E63-Turbo or NA?

[ack0]

What is the perceived wisdom here?

Looking a couple of years old and you have the both 6.3 and turbo model available.

Turbo is more money and theoretically a good few more mpg

Anyone with experience of both?

Thx

I own both engines, but in different cars - 2010 E63 and 2011 CL63. The CL is Renntech tuned and is an absolute monster, but you cannot beat the sound of the NA motor. CL is a noticeably lighter drinker as well.

Having owned both, it has to be the NA 6.2 litre unit. I will be replacing my TT E63 with a NA AMG when my lease is up. Quite frankly, the throttle response on the FI unit is terrible and even after 20 months I can't steer it as happily on the throttle.

Economy on longer runs was better on my 6.2 but around town the TT pips it.

I couldn't agree more. The new TT motors have impressive mid range torque and WOT performance, but can't match the NA engines for the precision of connection between throttle and rear axle.
Happy to be back in a NA AMG, but hope the AMG and BMW engineers can figure out how to fix this soon as big bore NA engines are finished....
