LOL! Been there done that

So I was reading through the Owner's Manual and found out the car has resettable lap timers! Awesome!

Meeyatch1

What do those do? Will it impact my warranty?

citylightva

It does right there in the speedo screen. I've never used them. I don't think I would pay enough attention to get it right Too busy listening to the full throttle exhaust

Does anyone know if you can watch DVD movies on the factory DVD based Navigation system? That would be awesome since I have an 11 month old daughter that would enjoy that on long trips.

Negative. Unless it's in Park, then I'm not sure it might. Definitely not while moving. Part of the US' safety code.

Okay. Thank you. I guess Baby Girl will just have to listen to the sound of Daddy's exhaust to entertain herself.

Side note. The E63 woke up my wife today. I started it to back out of the garage and she called me on my phone because she said she heard a loud rumble and did not know what it was. Needless to say, she did not expect an all stock car to sound that good.

Hmmm. Mine doesn't sound like much except at WOT.

Maybe you don't have the OEM exhaust? Have you checked? I suppose it's possible it's been modded by the PO.

Anyway, the new W212, SLS, C63 sound a lot better, imho. The E63 is fairly subdued (good though for quiet comfort on the freeway.....)

In the meantime you seem pretty happy with your choice

The E63 can be a bit loud on cold start I like the sound at WOT, very intoxicating

This and once my exhaust gets warm it gets louder. Coming off the track after a session it will actually pop a couple burbly? backfires...yeehaw..!!

Remove the resonators, the burbling and crackling sounds are even better

citylightva

Yeah, I know it....I wanted to, but it's mostly like getting sold at the end of the year, so I think I'm gonna leave it mostly stock. Though I guess, who would even know

Further improved by removing the secondary cats.

Stock exhaust from what I can tell. 'AMG' etched on the exhaust tips and everything. Sounds so nice, and yes, I am very happy with it.

Meeyatch1

I agree. The only negative is that if I dip into it too many times I feel like I am throwing fuel out the window by the bucketload. LOL!! Oh well. It puts a smile on my face.

So does anyone know how complicated it is to add the OEM iPod kit and the OEM side window shades? Those are the only two things I am really missing, and they would help on trips from Indiana to Canada (which we do a lot). That way I could have a nice selection of music, and the rear side shades could keep the sun off of my daughter while she is in her car seat.
