I haven't driven the C63S yet, but I've heard great things about it.

Let us know your driving impressions when you get a chance.

Does it work well in high heat conditions? The E55 AMG with Kompressor has noticeable power reduction above 40+ degree Centigrade ambients.

I've been planning for an SUV as the next car. But cars like these make me want to stay with non-SUVs.

Really you can't set any pre set buttons for radio or CD is that true can't believe at 2016 MB comes with out the facility's to set pre-set station on buttons

What do you have to do scroll through all the radio stations to find the one you want

I think you can use voice command to search by station frequency, try it out and let us know.

Stock for stock you know that initial thrust that you get when you launch a 55 keep in mind I've only taken it up 4500 rpm(break in period) but you don't get that thrust up until about 4K then it really starts pulling. The biggest difference is the transmission. It keeps it in the sweet spot while banging out shifts at what 200ms. I wish this trans was available for my 55 I'd be looking at low 10's.
