M cars to AMG

Hey guys. Had my 2019 E63S for about a month. Traded my 18 F80 after four years. Best decision I’ve made. Currently trying to plan custom exhaust and already have spoken to PTG. Going with Mode Carbon outside bits. Ordered my EVM from Renntech. Thanks

Good luck with Mode Carbon. They have had a lot of issues meeting commitments and with really poor communication. That eventually got them pulled here as a vendor.

Aren't they essentially a resaler? Just five things off eBay etc and then resell it for 100% markup?

Seconded on Mode, they're not the way to go. At least RWCarbon gets their AliExpress carbon to me fast when I need it, same with Euroteck.

On the other hand PTG all the way, those guys are AWESOME to deal with.

Have you checked out RennTech or MACarbon for parts?

MACarbon doesn't show any W213 parts on their web site. Renntech doesn't have any CF on theirs (they do have some tuning/brake stuff).

Damn I didn’t know the issues till I posted this. I don’t need the headache. Is the majority here going with RK or Renntech? I know they are all essentially made in china.

Ah, I see. They are kind of limited in their offerings. I haven't been on their sites in a while but when I did get stuff from them they were both very high quality I still have the CF side mirror shells, from MACarbon that still look great.

Don't bother with anything renntech, waste of money, paying for the brand.

OP - very nice car. What M cars did you have other than the F80? I had a turbo E36 M3 and then a blown E39 M5. I miss both of those cars every day and regret selling both. Two of the best motors during a pinnacle age for BMW engineering.

How are these 2018+ E63S cars reliability-wise? Reason I ask is every biturbo owner I've spoken to says they all leak and have horrible oil leak issues for the motor. Is this the case for all years? I've been considering adding a newer AMG to the stable but reliability is key -

I had an E46 M3 back in the day and was lucky enough to work for BMW when the new M5 came out. I had a comp for a demo for a month. It's a monster, can't complain about anything. Down by me in Naples FL M5's are a dime a dozen but for some reason you don't see E63's. Love both brands but this time around I wanted a change. As far as reliability I think with all German cars it's all about maintenance. I try to do mine up front and extended warranty lol. It's going in for a service B and plugs. My boy works as a tech for Mercedes and said just maintain it and to drive it. DME and Eurocharged are within driving distance so they are an option as well with just a stage 1 as I don't want it too aggressive at the moment. DME and Pure have tuned a few monster M5's down here.
