Hello Everyone,

Wanted to introduce myself here as the proud new owner of a 2014 E63 Wagon. I found it in Texas after a long search, since I had some very specific requirements pertaining to exterior/interior color, condition, spec, etc. The original owner put 7,000 miles on it and traded it for a Range Rover because it was "too fast."

For as long as I can remember I have loved station wagons, which probably has to do with spending the better part of my childhood cruising around in the backseat of a Volvo 240 Wagon. In the summer of 1996, I got to park my then boss' M5 Touring, and I was hooked on the concept of the fast wagon. To me, it really is the best of all worlds, and now that I'm a new dad, I figured it was time to get into something practical, utilitarian, and sensible.

Here are some pictures of how it came off the truck:










And here's how it sits now:







The wheels are HRE 303M in brushed dark tinted clear finish on stock suspension. The only other modification I am considering is possibly a Renntech tune.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks everyone! I couldn't be happier... it truly is my dream car.

As far as mods are concerned, I am toying with the idea of a Renntech tune, and have also been reading the Alpha/AMS intake thread with great interest. That looks like an incredible product.
