Some folks had asked for pics, so here they are. 3 weeks into S63 ownership so it was time to take a few pics in the garage. First week the ABC Malfunction light came on - $4k, 2nd week a broken strut while it was in for the ABC issue $2k, 3rd week the Nav stopped working - $2k for new control module fix and today it was in for the XM radio since I nor the salesman was ever able to get it to work.

4.5 hours later they realized that the XM module needed replacing. Have no idea how much that cost but all was covered under warranty. And I thought my 993 would cost a lot to maintain! I am SO glad you guys recommended me getting the extended warranty for 5 yrs/60k miles. Haven't paid a dime to get anything fixed and they even topped off the oil today for free when that light went on yesterday and gave me a new battery for my extra key which is dead. And they gave me a nice MB coffee mug and AMG mats since everything has been a bit of a hassle.

I'll probably go back to BMW in 4.5 years when this warranty has 6 months left on it. I could never own this car out of warranty. I'd like to get a BMW B7 that's about 4 yrs old at that time (w/an extended warranty of course).

The whole front end was 3M'd by the original owner (up to the windshield)












Decided to keep all the badges and front hood ornament (Star) for now...




Getting a free top off of oil at the dealer. Never even looked under the hood till today.


Guess I won't be working on this

I truly don't see any point of owning a car that breaks down that much if i's not italian.

How many miles are on the S63?

I loved MBZ's for years but everything broke. I think you'll like the B7...

If you want to drive up together let me know! I just have to make a quick stop in York PA on the way to pick up my uncle.

Also, PM me your phone # again so we can meet at Hershey, at least

Unless it's raining, I'll be there for sure.
