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.

Cool Car Stuff I Buy on Amazon amzn.to/2k606u1 - Авто та транспорт
What's the next AMG car I should buy? I'm thinking V12.
Just buy an AMG GT 😂
Buy a w124 e300 diesel manual swap a zf 6 and turbo charge the engine with a performance pump
S63 amg
S65 or SL65
CL 600
Such a nice E63. Such a clean build.
I love it. She's on her way to Arizona now
You could see the genuine emotion when you said "gotta go back to the tunnel". Simply awesome.
I'm in my 50's and have always done my own car maintenance. I bought my first Mercedes last year due to your videos giving me the confidence to own one. I chose carefully without going too modern/complicated and am very happy with my 2011 SLK 55 AMG (R171) in my last 11-months of driving. Thanks Alex.
Thats Awesome! Are you still liking the car ?
I like how in your videos even though they're long and you do a lot of talking, you say a lot of interesting stuff and it is not waffle like most car channels. Super great car btw. I'm a BMW guy myself but I'd get a nice AMG any day if I could.
"Super great car btw. I'm a BMW guy myself but I'd get a nice AMG"
Super great car btw. I'm not a car enthusiast myself but I'd get a nice AMG* ftfy
@@jjmmjj9999 Someone is a little salty I see
@@vviiper nope, BMW and car enthusiast don't belong in the same sentence, sorry.
you know,i dont know what thats guys issue is,they are all great cars,each with something that draws the fans to each of them,if you a real car nut,who knows that there is no perfect car,they all bloody great cars in their own right. im not an Audi guy,used to work there though,but there are some i wouldnt have a problem having. lkike AMG(BIG NUT FAN) or BVMW M-CARS,THEY GRETA CARS. HE CAN JUMP OFF A HIGH CLIFF SOMEWHERE,DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE,IF YOU LIKE A CAR,STUFF THE REST AND GO FOR IT!!!!!
@@jjmmjj9999 You're going to have to explain yourself because you honestly sound like a salty loser
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).
Why 320CDI? There were E200 CDI and E220 CDI too, just go all out if you want a sleeper.
It was the E350 then E250 Bluetec in America. That’s the only one we got here that year
He said "Mustang crowd killer" hahahahahahhaha that's awesome.
I thought Mustangs killed their own crowds . . . .
Glad to know I’m not the only one who drives back and forth under the same bridge to hear my exhaust lol
red95gts oh def not bro I have a loud ass srt8 charger and I terrorize bridges, neighborhoods, and car alarms 😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
I need one of these in my life
Still listed on their website. $34,888 is a steal. Come on Lotto!
i am not familiar with this chassis or engine i was looking for a e60 m5 and e55 amg do you think this is a good steal?
@Dean Gibbons why hasn't anyone bought it. I really like it aswell as the interior
Master Of Dizaster I’m not a fan of the interior or color, kinda bland imo, but for the price who cares it’s too cheap! Wish I had money for it 😢😢😢
@@TheTAEclub it's a good price for sure. Also avoid E60 M5s unless you like rebuilding engines.
@Dean Gibbons most likely but it's still on their website and he said he will post the link if they didnt end up buying it (guy who flew from arizona). I emailed them. I'm very interested
The best part about your videos is that its packed to the brim with content. 23 minutes may seem a bit long but nope! Every single one is 10/10. Love your vids, cant wait till 1M!
Dude this means so much. I put a lot into every video and keeping people interested is always a top priority. It can be tough on technical repair videos but I try. Thanks again
@@LegitStreetCars It is awesome to see and support content that is done with a passion, and this is very evident in your videos. Your rapid growth is not coincidental, for me these are the most entertaining videos in my sub box. Maybe there could be some E46 content in the future too?! Thanks Alex!
~ Dobson
He os over 1 mill subs just to let you know 🫡🫡🫡
Alex You have found your passion and it is so much fun to watch you enjoy yourself and make great content for us.
I am a simple man I see mercedes-benz I hit like button
So you're technically a fan boy. Ok.
