    My thoughts echo most you have read or heard before. Excellent build quality, great performance for a large, heavy sedan (except at launch, they limited the power to prevent driveline shock in the model year I had, I think they have revised this for the 9 speed transmission cars), lots of tech. Downside is depreciation, maintenance, and repairs. I did not buy an extended warranty and probably saved some money, but it was not a bunch. If you can find one with carbon ceramic brakes, pay more for them, brakes are $4k per axle and they can go quick if you use the car hard (I did not, but others have). Looking back, I would do it again, the car was worth the money (I did buy used, not new).

    Friend had an '18 E63S and loved it, was great in snow as well w/ snows on, just like my M5. However, I'd get a used M5 instead, cause the ride is very harsh on the AMG. I'm talking the AWD versions of both, from '18 on....

    From your mouth to God's ear ICP!
    The missus forbids lift kit red-neckery!

    So, what's the deal with your watermelon car shampoo? Is that what the hip kids in Denmark are using? Seriously though, do you use one of those soap blasters?

    Have you told her how cool she would look in a redneck-sled like that? And if you stick a polished 8-71 out the top it will be even better:D

    Yeah, we're doing the foam thing here:)
    Chemical Guy's Watermelon Snowfoam. Best snowfoam on the market:)
    I use my trusty MJJC foam lance and my Stihl RE 163+ :cool:

    Eeeh. Am I the odd man out who simply don't get the appeal of a C or E63? It's like a powerful taxicab.

    sorry, gotta say that the parking space is very nice. My attention was more on the area than the car.

    Thank you. My folks will be very happy to hear that:) The pic was taken at my parents place two weeks ago in their DD driveway. I wash my cars on their street as I'm an inner city dweller with no good spot for detailing:)

    Agree many of the Mercs are glorified cabs. All one has to do is flag one down in Stuttgart or an African or middle eastern Capital. But there is no denying the fun factor many express with their AMG’s.

    No, you are not. I am only interested in an S class, C and E do nothing for me.
