Nice yeah the M156 is great - both totally different just depends on your taste

Awesome! I just serviced my friends 2015 - was nice to drive! I do miss the one I had.

Sorry for not replying sooner. So yep the M157 has a slightly noticeable response delay compared to the M156 (due to turbos I imagine). Going from a C63 to a E63 I noticed it but quickly got used to it. The E63 had a lot more pull to it - just slightly less responsive and 'rev happy' as such :) Hope that helps.

Great priced - they're mint cars.

Thank you so much :)

Cheers haha. If i was to redo it now mate, I'd get the 2014 C63, and buy also a 2005-2007 E63. I have the new C63s, and can say yea that M156 is a beautiful motor (new ones great too) but yea id go 2014 C63 and save-up / buy a W211 E63. But totally either way they're both mint.

@Sean Pang nice as.i just got 2019 e63s great car. But miss the better ride on the w212 e63s

@@thatmatty231guy Update: I ended up getting a 2013 W212 E63 AMG at the end of last year. Since then I have lowered it on H&R springs and lowering links in the rear. It’s got a Stage 1 tune from EuroSurgeon with a decat. The looks, performance, comfort are amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

@@ghs7714 Interesting - do the 213's not ride as well?

@@amitxo awesome, here in NZ? Love to see it on the road one day! :)

Thanks - thats awesome hope you’re enjoying it! Hmmmm not really that i remember - but yea is S and S+ the shifting is a lot more quick and less smooth. So thats normal. As long as its not too delayed... in comfort it should be pretty smooth - it feels way different to a normal automatic though.

Just keep an eye on your engine mounts. It's starts off as this then progresses into very bad tyre wear, vibrations, stuttering at low speed & in reverse.

I heard these motor mounts only last 20k-30k miles.

Yea they were for NZ models - all "S" but mine was a UK import - and those tended to be all lower spec. I drove a few NZ new ones and yea they were all "S" models too.

@@thatmatty231guy Great video mate, hope to see more about the car in the future!

@@sinnersaid Thank you - ive sold it now but have several other mercs i'll try videos on including my newer c63 and my newly acquired older e55 amg :)

Hey, cool! Yea I test drove an S5 ages ago, yea I think you'll love the E63. I know I loved my C63 too but the E is definetly better even though its more expensive, also better on gas slightly too haha. Yea I think its the best all rounder, haven't driven an RS4 / RS5 / RS6 / M5 mind you so probably can't compare but i think it'd be hard to beat :) Send pics when you get it !

I would definitely say E63 would be a more mature choice and an elegant classy interior and a little more space comparative to your S5 or c63. That said I would also say c63 is more fun and more wild of a ride.

@@arabiantxn Yea the C63 is more fun than the S5 definetly.

I would go for the E63. The interior is a big upgrade.

Hi Claudio. Hmmmmmm! Hard!! I'd probably now after owning both get the 2014 C63. Just a little more fun & raw. But BOTH are excellent regardless.

And sorry - yea the E63 is better on gas - the C63 is pretty bad - but both are very close anywho.

Hi, I had this for around 1.5 years all up. I think the W212 is reliable overall. But it reallys comes down to how the cars been treated. Ideally buy one that has been GARAGED its whole life where possible, that'll therefore have less likelihood of water leak issues which can damage electronics. Also make sure its been serviced regularly. Ideally its hard work done already / had parts replaced - i.e. dont buy an example with low k's that hasn't been driven.

@@thatmatty231guy yes, it always amazes me how some folk salivate over older cars with less KM on the clock, cars are meant to be driven. Where in NZ are you? I’m in Lower Hutt. thanks for your reply also!

Sorry Sir, this is from factory a facelift :)

It was around 13.5 in that car - pretty good. No issues with that engine at all when I had it

The E63s I believe has approx. 575HP versus this one with 550HP~. The S also has a rear limited slip diff too. Minor differences but still cool if you can get an S!

Not pot holes - car drives fine - rims are very strong unless very large pothole

Yea mate 5.5 is a good engine! Auckland

Ahhh pretty darn sure they're solid as engines stock - but yea tuning has proven a few issues!! TBH mine was bullet proof - I think if you own one just ensure you run it on premium high octane and service it every 7,000km~ thereabouts. Great engines.

@@thatmatty231guy did you experience noisy timing chain issues?

@@robsvtgt500 No not at all on my one

@@thatmatty231guy what do you recommend doing for service?

@@paladin3116 oil and filter, generally. But also checking ignition is serviced and transmission is kept well serviced would be my main focus?

Yep solely rear boxes removed.

Matty231 hi Marty would you get a 2014 c63 or an E63 2014 if you could, you think I should get the E63?

