Just delivered! 2015 E63 S - Iridium/Mystic Red
Hello all-
I'm happy to say that a *finally* took delivery of my 2015 E63 S on Tuesday morning. Thanks to Scott (sdg1871) for connecting me with a great dealer in FL, worked a great deal and very happy! I ordered this back in Oct and just took delivery now - most of the delay was due to the Designo Interior color of mystic red. I think it was worth the wait. I ordered with:
Iridium Silver
Designo Mystic Red Interior
Ash Wood Trim
Pano roof
Driver Assist Package
Surround View
Forged Wheels
I've already done a few upgrades, but here is how it looked when delivered:
Just delivered off the truck
First photo opp
And after a few goodies: 35% tint all around, CF mirrors and CF rear spoiler - VERY happy with these adds:
I'm coming from a 2012 BMW 550xi - and before that 6 other BMW's including - 325i, 328is, M3, 525iT (wagon baby!), 335i coupe, and 550i (lemoned). I'm a big fan of bimmers - I've been an intructor for the past 10 years up and down the east coast, but they lost me over the last few years. MB def has the edge, IMHO. As this car is my daily driver, I really needed something that has the entire package. LOVE the steering feel, power and grunt of the exhaust - interior quality is top notch. I think the best thing is - when you get in and drive this car - it feels like a special experience. Not too many other non-exotics I can say that about. The only negative is the Command system, but the positives way outweigh the negatives (only one!)
Happy to be part of the club now!

Grats! Need moar pics of that Mystic Red interior though...
Where are you instructing? Need to take the 507 somewhere and "break it in". I was with the BMW club in Lime Rock for about 4 years, but sort of lost interest there too, sold the 335i and moved on.

Mostly Summit Point and VIR (I'm in DC). Have also driven Road Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, Lime Rock and Watkins Glen. Used to do it a lot more, but family keeps me away unfortunately, but get to track 3-4x/year.

Congrats! Seems like we share a very similar story here as I have owned 4 BMW's before the 2015 E63S AMG and was always a BMW fan. My most recent BMW was a 2012 550xi that spent quite sometime at the shop because of the dreaded drivetrain malfunction. I think alot of F10 550i owners have nightmares about the DTM.
There are a couple of things that I think the 550i does better (iDrive & throttle response), but you are right on in saying that the positives greatly outweight the negatives. The rev match on downshift function in S+ is simply intoxicating and yet the car stay quiet in the low rpm range with absolutely no drone. I love this car.

550 has better stereo and tranny than the E63 S but that's it.

Thanks all! Will take more pics of interior in the AM.
Mirrors were on eBay with great feedback - paid $350 - seller name is performance-bot. Spoiler for on eBay from a dealer who had it listed a few months ago - OEM -$450.

I came out of a 2012 BMW 550xi and it was always in the shop with drain train malfunctions. I had the injectors replaced twice and t was burning a quart of oil every 500 miles when I turned it in off its lease. Such a lemon
