How obtrusive is the engine noise in the S63

Hey gang,
I've driven all the 221s from the hybrid to the 65, with the exception of the 63.

Saw a real nice s63 I might consider, but before I get all into it, I'm wondering how noisy that engine is in the cabin. I generally prefer very little to no engine noise in this type of vehicle.

So, do you consider it noisy or no? Any interior vids while driving/accelerating?

Thanks.

'Obtrusive'? Perhaps you'd be better off in a Nissan Leaf?

IMO, I would say its similar to a 55k. Has a nice 6.3 NA rumble!

I have driven a 2008 S63 and I did not find it noisy at all. When you jump on it, it barks but nothing too loud. It does not have the smooth power band of the V 12 TT but then you wouldn't expect it to.
