Considering AMG GLE 63S Coupe to replace my M6 GC

Bobby_Drake · 04-18-2018, 03:52 PM

So the time has come to move onto the world of SUVs. Growing family, etc.

I wanted to ask the community if anyone has any experience with the GLE 63S AMG. I test drove it recently, and that exhaust note is

Any input appreciated.

the only input: the more and more I see it out in the wild, the sexier it gets. Esp. White.

Well, here in TX it is a "real housewife" car...

why not X5M?

Why not just buy a standard SUV and keep the M6? No SUV will feel the same as driving a performance car. That's what I do. I have a X5d as my family car. Cheap, reasonably reliable, familiar, and all the intangibles of driving a BMW.

I've had the M6 for 3 yrs, depreciation for tax purposes is nil, plus with limited parking at my condo, no room for 3 cars. If I can get an SUV over 6000 lbs, I can write off $25K for tax write off as a business expense. I like the X5M but I like the GLE AMG 63S Coupe more; especially with that AMG exhaust. We'll see.

The new GLE with th updated grill is very nice. Good choice and you can’t best that exhasust note.

Enjoy your new GLE. I'd stock up on yoga pants and Starbucks cups...

What About the X6M , Its one of the best looking SUV's Out there , but again Its a matter of taste .

I'm pretty sure that the new one will come out soon as the GLE still have the old merc interior. How about a range rover sport?

Bobby_Drake · 04-23-2018, 08:42 AM

Yea I've considered that a well. Will need to test drive it.

What about the Jaguar F-Pace SVR - to my eyes one of the best looking performance SUV's I've seen.

Bobby_Drake · 08-28-2018, 09:51 AM

Ended up trading in my M6 GC for a '16 X5M. I considered the GLE AMG Coupe but it's just more $ than I want to spend. X5M is no slouch! I'm happy with the purchase.

Here is my car for sale at my local dealership.

Damn!
Nice ride, I was looking for a Sakhir Orange one in March, but ended up with San Marino blue which I love

Thanks.

SMB is a nice distinct M color as well.
