most of the time! I went to the AMG website to compare the E55`s weight to the E63s and it`s factory weight was 30lbs lighter for the E63 compared to the E55`s.

then again AMG might saying so for markeeting purposes. Its hard to believe them as well. There are different ways of meassure a car and all scales arent showing exact. I wonder where Edmunds got the weight numbers from.
45 pound heavier or 30 pounds lighter, it doesnt matters really, its not much. Its more important that they are nice cars to drive or ride.

I agree. If the engine is lighter thats going to improve the unsprung weight figures which is a good thing!

This has to do with transitional weight of heavier components, it`s physics.
