Hi all,

I was referred here from /r/mercedes_benz so just stopping by to say hello. Recently picked up my first AMG in the form of a 2010 E63.

I haven't had a chance to give it a good detail or take nice pictures so you only get one. https://i.imgur.com/pIoIwIe.jpg

Ready to go out and cruise tomorrow to get to know my new (to me) vehicle. It has a lot of buttons and options that I still need to get familiar with.

Thanks!
50k miles and in amazing shape. It was always a California car and very well taken car of. Not a single scratch or ding anywhere exterior or interior. Carfax shows it was regularly maintained and no major issues on it.

As far as options go it has the premium 1 & premium 2 package and the 19" performance package rims (but not the full performance package unfortunately). I can't recall all of the other options but it had a few others on the sticker. I would like to investigate getting the LSD installed since it seems reasonable but the MPH limiter is not something I'm interested in messing with. Me going > 155/160 = bad idea.

On a side note I was playing around with the DISTRONIC PLUS on my way to work today and was absolutely blown away by it. I set it to 70MPH once I got on the freeway and never touched a pedal until I was at a dead stop 25 miles later for my exit. Can't believe how smooth that system works!

Edit: P1 package is standard on AMG. Learned something today, time for a nap haha.
