Just picked up my new E63 AMG. It's a 2015 model, I believe selenite grey with black leather.
It is like a new car inside and out and bought from Mason's in Hitchin.
It replaces a BMW 335i M-Sport and is a massive step up in all areas, the BMW was a 2011 model.
This is my 2nd MB having owned a R129 SL500 many years ago. It's my second uber estate having owned an Audi C5 RS6.
The Audi was rabid and from memory a much harder ride that didn't last long.

Be interested to hear from other owners and forum members on upgrades like CarPlay. And are there other active forums for AMG MB's?

Lovely, enjoy the noise.

Nothing to contribute from experience about upgrades, mine's still standard and thus far has been relatively little bother.

I contacted Comand Online about a carplay upgrade for a similar age Merc and they said 750ish.

Hi, great car you have there.

I have a 2010 S212 and Comandonline fitted an Integrated Automotive system (IMI1000). It piggybacks on the existing COMAND set up so you gets apps on the screen and control them via the nudge wheel.

I use Android Auto but you can also connect to Carplay. The AA connection can occasionally be a bit flaky but that's a flaw in AA not in the unit itself.

It's transformed my car as I now have Maps, Waze, Spotify, Audible etc etc etc.

FWIW I went on to get the door speakers upgrade to Morels and had a hidden sub stuck in the boot. I really rate the team at CA; they know what they're doing.

If you want to find other E63 owners have a look in mbclub.co.uk.

ETA; I drove mine from London to Leeds yesterday - the nav and ents make a massive difference to a long drive.
