You said its straight out of a C63, it's not! The M156 was first introduced into the w211, well before production of w204. 🙂
This "old" E63 AMG is much much more better then the brand new one in my opinion. The new one is with out a V8. It is now a 4 cylinder with an electric engine. Aweful. This is not what I expected in an AMG. The cars here in Germany getting worst. Not only from the engine wise, but also from the look, sound and weight. Because of this I am still driving a tuned and weight reduced BMW 330d (E46) from 2001. It is a 6 cylinder diesel with torque
Wait till you drive one before dismissing it. The power & torque is insane & it feels nimble rather than a lead weight. If it wears the AMG badge you can be assured it’s beyond high performance regardless of the power train.
They often have new regulations they have to meet in regards to producing new engines.
@@Gregsheppo66 For me: most of the new cars (also the brand new AMG E63) are driving computers with less emotions (no or fake exhaust sound + no feeling in the steering + nearly no buttons and so on in the car all touch screen,...). And this is really nothing I want. All the new cars are to heavy to be fast in sharp corners and so on. I also own a completely tuned and weight reduced JCW MINI R53 beside my BMW 330d (E46). This on an other level in corners (1100 kilogram) and 257 hp at 7700 rpm. I see it, when fast and new cars drive tight behind me: no chance in corners. This is another world. Less weight is the important thing to be fast and not only to be fast in the straight line. And I also love manual gearboxes. Sorry, but new cars have nothing to offer for me what I want
@@chrisflorian4308 you prefer a diesel??? 😂😂 mate no offence but you need to expand your horizons & drive more cars. You speak of handling & performance but you drive an old e46??? New cars outperform older cars regardless of weight or how many buttons, which replace switches. If you want to control your car’s performance you need buttons. Newer cars are lighter than older cars so I don’t know why you think your old car isn’t a boat anchor. I’m 56 & have driven ALOT of cars & remember the years you say you prefer & while I admit there were some great cars back then they can compete with modern cars.
Remember it’s not all about the car but the driver also plays a massive part. I saw Ayrton Senna drive the wheels off a Honda Civic on a Grand Prix circuit & he made that car do things I never dreamed possible.
@@Gregsheppo66 Diesel are not slow. Special if you drive a completly modded 3 liter 6 cylinder diesel like in my case. My car is faster then a new Porsche Taycan 4S for example. A few weeks ago a had a battle against one on the Autobahn. My father also drives a tuned BMW M135 from 2013. This car is a lot slower around corners (much weight). A new BMW M4 weights over 1700 kilogram. This is a lot heavier then all the older M3 models. This is the same case with AMG, Porsche, Audi, VW,.... All the newer cars a lot heavier here in Germany. I also own a JCW MINI R53 (pretrol). And the quality from newer cars are in the most cases really not that good. Some of my friends own newer cars like AMG C43 and so one: only problems (paintshop, electronics, dashbord, particulate filter,..). Here in Germany excists tuned BMW M3 (E46) that outruns new Porsches on the Nürburgring. E46 are very good and tuned very fast cars in my opinion. My father owns this car since 2001 and since a few years I am driving it. No problems until now with this BMW 330d (E46). Have you ever driven a tuned BMW 330d (E46) with sports suspension, weight reduced and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires (semi slicks) ?
Great review of the AMG Mercedes, Ross. They really were a head of their time back in 2008. Still a great looking car. A quick 0-100 too. The owner has done good job keep it original and still looking like a new car. A real credit to the owner. Really enjoyed the review. Keep them coming.
Thank- you.
Couldn't agree more! Credit to the owner and fast is an understatement for the size and time period
For a heavy car, that thing flies!
Absolutely moves!
I'm owning e63w211 2006 production for the last 5 years. I've done 70 thousans km with only few issues. Shock absorber accelerate sensor and very common which is oil leaks. Apart of that it run perfectly. If you just want to have v8 and reliability go for lexus gs430. Probably that's the best compromise. Regarding to W211 obviously there are issues with this car like for example headblts. Mine one is still running on original ones with 162000km on clock but I decided to change them this year. If you go for dealer obviously it will be expensive. You need to have independent Mercedes mechanic.
How much did the Indy charge? Scared to pull the trigger on one of these because of the headbolts...
V8 GS is hard to find unfortunately
For those who owns w211 e class, they can tell you they really appreciate that clock.at least i do
Great review of a great car. A truly classy MB with a lot of muscle! Also appreciate you doing a real world acceleration test. A sub 5 sec 0-100kmh is fast.
Insanely fast for this class of sedan
I had a Brabus C63 from 2009 & it was the best car I’ve ever driven.
Wow 🤩 would love to see that
Hahaha no wonder it was so expensive even now it still kicks ass,looks great & sounds mint & bloody quick for a heavy car lol,brilliant vid loved it Mate.
Driven a few of these, proper beast and a full sleeper.
They absolutely fly
Beast of a car
Very beastly
Beautifully looked after Mercedes..As a W205 C250 owner I'm jealous
You and me both! Credit to the owner
What a lovely machine. You got to get your hands on a E60 M5 bro. Excellent job buddy.