The like button in my Mercedes Benz is behind the throttle! 😍
Is that, like, broken? You gotta replace it? Alex, you're hilarious! LOL
Hahaha funny guy Alex 😂😂😂 going the dealer and playing dumb
what a mad lad haha :D
I have a w212 E350 and I have always dreamed of owning a E63. Love youre collection of Mercedes!
Ditto!
Good video, entertaining to hear the sound of this engine. Yes, it's an ad for the dealership , but it's a great unicorn of a car and having a dealer granting you all this access and a lift, it's worth it and as your viewer, THANK YOU
What a beast!
Another winter with Alex ...keep doing great work !
Really enjoy your informative commentary Alex! Helps further the understanding of my '13 W204 C63
Great style videos! Please keep showing us dealerships that sell these cars around Chicagoland and include detailing shops and shops that help with maintenance/tune/performance upgrading shops! Love your content! Thank you from a fellow chicago'ian!
Great video. Real informative. Keep them coming
Your knowledge on cars is impressive...always enjoy your videos!
Love the used/older AMG content.
Great video Alex @legitstreetcars. Nobody else on UA-cam is showcasing these AMG monsters. And in you doing so you keep fostering my love / hate relationship with these cars. Love em when they work correctly, hate em when they always break. I really wish I could square away my ML55 but that trans is killing me. Probably gonna sell it.
Man that E63S is Wicked FAST... loven those long tube header sounds in the tunnel sounds so Sic. love your video.
Please don't get rid of C63, it sounds so awesome 🙏🙏
Amazing vid. My boys and I watch all your stuff and drool over what we see.
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.
My shop, D'Antonio Automotive in West Chester, Pa did the majority of the mods on that car over the last few years. Glad to see it's still being loved!
Livin The Dream, Alex...Love Your Finds!
Love the videos!! You convinced me to upgrade from 1999 w210 AMG (white one) now
Looking at a 04 s55. Thanks for all your videos and information!! This is my AMG fix videos! 🤤 💯💯💯💯
That was a great video Alex! Man you could really see the drop in the back end when she hooked up! That had to be one awesome test drive. Superchargers are great. Even my little C230K is like a little go cart. Wish i could bump the stage on it.
Eargasmic!
Alex, looks like you need to change your shorts after the test drive! LOL!
This car is quite the monster! I want!
Wow!!! That is one helluva beast. And, I thought that driving a friend's new GranSport Corvette and doing 65-95 in less than a couple of seconds while in track mode was fast. That Renntech is quite the ultimate sleeper, likely capable of surprising a LOT of Supercars. While it's very quick in a straight line, I'd like to see a test on a track... like maybe Road America in Wisconsin? And, no "Clarkson-drifting-thru-corners", but nailing them for a fast time.
Good show, Alex. Loved the feigned newbie-like chat with the service advisor at the dealer. I'm surprised the guy could hold back the laughter.
Hey mate
i have a question ,does the w204 chassis have same engine bay ( engine mount emplacment) for *pre* and *post* facelift ?
This is exactly what I was looking to buy thanks for such a great video!!!
E63s AMG is already a beast stock form. Can’t imagine how fast it is now. Love this vid.
E63s is all wheel drive though, with a turbo V8. A much better car than this one.
I just started watching today and you already got me hooked 🤙🏽💪🏽
Hay man I been watching your videos from the beginning. And I just bot a really nice s55 amg . and the light for the ABC flashes wen I hit a bump. I did a bounce test both rear and front the rear bouncing an the front is kinda stiff . do you think its a accumulators.?
Alex, just wanted to say congratulations on 250k subscribers - you deserve it. I have watched more and more of your videos over the last year or so and the last 2 videos on the auction find Renntech cars made me hit that subscribe button finally. 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. Anyway, thanks for what you do, and I think it's awesome that you took a risk on doing something you love, and that is turning into success for you. Wish you continued success, and look forward to seeing more videos!
