The auction listed this Renntech Mercedes as a normal E63 AMG but it was hiding $40,000 in modifications! Under the hood is a $12,000 Weistec supercharger and the car was sent out to Renntech for their Stage 3 performance package that sells for $22,000 alone! This sleeper AMG Car has a lot more and was sold for normal trade-in value! In this video, we go for a totally normal test drive with no WOT pulls at all, we take it to Mercedes to complain about stuff and I lift the car to see what else this 2010 E63 is hiding. Oh and I show you a real repair order from the Mercedes dealership that will make you laugh. One day I'd love to supercharge my C63 AMG and driving this car definitely helped make that decision.

[@famus801]

Thats Awesome! Are you still liking the car ?

[@apexseal2811]

It'll be nice to put a 320CDI badge on the rear, replace AMG bumpers with stock W212's and maybe a re-routed exhaust to reduce the noise. In this case it will definitely be a sleeper, capable of beating a V10 R8 (assuming you are able to get traction).

[@TopiasSalakka]

Why 320CDI? There were E200 CDI and E220 CDI too, just go all out if you want a sleeper.

Not as cool as this E63 but still a pleasant surprise. Bought it from a Buick dealer for $30K, they had no idea what was under the hood.

Mercedes supposedly upgraded the issues in later years. I have a 2014 C63 507 Edition with the cam adjuster rattle. I spoke with Tasos Machastos and he stated that he still sees later years like mine with issues. He said they still have the cam adjuster rattle issue, the lifters sticking, camshafts pitting and/or rounding out. The head bolt issue was the only thing fixed. I wish they had fixed all the isssues cause I love this car its a beast and so much fun to drive. There are not many daily driven cars that can beat it.

Not only that though, but you do a great job in your videos - very good quality, no B.S. You seem like a cool down to earth humble guy and I can appreciate that, there's some youtubers out there obviously that are very showy/etc but I like how you keep it down to earth. I am more of an Audi fan (was a dealer tech for 5 years) but love pretty much all cars especially euro cars. I was about 13 or so when the W210 E55 came out and that sparked my love for AMG cars though! Would still love to have one of those.

[@StormCentre88]

