E63??? vs E92. . .
Like E63 AMG Mercedes? I would go with that all day for sure. 507hp

E63 6 series coupe or convertable . . . I would go with a nice modded E92 or E93 for sure

E92. I don't even want to know what you pay for gas there, but its a big factor when deciding which vehicle to purchase.

E63 is more baller, more bling bling status. E92 is more car-enthusiast-ish IMHO

I think you've already found the answer to you're question?? It says you drive a Lexus IS 250, and you have a E92 on the way.

But personally, an E92 is by no means a "weekend car". It's a day-to-day car. Get the 6 series, ONLY if you can afford it. No point in leasing or owning one if all you're going to do is use it 2/7 days each week.

Get the 6 if you can afford it, the car is so damn good looking and so powerful. Will you be leasing? If you're planning on buying the car and keeping it for a while, I would hold out for the ttV8 400 horses/450 torque to makes its way into that car...

are you considering a normal E92 or an M3? That is a much fairer comparison I think. Between normal E92 and E63 i'd go with the 6 in a heart beat.

Good luck shopping!

I am considering between 645 and 335. Does the 6 consume that much gasoline?

I would get the post-FL e63, but not pre-FL (looks outdated imo).

My dad gets about 18mpg in his 645Ci and he doesn't drive that aggressively.

By the way the e63 feels much less sporty and far more detatched just so ya know.

Well...

1) By detatched I mean that when you drive the car, you just don't feel as connected to the road, and the engine feels very isolated. The ride is much smoother, but the steering and the noise is all very different. It's refined, but at the same time a bit less exciting.

2) The exterior/interior recieved "minor" tweaking as is usual of facelifts, but I always seem to think of them as MAJOR improvements.
-The front and rear bumpers have been tweaked to flow better.
-The lights have recieved updated LED tech and have removed the amber.
-The wheels look better.
-The interior is made of better quality materials and flows better.
