Default So I'm a big MB guy...

.... and I saw my first E63 yesterday.



She was a pretty one.

So, the BMW isn't mine. It's my mom's. We traded cars for a day because she was thinking about getting a Lexus and never got the chance to test drive any model. The BMW is a 330Ci ZHP(performance package). It's very nice.

Alright. Yeah. Back on topic. I also saw an S65 in the Holland Tunnel over in the NY/NJ area.



It was awesome.



There was a CL500 on the other side of the highway.


Sorry for the crappy cellphone pictures.

In socal, E63s are everywhere now

I'm still partial to the E55, but I wouldn't mind an E63!

There are at least 6 AMG vehicles at my condo's parking garage on my floor. And there are two other parking garage floors that I don't go to...

So why do most of you favor the E55 over the E63? Something about the E55 making more torque?

Damn right, but if you plan on keeping that for a while.... I'm sure insurance for 4 years will cost more than the car itself.

At our SELOC/GA3S track meet in the fall, the East Coast AMGers came. Mercedes Benz of N.A brough a CLS 63 and E63 and owners had E55s so it was a nice grudge match.

Beautiful cars!!!