Thanks so much Mike!! Appreciate the kind words and stay tuned. I may have a modified RS7 on the channel soon
I wish I had $35k laying around. That thing is awesome,a german Charger hellcat. Whoever is shopping for hellcat Charger should get this. It’s better and cheaper!
Ironic that they both have 6.2L engines.
@@6z754 no they dont, they have 6.2s, 392’s are 6.4s
So Ive been following you for alittle over 5 months
Do you have any experience with older 97 model c series Mercs? I acquired a C280 from my dad months ago. I havent seen much of anything except the existence of the w202 C36 and how it was the same engine just bored out with some other changes and different trans. What can I do to my C280?
VRP said is releasing a supercharge system. have VRP SC installed on your c63..
Another awesome car and video!!! Also noticed the parking lot numbers have numbers 156 and 157, like engine numbers m156 & m157
It’s actually amazing how fast an uncorked & tuned M156 is, add a blower my God it’s incredible!
Nice video. That car is sick! The engine bay looks great, it looks like it came from the factory with that way.
What an AWESOME video!!! Loved,loved loved....seeing that monster.
😂😂🤦🏿♂️ bro you should go to the dealership and play dum and get their reaction because that was funny love it
Wow! That E63 sounds wicked. Renntech will be upgrading my CLS 63 AMG transmission real soon. Awesome content! Keep em coming!👍
Wish I knew this was out there! Thinking about ordering a new E class 6.3 AMG wagon - but something like this has more power for a lot less money. I suspect the $80k difference will be chewed up in repairs and tire replacements! Great vid with little BS, refreshing. Subscribed.
Fantastic video man. I love “sleepers” but that beast is so bold it may not count as a sleeper😂😂
I am in the market for an sl55 amg 2008, I watch your videos (they are great, by the way) and see you using a Launch OBD reader X431 Diagun. Knowing your proclivity for being the ultimate professional on all things related to the SL55 I assumed you felt this would be a good choice for this car. However, in one video you mentioned it may not be the best choice. What do you recommend?
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time is the vehicle still available
Love this channel its refreshing to see other builds besides dodge chevy and ford
love the video, keep it up!
Your content is absolutely 🔥💯
I love these special MB AMG vids you’ve been doing lately...they are my favorite. Getting to see what’s out there and what is possible (if your loaded and could afford it) is really cool to watch. Another solid vid from one of my fav car channels on UA-cam, keep up the great work!
I'm a BMW n54 owner but always watch your videos!!! Love those engines
I have an 01 c240, just did a break job on the whole car. Changed the sensors and I'm still getting a code for the break lining does this require the break's to be reset?
Your passion for performance really came through in this video. Nice.
what year do they start putting Limited Slip Differentials in all C63's? or do you have to get a perf pack one regardless of year?
Just bought myself an slk 230 as a daily, and day off car. Any suggestions for maint items?
13:00 This sounds like and angry T rex on steroids. Brutal
Awesome video yet again Alex!
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 ua-cam.com/video/N0uGo6g4TFQ/v-deo.html 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?
That car sounds angry when you put the gas to the floor! 🔝 I love that sound 💯
-You've got supercharged engine.
-What do you mean?
hahaha im dead :D love the channel !
How long is it going to take for the auto transmission to blow with all that power? The old 5-speed in the E55 is super strong (albeit slow) and can take the torque but I don't remember if the 7-speed can do more than this NA engine puts out
My butt dyno agrees part killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Holy cow! I thought an E550 of that generation was wild. Thats INSANE!
Alex looked like a kid in a candy store in this car
Best intro ever!
That thing needs some drag radials. Love that stock exhaust with longtubes. Sounds great!
Sounds badass
Awesome video, Alex! Damn, that's so much bang for the buck! BTW, I see a supercharger in the future for your C63.🔮💪 Gotta love those poop-eating grins.😁
Love all the videos man! If you ever decide to sell your 2003 e55 amg let me know I’ll fly out there. Keep up the videos.
Hey Alex, I saw you change the bushing on few cars and you say that the car needs to be lowered before tightening them up if not they’d stay the way they are and that causes ware faster.
