AMG made lots of E63s from 2007-2009. True, they are the car to have on a track, I even think that Car & Driver preferred the E63 to the M5 e60 overall.
However - airmatic problems etc. are easy to fix. Head bolts and camshafts problems are not easy and cheap to fix on the 63 cars. If you want the 63 you should get a warranty.
I love the the way the w211 E55 is setup, it's not a harsh riding cornering weapon, but rather a smooth highway cruiser.
