WOW Dude ... good on you with the S63's as well ...
Yeah ... I had the same issues in my 2008 S450 4matic AMG Sport Package, and my 2011 S63 AMG .... not so on the 2015 S63 ... They seem to have fixed these issues with the last S63 AMG class I got my hands on. The main reason for this car (2015 vs my 2011 S63) is the AMG 4matic as it rains a lot in the winter months and we have a few snow days... And shaving off 0.5 sec zero to 60 going 4matic isn't a bad thing either
... My last S63 AMG (non 4matic) had issues in heavy rain and the few snow days we get here In Victoria BC .. even with Pirelli Soto Zero on the stock 20's ... Have to drive through a provincial park and elevation change of 1900 ft from sea level for a 2 km windy stretch, before the last 3 km of my 26 km commute home from Victoria ... And yes we get a ft of snow and Victoria get a light dusting ...
as for the 2011 S63 AMG vs the 2008 S450 4matic ... the performance sucked on the S450 after having a 2007 M6 Cab ...
had to upgrade when I could
My S450 4 matic never had the fit and finish of the Designio options on my 2011 S63 ... and the 2015 S63 which is sick
S450 4matic Amg sport trim was amazing in the snow and rain ...
The fit and finish of the current gen M6 is crazy ... Similar to the 2011/2015 S63 Amg ... Yet miles ahead of the 2008 S450 and current gen run of the mill S550
I'd go as far as saying the current M6 and S63 have very similar attention to detail in the fit and finish ... And performance ... However very different animals ... Both are amazing in their own way ... No only if the BMW Alpina B7 was XDrive ... Gulp ... Ok maybe lets not go that far
This is why I dropped the post re your wife's non AMG sport S550 4matic ... mind you my wife now drives a 2015 GLK 250 Bluetec ...
No that I sit here after some clarification all is good again!
All is good again
Love the brands ... BMW and Benz ... both have AMAZING PRODUCTS if the right performance and fit/finish options selected!!!
Driven many a Porsche Turbo at Mosport as well ... many nice things there as well ... if ordered correctly!
Enjoy the sickness ... and the improvements with time as the German's improve their Game! ... lets just overlook VW for the time being
Much
Bro!!!
Enjoy the addiction of AMAZING PERFOMANCE CARS!!!!
