Just got mms and call from my AD that my car arrived. Unfortunatly, im leaving to Italy tomorrow for few days, so pick up wont be possible till thursday. However, I couldnt resist and had to take quick personal view (AD is located only 35km from my town). OMG what a beast and beauty at once!! Quickly checked options, nothing is missing (rear camera,folding mirrors included ) and to my big pleasure, it is fited with Michelin PSS tires! So far, everything is going well. Delivery was superquick, car was oredered about 2 months ago (custom spec)..
More photos will come next week, even more and better photos with brief review after some driving.
Thank You guys, i cant wait to drive her. Gonna swap central wheel logo from MB star to AMG emblem, then get some tint-not very heavy, like the looks pretty much how it is..

Colected my car today, but what a messy day. Today I sold my previous car (BMW 5), it was little tricky - administration, police, money... but in the and, 100% happiness for both sides.
Im sorry for horrible photos, light conditions at AD were very bad. Better shots planed during weekend, should be sunny weather..
Now the car! In short,very short. Gorgeous!!! Completly blown away. I almost forgotten how perfect it is.
Ride is stiff, but not over-stiff nor harsh. For ME, dailydriver nobrainer. Sounds great, looks dtto, interiour spot on.. I hear no rattles, tranny is smooth enough (of course not as ZF8), performacne exhaust has forced my neighbours to come out and make congrats to me and my new baby. They seemed very honest with it, despite excesive noise. Never happened to me before..
More detailed review, during weekend (at least i hope so, time is killing me last days..)
PS. I have a bad news. Wheel logo swap is not possible for forged wheels, it was a misinformation from sales person what a shame!! AMG centreclaps look stunnig.

Congratulations! You're lucky too, you have the nicer rear bumper!
No deep review yet due time shortage (lot of work, selling my previous cars, another business trip), sorry!
Posting few photos, dont have more/better till now.
About my obervations. I need to correct my words about suspension. Our open roads are quite acceptable quality, but, man, our cities are raped apart. In my town, ride quality is on boarder. Starting hearing small rattles here and there, will see how it developes. Anything stiffer, it would be a concern. But keep in mind, this is not fault of car or MB factory. Its just how poor roads in cities we have. Open roads - car feels great, smooth and for me suprisingly silent too!!
Steering - when I first drove demo car, it feeled bit weird - very light. It is strange, because now i feel it just suits my needs. Precise, responsive, moderate feedback (could be better, but hey this new electromechanic era is on roll).
Engine - god
Tranny, not as smooth as ZF, but no concerns here. Very fast and clever enough!
Usability : very comfy seats, no excesive noise (i think it is as silent as my 530dF10 was), great room in front raw, sufficient in back, nice trunk space. Great interiour, feels very classy. Safety and tech on top!
Car is great eyecatcher, gives to me terrible amount of emotions!(sound,power,design,image).
There is just one thing, thats possible (hope not) getting in the way, i hear strange noise from engine bay. Maybe its normal, just want to be sure. Im gonna open separate tread in hour or so (need to upload vids to youtube), so please guys check them.
Nice to see the pluses seemed to far outweigh the couple of question mark issues you have.
My experience with the transmission has been that with more time it "smoothed out" a bit i.e. less abrupt "clunks" at low speed. Maybe it is "learning" my right foot? I also came from a ZF transmission.
