Dude!!! You are the proud owner of an E63 9WV!!!!! That is awesome. I heard that Mercedes had a new performance division coming out. 9WV's twice as powerful as the Black Series and weigh less than ten pounds.

hilarious guys! checked the wheels, they are still running! But found some other problems.. wind noise from the right front passenger window (the door seal is warped) and the rear seats are not installed correctly... there is a large gap between the left rear bench and the carpet... almost look like it's hanging there but it's not loose... just misaligned I think. anyways, will take it back to dealer next week for check up... wondering if I should leave the logo as a novelty! haha!

That's both hilarious and absurd. I hope M-B feels immensely embarrassed.

About the wind-noise thing, if you can keep me updated on how they fix it that would be great, a part of the rubber on my drivers door seems to be "unglued" from the door frame, resulting in some whistling at high speeds.

to fix it you need to open the seat and remove the seat leather. Its a big job but yes warranty will fix it.

That's pretty funny. They missed it at the factory, at the dealer during PDI, and again on delivery. Three strikes! The good part is it's easily fixed. The bad part is you have to leave the car at the dealer to fix and something like that shouldn't happen on an $85k car. Even if it enhances the value of the car, I'd have it fixed. Things like that drive me absolutely nuts when I know about them.

Well, got the AMG seat logo fixed. Made sure all the other badges are right side up, made sure the wheels are all round.. Taped up the window and did some diagnosing myself to find out where the wind noise was coming from. Turned out to be from the window seal, not the door seal or the windshield seals. So, the tech replaced the window seal. Hopefully, no more noise. Will get the car back today. Finally!
