But here's what both the Porsche and the Cadillac are lacking: stealth. Unfortunately, the P30 package comes with red brake calipers, which is akin to spotting a tramp stamp tattoo when a woman bends over to pick up her kid. Why let anyone know anything? If this were my superwagon, I'd exercise the red-caliper delete option and figure out a way to get brown brake calipers behind those 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels, or whichever color looks the slowest.
Then I would debadge the car completely. If you can recognize the quad tailpipes, then you know what I'm driving. If not, you don't need to know. Or, to really go cloak and dagger, one could go the extra step and grab some E350 emblems and replace that Biturbo V-8 fender badge with 4matic. The total opposite of dudes who slap an M5 badge on their 528i. Always remember, the entire point of a Q-ship is that the enemy never sees you coming, and this wagon is very much the Q-ship.

Im getting one... next week.
111k is for a heavier loaded PP car with a bunch of other stuff. The PP on the wagon is 6350 MSRP and the base price is 91500.
The one I found and like is 109355 and it has PP, premium leather, LSD, and some other nice things that I dont really care for like illuminated door sills, distronic, lane assist... but its white and its mine so im good.

The rear is way sexier than the W211 wagon. I never liked the W211 wagon. It didn't look very sharp but this looks very sexy. The W212 is just menacing. I think the problem with the W212 was the lines, not the rear or the front, it's the "slimmer" and "skinnier" look which made it look like a Hyundai. The AMG model almost completely fixed it.

Just FYI, I started a registry for W212 AMG wagons too. Only 1 car listed now, but send me links or details for cars you find and I will add them to the list.
Thanks

LOVE it! I had an e39 m5 back in the day and I debadged it, swapped the m5 door sill bumpers or the stock ones and lastly never washed the tail pipes. You really had to know to get an inkling.
But here's what both the Porsche and the Cadillac are lacking: stealth. Unfortunately, the P30 package comes with red brake calipers, which is akin to spotting a tramp stamp tattoo when a woman bends over to pick up her kid. Why let anyone know anything?
