New Here w/ E63 Wagon
Finally took delivery of my wagon a week ago and want to introduce myself here. Active (relatively) member on Rennlist (SSTAR), M5Board (Black06M5) and occasionally FerrariChat (Schminsky).
Just swapped out an E60 M5 for the E63. Great car and loving the wagon. Obsidian Black on Ash Premium w/ Perf Pack, LSD and Driver Assist. Decided to stick with the standard wheels as I'll likely swap them out. Pics below!
Also, how do you lower these cars?

Great choice.
Lowering the car is done with the KW Coil system which has coilover springs in the front (adjustable) and a rear links (provided with the kit) to lower the airmatic suspension.
You can also lower it with H and R springs up front and adjustable links (most tuners can obtain). This is the cheaper but less functional method.
Im getting a wagon tomorrow- I already ordered the KW kit. I have the KW kit on my CLS63TT also.

No tint for me on this ride. The only tint I usually do is to match the fronts to factory tinted rear windows. Did this on my G.
I'll likely to lower the wagon at some point. Waiting to get a few more miles on the car as a baseline and to see what kits (if any) offer more options. I usually have to go through a few setups before I find what I like.
Really liking the motor. Very effortless compared to the M5. Really had to wind up that thing to keep it moving.

Can you send me a link to the KW Coil system kit you ordered? Also, what type of shop could I trust to install this kind of kit on my car? I really have no clue here in PDX who does this kind of stuff
Thanks

As for Portland... IDK any good tuning/suspension shop can do it. Its pretty straightforward with the fronts but the rears require someone knowledgeable with the Airmatic adjustments.
