Thanks everyone!
The warranty was $4k
@Scottwl38agreed.
Reserve has been met.
@Vlad600selthanks, I have an accommodating wife. My reasons for selling this one: 1. I do my own wrenching, so the warranty isn't as 'valuable' 2. I like doing performance modifications and I would have likely voided the warranty on this one. 3. the silver one was a much better deal and has lower miles
@Vlad600selno. Clean NC title in hand.
@Apabondsit has no visual or olfactory indication that it has ever been smoked in.

@Apabondsnot that I am aware of
@Apabonds it has been for this engine. Some of the very early 2011 m156 engines still had the old headbolts. This one is past the 60,xxxx engine number cutoff.
Hi @apabonds Yes, there have been 3 before me...which seems pretty standard for a 10yo car. With the exception of Owner 2, who had it for about a year, All of them have been long term ownerships, so it's doesn't appear they were dumping the car due to an issue, especially with most of the owners using MB dealerships for maintenance.
In fortuitous timing, I just received notification that the front driver carbon spoiler has cleared customs from Germany and will be delivered tomorrow or saturday.
Morning everyone, happy to be here with y'all. Good luck to all the bidders! I'll be in and out of meetings until 3pm EST, but will respond to any comments as I can before then.
Good day all, a 5min video of the car on a fun section of road is being uploaded. At the end I open the sunroof to try to capture that amazing M156 sound a little better. It worked for a little bit....till I hit 3rd gear and the wind noise overpowered. And that faint fluttering is my strap on the back plastic part of the headrest, I tried to muffle it as best I could but it's the only way I could get the phone secured.

@Bweinno problem at all. Ask away! I have not had any services performed since owning it. The oil change was done at Carmax prior to me taking possession of it.
@Bweinwill do. Will likely be tomorrow though. Yes, my other one is a 2011.
@Bweinsure thing. Anything specific you are wanting to see?
@eosgoodHi , I do not have any service records outside of the Carfax Report. A PPI was done at Eurospec Automotive Services Center in Arden NC with zero issues reported, outside of a low voltage code for when the battery died because I left the interior light on while trailering. Because the service history didn't specifically say it was performed, they recommended a transmission fluid change and spark plugs. I ran a Xentry software report (The MB service software) on all the modules in the car and it came back with 0 errors. Let me know if you need anything else.
@Jdi3thanks, I've been loving my silver one, which has the drivers package. I've put air filters, long tube headers with midpipe, and a tune on it....wish it had the LSD this one has.
@zachmacfrom what I understand the warranty transfer is $50. Also, should you sell the car before the end of the warranty, they will prorate and refund you the difference. To be honest, it was a struggle to decide which E63 to keep as this is my favorite color but I do like to make performance modifications to my cars and my silver one was best suited to that. I knew I couldn’t leave well enough alone so I would likely have either voided the warranty or made things more difficult for myself if I had decided to keep this one. If you are looking for stress free ownership of a high performance m156 MB, you will never do better than this car. The odds of a low mileage/well taken care of m156 e63 popping up are pretty high honestly, but the odds of a low mileage/well maintained m156 e63 with the p30 package are pretty small, the odds of a well maintained with p30 option in this color AND a bumper to bumper inclusive warranty popping up again….pretty dang close to zero since Carmax doesn’t buy 10yo euro’s anymore.
@zachmac….short answer: I value my marriage to my wife.. Long answer: I’ve been in the m113k platform for a bit and wanted to try the m156 drivetrain (I own 3 other MB’s). Doing all my own service, I wanted a 2011 so I wouldn’t have to deal with headbolts, I also wanted a non-black, and low miles as I tend to drive my cars a lot and own them forever. I looked for 6-8months and nothing popped up that met the criteria. A silver one finally showed up in September that I sent a deposit on and, literally the day after I got home with it, this car showed up in VA Carmax. So I did the only reasonable thing…I bought another e63 to see which one I wanted keep. It took about 1.5mo to get it transferred to my local Carmax in October. I have settled on keeping the silver one, so this is a catch and release. The reserve is literally the amount of money I have tied up into it (purchase, warranty, all 4 wheel refinish, and some cosmetic things). The same as you would spend as if you bought it from Carmax and fixed the very few things it had. Most important to the story, the Gray one is taking up my wife’s parking spot in the garage….so i get the daily ‘when is it gonna go’ question…so please bid early and bid often. It’s an amazing car that’s in great shape….I have really high standards and this one met them handedly.
Hi @wilhit10, thanks for asking. It's just a not-so-great photograph. Because of the overcast weather I had to shoot it super dark and then increase the exposure so the 'brighter' areas got blown out and look discolored. The glove box is lined with black felt like material so it's super hard to shoot to begin with so it is also blurry. I assure you that it is not stained or in any state of disrepair...any negative appearance is solely due to my poor shooting decisions there.
Hello all, as we reach the final days of bidding please let me know if you have any questions or need additional details on the car.
