2023 E63S Wagon
So back on topic (again)
Can you find one to drive? IMHO if you liked the C63's you will LOVE the E63.

I have to jump in here... just because.
I'm on my first wagon and there is no planning, or anything intellectual that will ultimately save you. These are the greatest cars on the planet. Owning one is a joy and a risk.

Yea, umm....this is the internet, nobody cares about your personal finances (unless you're on ferrarichat! ) and you really shouldn't be posting any details about your finances anyway. Definitely too much information for the internet. And again, we don't care.

Nonetheless, MB's traditionally depreciate, so if you're buying this as a temporary car until your next one, know that this will lose you money. But if losing the money is worth the enjoyment, then that's fine.

In terms of G80 vs. E63S, you need to ask yourself a few questions:
1) Do you like driving an ugly, beaver toothed car?
2) Do you like driving a car that has a terribly designed boring interior?
3) Do you like being known as a 3-series driver, or do you want to be a little more "grown up" with an E-class?
4) And do you like driving a car that has a beautiful exterior and interior car with an amazing V8?

I think the answer is clear, but these are my personal opinions of what I like.

I want to thank, Trenton for the quick email responses to my inquiry and processing my warranty contract. After 7-weeks of searching, Highline Autos provided the best term options.

I would also like to say this is my 2nd E63S (first being the W212 E63s) and these engine are built like tanks. Knock on wood but I never had any issues besides your normal wear and tear.

Just keep up to date with your maintenance and you will be good.