That's the plan! Let’s hope I can find one!
Awesome car 🔥
We agree!
hi man love this review, can you please review the w211 e550
I’ll do my best
This or the older W211 E55 AMG? The M113k from all accounts is more reliable, but the M156 sounds way better. Back in the day, I baited one of these E63's into doing a pull on the highway one night. Holy mother of god it took off quick from a roll on at 100km/h...
The Supecrharged one is easier to get bulk power out of it cheaply. Although age related issues are the risk
This thing is crazy but I'd probably go for the M113K if I wanted reliability...
Though my pick would be a pre facelift E500, as they're much cheaper than the AMG's and even some of the Aussie stuff...
@@MartinJones123 You're not kidding. I just took a look on Carsales. Indeed the W211 E500's are cheap.
@@jrbuch Shh... Don't tell everybody lol
@Dominic Pace Yeah but if you just want a V8, the E500 is much cheaper...
Sounds good
One of my favourite amg models.
Nai ! Same steve
Absolutely Epic😈
Love it 👍🇦🇺🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s a classically styled sedan with a well made interior. The only issues are the head bolts (which you can fix) and the wooden steering. I’d like it in my garage.
I’d also love this 😈👏
Pure luxury. Those 0-100 factory claims are usually done in perfect conditions with no extra weight. It's the same when manufactures claim fuel economy figures. All tested and done in best case scenarios
2:52 the active bolster seat was already available on M5 e60 at first
Def the fastest car you can buy for 15k, and you gotta love that handbuilt engine too
Good cars
Awesome 😎 video Ross Reviews. I hope the Ford AU3 Falcon XR6 VCT in Melbourne comes within the next week.
To Ross Reviews
From Jordan’s car reviews
Patient my son
Fingers crossed! Will be soon
Love them, unfortunately I don't fit in the cabin of them like I do in a Holden. Seats don't go low enough!
It’s definitely a little more snug
hmm.. i think we need a W427 review next. Also would love to see a z-series GTO, and even a VT2 GTS.
I’m keeping my eyes open!
That Merc is quick. Have you ever driven a Ford Fiesta XR4? There not fast but are quite fun to flog around the city.
not yet but would love to review an XR4
just keep money aside for the snapped head bolts and worn cam and lifters and there was a recall on the sunroofs detaching
Yes definitely need some funds for maintenance
All cars need something at some time.
Some of the Mercs an BM's make our cars seem pretty slow. Look at the M5 competition 10.7 for the 1/4 thats amazingly quick.
Very true! But the price difference was massive lol
Great review of this car, but i haven't heard anything about how it handles around the corners....
Big heavy car but still can go hard around a track
Those red calipers are not factory, are they? If not, how much did they cost ya?
Ever notice the people complaining about the W211 M156 are the clapped out e55 dudes? I’ve only had to replace cam position sensors and engine and trans mounts.
Sorry, what Is that thing in the grill?
Is it not straight out of the c63..that m156 has more power due to the bigger throttle bodies 👍
Same engine essentially here that’s what I’m saying (we’ll know)
Wait till you review a W211 E500 5.5 litre 285kw or 388hp of horse power addiction
Apparently, if you add an Ak47 it makes it even faster
😎😎😎
This gen of e63 is RWD???
A quarter mil what? CAD? Definitely not USD
M5's dad
here is the thing if you cant get the e63 you can get the e55 it has a 5.4 v8 that has a kompressor (mercedes calls is like that german word) bye
👍👍👍💪💪💪
I have my 08’ E63 AMG with only 50K miles, I’m selling it for $29K
I’m the USA 🇺🇸 much cheaper
It’s not a quarter mil brand new haha it’s like $85k
They are $10k now
Not in Aus sadly
E500 5.5L Bargain for $16,000
Did this guy just say a quarter mil to buy
I’m Australia 🇦🇺
Yeah no... This wouldn't cost $250,000 when it came out.
In Australia it would 💀
$40k to buy, $40k to spend on repairs...
Not quite. Not too dissimilar to a similar aged HSV if you avoid shopping at Mercedes dealerships and use aftermarket brake rotors etc
Yet still a bargain....
Totally wrong. Up keep the car. Shop around for parts and it isn't as bad to own one
@@MrTroytroy what load of shit , most unreliable car I’ve ever owned ( C63 version) , brought the car with 80,000kms , by 100,000 I had spent more than I had payed for it on repairs for everything from minor electrical faults to major electrical faults & engine problems.
I now have a R35 gtr , brought with 50 k on clock , now 140 k , never had an issue. My wife has 2014 HSV R8 Clubsport , brought with 120 k on the clock , now has 230 k , never had an real issues. German cars are shit .
@@evil2rs so you had a bad one. Therefore all bad. Right. Makes perfect sense.
I'm still taking the E55 over the E63
Supercharged 😈
You're Australian in Australia so please talk Australian as in KW and NM and write the other stuff on the screen, great review otherwise
I typically do
@@RossReviewsau You did today mate, love your channel
@@RossReviewsau good on you ross. always talk in KW and NM. u da man!
if you downshift from 3800rpm then you’ll get that blip sound