Part 1 15:45 - you are correct to an extent. The M156/M159 were not that reliable and were marred by what I call suspicious factory faults but (unlike the M157) their cranktrain was pretty stout up until you were pushing 900HP+ through them. Any more than that and then you would run into problems like spun main and/or journal bearings - or the conrods would either bend, break and or let go. Even though they definitely have reliability issues and probably have the worst reliability reputation; I don't know if the M156/M159 are the least reliable AMG/MB V8 engines - because there's been a few doozies from the factory when it comes to faults and planned obsolescence; like the M157 and to a lesser (but still noticeable) extent M113. The M133'a had their fair share of issues (or shall we say planned obsolescence) with their oil chains, lubrication systems, poor/unnecessary "quality" o-ring in between the scavenge pipe line and pump housing from the factory. These 2 items alone could be fused together causing issues or alternatively a copper or more suitable/durable o-ring could be used as a simple/reliable fix - but it wasn't. The oil strainer pipe does not bother to feature a strainer on the end of the scavenge pump line despite the fact that it serves as the main oil pickup for the oil pump and therefore the entire engine. Please email me if you want a photograph that shows you how this looks from the factory. This designed fault ensures m/any metal particles that have made their way into the sump (from, say, the below-mentioned oil chain issue) will have a greater chance of being picked up by the scavenge pump line and then being pushed back into the M113’s lubrication system. AMG and/or MB should and do know better. But doing the right thing earns the stealership less money on rebuilds. The o-ring that is installed in between the scavenge pipe line and pump housing from the factory (is not required by design and it) breaks down, crumbles and then can destroy the cranktrain by way of facilitating the oil pump to severely aerate the oil and/or drop pressure. The result is often spun crank-train journal bearings; oil pressure starvation to the bottom/top end; and/or a thrown/bent rod. Anyone that has pulled apart a used M113 (one of the more reliable AMG/MB V8's) will attest to the fact that the oil chain almost always touches the block and grinds it out; with all grindings/filings falling straight into the sump for the aforementioned scavenge pipe - that features no oil strainer - to pick up. Most M113’s with 100K - 150K on them will (behind the timing cover) also show significant grooves as a result of the chain rubbing on the main short block assembly; and with respect to this please also see my other/above comments in relation to the scavenge pump and o-ring shortfalls. Part of the problem is the chain tensioner, as they usually break and/or do not hold up to what might be considered reasonable wear circumstances for even a Japanese engine - let alone an AMG/MB V8 . Please email me if you want to see the photographs of this issue. M113 Crankshaft Sensor; if the crankshaft sensor can't reliably detect where the radius of the crankshaft is pointing (and relay that to the ignition system) then it and/or the ignition system will be unable to know what cylinder is about to require the spark to initiate the combustion process and/or power stroke; and then the engine wont start - or if it does it won't run smoothly. It’s not uncommon for M113’s to intermittently start, run for a while, and then stop; and a faulty crankshaft sensor can be one reason why. If the engine has done more than 70K and/or is not new then replace the crankshaft sensor straight away - even if it has not showed any problematic signs - as it doesn’t always handle multiple heat cycles very well, particularly in climates with large temperature swings like Canada. M113 Transmission Cooling System; flawed due to the fact that, for some M113/M113K’s it is also a part of the main cooling system for both the engine/supercharger (M113K) and as such if the main radiator gets damaged then it isn’t just the engine that gets hot - the transmission and supercharger cooling systems also do too; which in turn can play funny games with the engine’s ECU, and potentially overheat your entire engine to the point where the pistons score the bore and/or the cranktrain is starved of lubrication/oil. M113K Supercharger and Related Mechanical Systems; there are a few supercharger issues that plague most M113K’s and they usually relate to the tensioner/serpentine system, the supercharger pulley bearing, and sometimes the pulley itself. This (the tensioner system and supercharger pulley bearings) is usually where that squealing noise comes from that often happens when M113’s start up; and it usually persists for a few minutes before fading away as the belt/pulley assembly warms up and provides the required traction increase. M113 Cooling System(s); the entire cooling circuit (intercooler, transmission cooler, and radiator) of the M113 is flawed and will only remain operable and completely free from problems for people that rarely drive their car and/or live in cold climates like Greenland and Sweden/Norway. The solution is a separate dedicated cooling system for the transmission, supercharger, and engine. I would completely replace the transmission cooling system. Depending on various things including what country the car was built for; some M113K’s had shared cooling systems meaning that if the main radiator was damaged then it wasn’t just the engine that got hot - the transmission and supercharger cooling systems boiled over too, as they were still a part of the same system. It’s an utterly flawed design approach that brought many a tear to an owners eye when they received the repair bill - whilst earning MB stealerships a lot of money. The best (and in my opinion only) to the problem solution is to fit separate aftermarket transmission and supercharger air-water intercoolers. You want those supercharger intake temperatures as cool as possible and that's almost impossible to achieve when the engine, transmission, and supercharger cooling systems, are all on one circuit. M113 Main Seal; the rear main seal on the M113 is often problematic, costly, leaking, and costly; particularly if you take the car back to the dealership and they repair it. Rarely does the seal last beyond 150K without developing some leak and/or deformity; and when you consider what I have said about the lubrication system it is probably not a surprise. M113 Valve Cover Gasket; usually leaks at some time. These above/below problems are not cheap to fix. As such fitting a dedicated/external transmission oil cooler and a new/reliable pump is a good idea. If you look at my posts here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGHYeKJsnJmHfLM you will see a list of the problems associated with the M157. Sure not every M157 engine develops all these faults but for $100K + luxury car they should not be happening at all in an MB/AMG at the low mileages that some of them exhibit. Especially considering that Chevrolet can make a (similarly sized 6.2 litre or even a 5.3 Litre) V8 that lasts for years and doesn't have these kinds of major problems with the first 2 years of ownership; unless you abuse them. So, why cant MB/AMG?

Damm Alex that’s a super nice and clean car! I thought that you bought it tho! Great video and keep em coming!🐟

I wouldn’t bother with the weistec blower, the Magnusson one is more efficient and costs way less, about 7500 for the “tuner” kit

My AMG fishtails when I mash the gas pedal. What the hell is wrong with it?! 😂👌🏽

Thank you so much for showing this car - precisely the upgrades i am thinking of doing to mine in the future so now i know it will all work before guessing and spending the money.

That’s a fraction of the price one of those would sell for in Australia.