I have a C280 and she’s super low, how the heck can I put it down then tighten the control arm 😅😅
If you have a tip I’d appreciate that thank you 🙂
Man, I wish I was ready to get a different car. That car is a steal at roughly $35k with those mods, exactly my price range and what I'd be looking for. Would've jumped on a plane from Philly to go grab this at that price.
That is one serious sedan. Luv it.
Paint and detail on it looks great.Polished and ceramic coated?
Good info Bro. My 94' Celica does the same thing, tire squealing, uncontrollable when I press down on the accelerator. I was totally going to tow it to the dealer.
Hey Alex what mic do you use?? Audio is great with your channel always
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. I have the luxury and 507 HP whenever I need or want to have some fun.🤣👍
I've been following this channel since the trans am days. But I gotta say this car is def one of my favorites. I wish you would buy it to see more vids of this beast..
I had a 2009 C63 with P30, then a 2010 E63 (no P30, open rear) and then a 2012 E63 w/P30 and optional posi rear. The C63 was not bad power wise with 451 hp out of the box. The M156 E63 was definitely nicer with the MTC trans and launch control but I didn’t feel like it was much faster than the C63. Then I stepped up to the 2012 E63 biturbo. It was hands down faster than the 2010 E63 but I still decided to get the RENNtech tune which brought it the power up to 669 hp 774 tq. I can tell you this made the car insane and anyone who went in it was terrified. I would really love to see that blown E63 with the run against a rear wheel drive E63 biturbo with a tune only.
Can I buy your E63 bi turbo?
@@AssetHunter sorry I don’t have it anymore. Some guy in Chicago bought it from me. I looked up the VIN a few years ago and it was ghettoed out so I doubt you’d want it anyway
trolling the mercedes technician was hilarious, you should do that with your c63 come in and say why the heck is this thing so loud? i think its got an exhaust leak, lol
Your C sounds so much nicer than that E. Also, I never realised the grille doesn't lift up with the bonnet/hood on that model E !
2015 e63s amg 5.5l biturbo engine with higher miles. Any major issues to be aware of? Thinking of purchasing one. Thanks in advance for the help.
You and your awesome channel have me loving amg mercedes and wanting to buy one so bad!!! Keep making awesome vids
they put this out with an open diff... that's terrifying
19:28 that is the way that I feel whenever I drive 2019 CT6 that is tuned, exhaust supercharges and has really grippy tires. That car legit scares me
can you talk about how to upgrade rear ends to limited slip like this one has - vendors/price/difficulty/etc?
The grin on the face of the Mercedes mechanic when he starts........hahaha !!!
Lol "a loud whining noise under the hood"😂😂😂😂
Colton Ratcliffe maybe someone trapped Greta Thunberg in there
Am I the only one who prefers the"grandpa" interior than the simple black one?
Nice car, you're such a lucky guy!
No.
No... You're not alone... Looks really good in Black with Grandpa interior, I would have loved tan or caramel though
I’ve always been a fan of brown/tan/etc. interiors. It’s easier to pull off the all black interior, but I think the brown has a higher potential when it’s done correctly. The detail shows more in the brown, which can be good or bad depending on the condition and how old it is
Aly Ozunu brightens it up. Feels much roomier. Depending on the car for me. Personally have a car with red and one with black interiors.
Black interior is the worst choice.
Instant max volume at the second tunnel pass🤣🔥🔥
This car is amazing. Beautiful, luxurious and fast. The sound is incredible!! Love your channel Alex!
I used to say it sounded like a Dragon...
What you think of a roots type blower on that motor instead of the twin screw that weistec sells
Supenda! Io vorrei comprare una CL500 o CLS amg ma qua in italia ad avere più di 250cv paghi il superbollo... stavo valutando una classe E come la tua ma in versione 250cdi coupe, me la consigli? 🤔
You must try any Mercedes SUV AMG 63.
Something about the ride hight with all that power. I am a big fan of AMG 63s and I enjoy the stories and experiences. Thanks for taking time to go look at this beast!!!
