Pros

Tremendous M156 engine in the C63 AMG
Fewer chassis-related problems than W203
Good 0.25 drag coefficient

Great E63 AMG with either M156 or M157
Good 0.25 drag coefficient
Good towing capacity
Better reputation for quality

Rather good looking
Good safety ratings

Cons

Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
Getting addicted to 4Matic and diesel

Arguably less elegant than W211
MacPherson strut front suspension

Basic suspension setup
Not the best build quality
The wagon version looked better
