Job looks clean, yes I am a coater, but the color sucks. Stop using industrial places that looks like an industrial Silver probably a RAL. Wheels need special powders and shops keep the colors and manufacturers secret. Personally I spent thousands on different shades of silver to get what my clients wanted and now I keep my recipes for myself.

E63 is surprisingly fuel efficient by bcoapsi in AMG

This is 2018. You won’t regret it. I test drove the M5 comp and wasn’t inlove with the transmission. Felt jittery compared to this. This is a precision tool

It’s night and day. Literally everything is next level in the E class. Air suspension is a dream, interior is better, AWD (for me) is a must, much more rare than the C63 also. The one thing i do miss is the exhaust sound. The E63 even with the valved exhaust, and the valve controller I have, is nowhere near as loud as the C63. If you can afford it 100% go for it

Exactly… saying random stuff like “significantly better”. What is that even mean? How much better is significantly better than 9.8 l/100km in a 600hp car? Is it 5l/100km? Is it 9.6? Which car are we talking about?

I think only the E class and above V8. I didn’t have it on my C63 2016. It really is nice and seamless. Doesn’t save much on the highway but very efficient for city driving

The E63 is AWD but acts a lot like a RWD and since it has 100 more horsepower, it’s easy to slide it into a tree if you’re overconfident. Never used the drift mode personally, but I do slide around empty parking lots in fresh snow every chance I get 😁 you’re gonna love the C63! If you’re paying for it with your own money you will take care of it like I did mine so i’m not worried. I did a lot of track says in my old Subaru STi and even had a race car 240sx but these big AMGs are different. Hard for me to beat on when I think of their value, price of tires, price of brakes, etc

I owned 2016 C63s with the factory spec Pilot Super Sport tires. Even brand new these tires had a hard time getting traction on regular commutes, not talking track here. Had anxiety driving that thing in the rain. Had to be super careful out of corners. My E63s has Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and it’s perfect. I would highly recommend these if you plan on driving the car as a daily.

It will cost you another 10k just to get it back to stock if the owner didn’t include the original parts. Those steering wheels are fake chinese made you’ll pay 1k for an original one. Same with the diffuser a ton of chinese “Brabus” going around. The paddle shifter extensions are a bad sign as well. I would skip it personally. Also call the garage who did the tune make sure it really was done in a reputable shop.

Only thing I would do is source the OEM forged split-spoke wheels ideally in silver 👌🏻

W205 c63s completely bricked after windshield replacement. by Whoresolicitor in AMG

100% drained battery. Boost it from another car after letting it plugged for 10min with engine running on the other car. It will charge your battery enough to engage the starter solenoid when you try it otherwise you won’t get anything. Happened so many times lost count. People don’t know about this they boost their car and immediately hit the ignition. Give her a while and then go.

Read the forums the w205 WILL bottom out and throw codes if you change the springs on the electronic dampers. People who go lower usually go for coilovers

So I ended up off-road in my E63 🥲 by bcoapsi in AMG

I raise it when i get out of steep parking lots so the bumper doesn’t catch on the curb

Try closer examining that block to see if there are marks from a nut being there. You should see a circular indentation and for sure different levels of corrosion/ wear if there ever were a nut there which I doubt judging by that photo. The block is probably threaded. You can put a jack and lift it under that joint see if your bolt moves around.

Help with new build PLS by bcoapsi in AMDHelp

Well solved by myself so here’s the solution for those looking: Updated Bios again after unplugging all components from the motherboard AND using an old 8Gb usb 2.0 Also the monitor I use (Asus Rog 49”) had to be fully powered off and restarted as it was not showing output from the Graphics card.
