i think it's about the same on the 1/4....

but the E63 is quicker by a mile or two mph.......

i would chose that car over the 335 any day i love it!

Traction is the major issue with the E55. An E55 with drag radials will kill an E63 with drag radials any day of the week.

An 2007 Performance package updates mates

Quote:

The most powerful E- Class comes courtesy of the Mercedes-Benz AMG motorsport experts. The new E63 AMG has 507 hp and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. And maximum torque of 465 lb-ftensures that acceleration from any other speed is an equally breathtaking experience. The top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h, but there are no limits to the driving pleasure on offer. That's partly due to the AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC transmission. The three shift programs give you a choice between a Comfort or Sport mode, as well as a manual mode that lets you change gears using AMG shift paddles on the ergonomic sport steering wheel. The set-up has distinct echoes of the world of motor racing - as does the AMG high-performance braking system with its composite front brake discs, and the AMG sport suspension.

I'll take one...it simply :rocks:

ALPINE6SPD · 02-19-2007, 11:03 AM

One other thing
The problem with the e55 at least in the US is the resale BLOWS. This is even worse now with the introduction of the 63.

Very few people sell cars like this once they buy them. And from those
that do, money isn't a problem.

I want a E55 wagon.

totally unture. I lost 2 deal. because people got nothing for trade on e55 amgs. They ended up keeping the car because the hit was too much to take. The resale BLOWS regardless if few people sell these bricks.

you have a cls so in the us thats better resale but MB cant give E classes away here. They lease for 100 less per month than a 5 series and people STILL DONT buy them. Your cls is a lot different resale wise than an e55. Plus in the US everyone has to have something new regardless if the car is better or not. I would take a 55 just because of tuning potential against the 63.
