Looks great! I will add mine when I can get it and keep it clean for long enough. I am jealous to see the beautiful weather in your photo.
I'm curious - now that you have had your GL63 for some time, how do you compare the 6.2V8 in your C63 and the 5.5TT in your GL. I am feel very, very fortunate to be able to experience both engines . . .they are both great but definitely different. For me, the 6.2 has such charisma, revs so smoothly and sounds so good, I have to give it the slight edge for me.
I have to say the 157 is as close a turbo can be to an na engine as possible. I think the GL is much heavier and one cannot draw any comparisons in contrast to say the new Cls or e63. I think the 5.5 sounds really nice for a turbo and let's not forget that the c is the best sounding 6.3. If you compared an older ml63 to the new gl63, you would pick the new engine as your favorite.
I hear you on the difficulty in comparing the 6.2 NA and the 5.5TT given the significant difference between a 4,300 lbs E Class (or 3,900 C class for you) and our 5,700 lbs GL. I still appreciate the experience that comes with the 6.2 NA just a bit more than the experience from the 5.5 TT.
I couldn't tell from your response whether you prefer the 5.5 TT or you were just highlighting the difficulty in comparing the two across different vehicles.
Here is another photo to add to your thread - still have my winter wheels and tires on though . . .

I like the winter wheels.
I don't have a preference at this point between 156 and 157. I drove the Cls in my AMG class and thought the na engine was superior in its response, but that was 2011. I think I can better decide which one I like if I test an E class now.
I will be attending my first AMG driving class in Palm Beach in early May so I will have a better opportunity to compare "apples to apples" the E63 with the 5.5TT with my E63 with the 6.2. Hope they also have the new CLA45 to try but I heard that they are slow to add that to the fleet.

You will be amazed by the number of cars AMG will have on hand. It's big production and first class compare to other driving classes. Don't forget however that it serves a purpose. It's amg's showcase. It's a big commercial.
