i had an '04 SL55 and had serious problems with the ABC suspension. the vehicle would lean to one side within hours of turning off the engine and the problem could not be fixed. i took delivery of an SL63 two months ago and after 1,500 miles, i am happy to report there have been no problems whatsoever. i am in love with the SL63. it is vastly improved from the SL55. the mc tranny is FANTASTIC. the rumbling exhaust note is awesome. i always drive with the vehicle in manual mode; the shifting is as quick as my F430!! my only complaint is that the transmission defaults into the automatic mode after the engine is turned off. the car has not required any service so far and i suggest driving one to help formulate your own opinion!!
