Why I bought a Mercedes-AMG E53 station wagon: Ownership experience

If anyone is looking to buy this in India, my only suggestion would be to go with the smaller wheel size offered.

BHPian Sting recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I didn’t realise there's an E-AMG thread on Team Bhp!

I’ve owned an E53 Wagon/Estate for some time now, I wanted the:

  1. Performance of an AMG
  2. The comfort of the daily driver and
  3. Space on an SUV/touring friendly

It’s a wonderful sedate car to drive daily, is well equipped (air suspension, drive assist and safety package, heads up display, Mercedes me connect etc) and has a 455bhp mild hybrid 3.0-litre straight-6 that, at my age, has everything you need when you’re driving down the European roads including the Autobahn.

I had it factory de-badged, so usually stays under the attention radar.

The only change I’ve made is to switch from RFTs to Michelin PS4S UHP tires.

If anyone is looking to buy this in India my only suggestion would be to go with the smaller wheel size offered. This is a fantastic car to own and hopefully with improving infrastructure can be put to its proper use.
