I've actually seen an E63 in this color once before driving down Kirby. I wasn't sure if it was a factory color. As the driver was smoking hot, my attention wasn't on the color.

It's the Designo Blue. They have one at the Beverly Hills MB and I am in love with it! Only thing that could make it cooler is if the inetrior was black with matching blue stitching.

Saw a C63 that color in person and I can only say it's truly one of my favorites.

Designo Blue for sure. Not sure if I like it on the E. I LOVED it on the C63 and on a CL that I saw a while back.

Maybe it'll grow on me...

Car free at the moment
I'm betting it sits on the lot for a long while. My buddy that sells MBs in Dallas says 9 out of 10 AMG buyers want black over black and won't even consider any other color scheme.

It already has been on the lot for a while. Maybe people don't want to pay extra for a color? But even with the Designo, the cars total MSRP is just under $90k as I remember.

Actually it is Designo Mauritius Blue. I first saw this color on an CLS55 AMG in this link:

https://mbworld.org/forums/cls55-amg...-blue-cls.html

Nevertheless, cool color.

you know what? actually taking a look at it longer, although its not the same shade but it reminds me of the Audi s5 when they first used a similar color as their promo shoot.