Hey, very good. The E63 with the M157 is great, never had an issue in the 13/14 months I had it. Yep does consume oil, maybe 1/2L per 5000km, only minor :) All mercs to date ive owned seem to consume oil. No issues with it at all, I guess though only thing I did notice was the Air con seemed to play up a little bit sometimes, there was a valve that didn't always open so basically full speed air con felt like it was on low.. otherwise absolutely flawless car - don't get put off them because people say mercs aren't reliable. Just look after it and it'll look after you. Finally, just make sure the brakes are in good nic', mine cost $8000NZD to replace! But I tracked the car too :) I now have a 2006 E550 and 2007 S600 with the V12! Will make a video soon.

I personally haven't had a single issue with mine.

Arabiantxn for how long did you own your e63?

@@kassperplus Hello KP, I have had mine for about almost 3 years The was purchased used by me and had about 70 K miles on it but had warranty and was in perfect condition. I my 2 years of ownership I have taken in to MB dealership for service 2 times I haven't had any problems or complains for the most part and during my purchase found this ( Mercedes AMG E63 ) to be more reliable then a BMW M5 F10 and Caddilac Gen 2/3 Cadillac CTS V. Feel free to ask me anything questions if you want to and if you are in the Dallas Forth area. I can meet up

@@kassperplus To Provide you with more information.... And ownership info see below. 1) oil is 9.5 QT of 0w-40 or 5w-40. Mobile-1 , It would cost you 25 -30 per a 5 gallon jugs, Cost of oil filter is 8 Dollars to 12 depending on where you buy it from 2) Brake jobs run about 4500 at the dealership You can find parts at FCP euro or online for cheaper 3) Tires are staggered and run you about 150-274 each depending on what make or quality you buy. 4) I get about 13 to 15 mpg in the around city drive Overview, cost of ownership is not bad if you don't abuse the car About the most expensive consumable on the vehicle is the brake. It's about 800 to 900 for rotors and about 300 for brake. Tires do last long as it's AWD( 4matic ) and doesn't really eat that much. Insurance is about 700 per 6 months ( you would have to shop around to get a deal) Other observations... The interior is Classy elegant and luxurious materials used are high quality. Car is super fast .. it's really shines from stop light aka drag race and is remarkable at 30-90mph accelerate. Issue I have had ride is harsh in comfort mode. Slight rattle due to small side walls and hard ride. The exhaust sounds help is draining it out. [Exhaust sounds is absolutely amazing] I have had a problem with my remote locking but per dealership it was due to a fuse that apprantly happend when I washed the engine bay. The vehicle I have is a w212 with M157 It's the E63 AMG-s version I would definitely describe it as a hotrod a muscle car more torque and less HP. It's a full size luxurious car with a monster of a engine and growl it's not a race car, it's more Jekyll and Hyde. Then usainbolt. Mercedes : Service A will run you around 275 Mercedes ; Service B will run you around 550 at Park place Mercedes in Dallas,TX

Yea mate cheap you guys are unlucky to have such high prices on these! Thanks for your comment :) Let me know when you get one!

@@thatmatty231guy I'm so close to locking one down. Really I don't know what I want now. Because they're the same price as a W205 c63. With same mileage. I'm re watching your video to help my thoughts

@@duyn7605 Hmmm thats a dilemma haha. I love the new C63 and the motor is wicked, BUT I still think build quality and ride wise the E63 is nicer... My mate has a 205 C63S coupe - 2016 - and its amazing but i wouldn't have said it was better or much better than my E63 - it was just a little more aggressive and the exhaust button was fun haha. :)

@@thatmatty231guy I love the C205 but I really am after a sedan. The tail lights on the C205 look way nicer.than the alien W205 look. Let's try this scenario Matty if someone were to come offer you a swap for your W212 and give you the same.milage and same options C205/W205 would you take it?

@@duyn7605 Yea I agree mate - Hmmmm... Good question i'd probably still stick with the W212. Although!! IF it had distronic / radar cruise / steering assist i'd probably do the C205 because I love that tech - IF the C205 didn't have the AMG performance exhaust i'd bin it too - must have that. So yea if its a well spec'd 205 then i'd probably take it yes :)

These engines don't need head bolt replacement you're thinking of the M156. These engines all-in-all i'd quote bullet-proof if looked after.

@@thatmatty231guy that's lovely thanks you still have the car or is it gone?

Thanks - i have sold nearly 2 years ago. Now i have C63s, E550 and S600. See my other video :)

The right ones are yes. Depends how well looked after.

Im dating you to drive that and be a passenger! Great review by the way too

Yep haha :)

No, it still is an old man's car, but it makes you feel like an old man with a Hot young Model of a wife.

Moooooo moooooooo baaathaaa

If you think NZ is a rip off go look up the prices in Australia lol - my 2004 E55 is like worth $20k in NZD but $60+k in australia :o

@@thatmatty231guy wow. England so much cheaper then both

@@TrustMeIKnowEverything Yea lol - this one is an England car originally :) But still expensive here.

@@thatmatty231guy best country in the world 🤣🤣🤣🤔

We can get them between 40 and 60k here in Australia, there is a guy currently trying to sell one for 96k lol. Still jealous of you guys haha
