Dark side
After owning 3 M5s in a row (2008, 2013, 2015) I wanted to try something different before getting into the F90 M5. Bought this 2018 Mercedes E63 S a few months ago and have just finished the mods. HRE P101 wheels, lowered, Keller Catless downpipes, DME Stage 2 tune, JB4 to log and tweak boost. I also upgraded to the AMG carbon fiber trim since the car had black wood.
I absolutely love the car and specifically the AWD. Coming from heavily modified F10 M5s I could never put the power down. I will say this car is no faster than my Stage 2 M5s from a roll (lost to one last weekend in roll race event) but overall a better package. It is firm as others have mentioned but I like that race car type of feel. Definitely not a road trip car especially when specced with the performance seats. |

I think any advantages the Merc had before have been matched by the F90 awd. Did the OP even drive the F90 before buying the Merc? |

Beautiful pics on this thread! Really impressed with the Mercs with regards to interior and exterior. In the process of leasing an amg gt 53 for the wifey. Coming out to 1633 a month after 5k down. Drove one the other day and reminded me a lot of the panamera 4s in terms of drive and how stout it is. Leases are horrible but its what she wants lol
