Sell E63S for GS-F or keep

You aren't going to like the lack of torque. I was very disappointed in the lack of mid-range on the GS F, and the transmission's unwillingness to downshift to make any type of sudden acceleration in stop and go traffic. If I had an E63S, I wouldn't be considering a GS F as a replacement. Nice to see another Dallas Gen 5 owner!

So this may seem dumb but I get in allot of trouble with the benz. I drive way to fast at times. I am just commuting. Lol. I really think I would drive slower and not speed if I had GS-F. Now with that said I have other cars that are fast. The purpose of this is mearly commuter, kid carrier, multi purpose car. My car is AMS tuned and I'm chewing tires up. No Michelin option and perreli suck etc. E63 trans 3-4 sucks and it's a beast but the trans mission is junk. Not smooth, once I tuned it jumps to downshift hard which tuners and forum guys said it's normal. If you drive in normal mode / eco its dead lol starts out in second gear and unless you hammer it you will hate. If you the put in sport or sport plus it starts out in first but then it can really jerk you around because it's super torque and throttle is not fluid. If you read amg forums everyone hates that. If you want power and just power yes it's cool. It's just a tough decision to me.

My uncle was in the very same situation as you are now. He sold his E63 after owning it for one year and bought a GSF. Now he is a happy man without worrying much about speeding tickets, not to mention the visits to dealership for small glitches, rattles.... And becuz of his positive experience with GSF, I bought one in November.

I sold 16E63S today and bought GS-F and in my opinion it's a way better car. Yes brute force is nice but I feel the Mercedes is a bull in the China shop. The GS-F is a like a skilled surgeon.. not a guy with a chain saw. Lol. Best how I can explain.

But damn how much of a depreciation did you take without lube? I know it is totally worth it to you, but just wondering
