This 2018 Mercedes-AMG E43 was sold new by Tafel Motors Inc. of Louisville, Kentucky and shows previous registration in North Carolina and Georgia with the current owner having purchased it as a CPO vehicle and serviced with the dealer. The exterior is finished in Polar White (149) over Chestnut Brown Nappa Leather (864) with power provided by an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter Bi-turbo V6 driving all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. This example comes fitted with a Renntech lowering module and a HTT Renntech ECU tune. Notable options include Ash-Tree Open-Pore Natural Wood Trim, dual panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, a rear view camera, comfort box in the trunk, a power rear sunshade, Dynamic LED Headlamps, Keyless-Go, Airmatic suspension, Burmester premium sound, and Light Package. This AMG E43 is being offered by the selling party in Georgia with 36k miles on the odometer, two keys, factory literature, Renntech upgrades, a clean Carfax, and a clean Georgia title.
The car is finished in Polar White (149) with the AMG Styling Package that provides the Sport AMG body kit from the factory. This E43 is also equipped with chrome door handle inserts, LED logo projectors, a rear view camera with parking pack which includes a surround view camera as well as auto-dimming driver’s side and rear view mirrors. Also included are the Dynamic LED Headlamps and polished metal accents on the bumpers and grill. Paint Protection Film covers the front bumper, hood, and front quarter panels and was paint-corrected with a G-Techniq ceramic coating at the same time. An optional dual panoramic sunroof is fitted in the roof with fabric retractable shades.
This E43 comes equipped with staggered 20” satin bronze Vossen wheels which wear Michelin PS4S tires measuring 245/35 for the front and 275/30 for the rear with 2018 date codes and good tread. The wheels are all in perfect condition with no curb rash or scratches. The four-piston front brakes are finished in French racing blue paint with black AMG lettering. Rear brakes are also painted in blue. The car is lowered with Renntech’s Hand-Held Suspension Module which links to the Airmatic system. The owner of Butler Tire here in Atlanta oversaw all of the Renntech modifications and dialed in the suspension, wheels, and tires for the owner. The front wheels have spacers attached to get the stance right. The rears have no spacers.
The interior of this E43 AMG is trimmed in Chestnut Brown Perforated Nappa Leather (864) upholstery with Ash-Tree Open-Pore Natural Wood Trim accenting the dashboard and door panels. The car includes heated and ventilated front seats as well as the top of the line Burmester 3D sound, 12.3” display with smartphone integration, 64-color ambient lighting, a power rear sunshade, an Air Balance package and comfort box in the trunk.
The gauge cluster contains a configurable digital interface that displays vehicle information in various driver-selected designs. Pictured is the ‘Classic’ and ‘Progressive’ design showing a speedometer on the left and tachometer on the right with a digital trip and odometer in the center which currently reads 36k miles. The flat-bottom steering wheel is wrapped in black Nappa leather and has power controls for both tilt and telescope as well as multifunction controls for the instrument cluster.
Power is provided by an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter Bi-turbo M276 V6 engine which produces 396 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 384 lb-ft of torque from just 2,500 rpm. That power is then sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission which uses an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel drive system capable of sending up to 69 percent of that torque to the rear wheels. With the Renntech ECU tune engaged, Renntech quotes 416 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The selling dealer notes that routine maintenance was performed in March 2023 and just had an oil service from the dealer – no issues were flagged by the dealer after the post service inspection.
This car comes with a clean CarFax history showing linear mileage updates along with consistent service at Mercedes-Benz and specialty shops. The car is being sold with a clean Georgia title. The selling party has included both keys, a custom fitted car cover, all-weather rubber floor mats for the front, as well as original manufacturer’s literature, first aid kit, and spline lugs.
The M276 was one of the toughest, most sporty V6 engines they ever produced in its naturally aspirated form. Bolt a few turbos on it and the powerplant becomes quite healthy and meaty. With turbos comes massive tuning capabilities and reputable tuners such as Renntech capitalized on. Paired with the 9-speed transmission and some hot software, the W213 E43 AMG is quite the pocket rocket. The light, accurate steering gives the car a flickable nature in traffic or on a twisty backroad since it isn’t lugging around the heavy 4.0 liter M177 V8. This example with sticky Michelin PS4S tires, light Vossen wheels, the Renntech HHT tune and lowering module all included in the sale makes for a tempting bid of a German sport sedan that will fly on a twisty road, be dead quiet and eat miles on a road trip, and provide calming daily driving qualities with all the tech and Burmester premium sound system. The low miles and superb cosmetic condition certainty aid in the appeal of this example.

I have known the seller of this car for over 40 years. His father sold Mercedes-Benz vehicles new in the '70s and was very active in the local Mercedes club. The seller has continued that tradition, selling high-line, pre-owned luxury cars, primarily Mercedes, BMW and Porsche for as long as I have known him. He is also active in the clubs, having served as President of both the M-B and Porsche clubs at one time or another. I tell you all this to say he is VERY particular about his own personal car and knows how to find, sort and maintain the highest quality examples. This E43 looks, rides and drives like a brand new vehicle. You would have to look for a very long time to find another one anywhere near as nice as this one. When you add in the custom Renntech and other bits, it is pretty much a 1 of 1 car.
