We've had the C63 estate for 3 years and 61,000 miles now.

Time for something new...



Order placed, should be April build with May/June delivery.

Absolutely amazing lease deal on these available at the moment. Too good to ignore really.

Can't wait!

That looks computer generated, almost cartoonish.

It's off the AMG configuration, so more than likely a render.

can only find a saloon, but just over £17k in total for 2 years and 20k miles is pretty spectacular.

And DAB.

I'm only adding privacy (for my son who is sensitive to bright light) and matte black wheels as they are a cheap option.

There really isn't anything else that it needs!

Ah, the diff is a bit expensive. Which was a shame. But amazing value considering it even has the same power as the outgoing Performance Pack Plus car.

what colour exterior and interior are you going for?

you could have sun protection package instead of privacy glass

very tempting ..

I would only add the multi contour seats ...

PPP pre facelift had 800 NM, this one a mere 720 NM .. will be utterly bonkers though.

That is astonishing: 6 x 23 at £475. Even with higher miles it's still absurdly cheap.

Looks great Jack - they are offering some amazing discounts on these cars already. It is only a shame we are not getting the S-AMG model as the UK can no longer spec the Performance Pack, Ceramic brakes and some other goodies that we could before.

But I will say one thing the standard UK spec is very good...

Where did you find the AMG E estate on the configurator? I cannot find it.

Go to the AMG website. (Mercedes-AMG.com I think). Miles more info on there.

The standard car is more than enough for what I need. It has the same power as the old Perf Pack (less torque though), so not exactly slow. And I wouldn't want the 4Matic version either, so no great loss to me. The spec is great. Only adding the matte black wheels and privacy.

I can't say I ever missed not having the Performance pack on the C63. Though I might miss the locking diff. But it's a hefty option on the E63. I'll learn to live without.

Yes I saw that - 2.5K for the locking diff. Sure it was only around £1100 for the C63.

I am looking forward to the rear-bumper videos already wink

You've got be thinking now.......you bad man!

Looks great Jack and what an awesome deal!!

I spotted the same one through a company called Contract Cars but, like you, would prefer to go through my local MB dealer. Had no luck with the ones up here in Glasgow though. Chris sent me on your email with the details of MB Manchester Corporate, and I'm just off the phone to Claire who couldn't be more helpful or friendly. Just waiting on an email back to confirm prices. I've asked her to get a price with and without a locker (557 horse and RWD concerns me). Upgrade wheels, tinted windows, colour to be decided. Watch this space...........

A cracking deal, and a worthy replacement for our 2012 Oil burning E Class in 2 years time.
