicles.

Hard to decide. M5 is the better value, but lacks the looks, interior and exterior wise, and the grawl and overall engine aggressiveness.

Porsche panamera turbo (s e-hybrid) has the quality and refinement but lacks the grawl and engine aggressiveness and it is bulky as hell.

and others, just make deeper search man, you will find your new toy.

your buddy must feel horrible ... I mean it cost him $1000 and you're upset too

Yeah as I mentioned above, even with Sport Exhaust engaged, the Panamera Turbo doesn't have the alarm-triggering, neighbor-pissing-off engine sound (though maybe that's not always a bad thing...) but as for the bulk I will say that the Rear Wheel Steering works wonders and makes it super easy to maneuver in and out of tight spots. Really shrinks the car. And at speed, it's the kind of vehicle that feels like a smaller and smaller car the harder you push it. But there's no two ways about it: it's a big car.

Granted it's not for everyone, but I absolutely love mine.
