What do I do?
I Bought a brand new E63S 2021 fully loaded. I drive about 120k kms/75k miles a year.
Most of my driving is on the highway very aggressive and quite fast. Have had it for 3 months now putting 27k kms on it and on my 3rd pair of tires now.. (1st pair had some drifting). 3 questions.
My question to the MB AMG world is…
How long do you all think my car will last if I keep up the maintenance?
What can I do maintenance instead taking to MB?
Side question..I curbed the car hard had to replace the lower control module and the steering was crooked but straighten it self and the left tires don’t align properly..
MB shop quotes me 25k trying to replace everything not the problem.
the car shakes over 220km now
. Hoping that changing the struts and steering rack will have it back to normal and new. What do you think will fix my steering/suspension and have it comfortable at 300km/h again??

wow. You really got your money's worth on this car.
I think you will have to step up on the oil change more frequently as starter, perhaps, every 8000km. Buy extended warranty (while you still can). I guess if you keep on driving it very aggressively, the car main components may not last beyond 150,000km and that's just my guess, of course.

I personally think you have the wrong car for the amount of driving you're doing. The only cars I've ever put high miles on (200k+) with good reliability and limited maintenance were Acura or Toyota/Lexus.

This place is a joke.
It's nice to hear that one of these depreciating appliances is being driven and enjoyed, and not wrapped in paint protection film with towels on the seats and center console and two stacked sets of floor mats. You only live once, why leave it perfect for the next owner to ruin?

I’d check wheels for cracks, and align the pig.
While it’s in the shop I’d suggest a track school. Nut behind the wheel is loose.

OP should just get a new E63 and continue to enjoy - I totally agree - ditch this broken ride - carpe diem
