All of the above and more! I love this car!!!
I can't get 4 gears but I do occasionally get 3. Winter/Fall is an amazing time of year for our engines. Thanks to the OP for this thread, hits on many things I look forward to on a daily basis. Much anticipation every morning, hoping the engine cooled off enough during the night to bark at me when I hit the button.

Why, you ask? Because every time I start the car, even after all these years, I just want to mash the tires at every light and smoke the tires away from every light in a cackling cloud of Bridgestones.

Driving down the street I have suddenly become 'Johnny Assbag', and look at other cars and think to myself, 'Damn...it must suck to not have an AMG,' and then smile and grab the aluminum shift paddle and click down twice before flooring the gas and listening to the 6.2 liter engine roar and propel me forward with an almost jet engine like force. Then as I whooosh past the slower traffic I spot a cloverleaf series of ramps and clamp onto the huge 6-piston brakes and feel the front of my brain press against my skull before whipping up the ramps with glee.

Watching the fuel gauge fall like a sky diver from 10,000 feet, I wonder why I did not buy one of these earlier. As my first AMG car, I am now spoiled. Whenever I try to get into a car without Keyless Go I am confused and upset that I have to actually get the key out of my pocket to get in or start it. I wonder how people live without the 3 position Air Matic suspension and torque of one of the finest hand build engines ever to exist. I almost refuse to ride in car without the fine would trim, suede headliner and pillars, and heated and cooled seats. Then, most damaging of all, it has me wanting more AMG!! So much so that I am now in the market for a CLK63 AMG Black Series to match. I am a sick, sick, man....and I don't want to get better if AMG is the only illness I have. This is a kind of crazy I can deal with....and embrace. What a fantastic and amazing car. I have no desire to ever sell it, and will probably drive it until it has 1,000,000 miles or more.
I feel the same way every day

I have been away from the E63 for almost a week now, and I am notably grumpier than normal. These cars impact your daily mood.

So I picked it up Monday after a week away getting detail work done, and as soon as I opened the door and slid into the seat I felt my right foot twitch. Then with that solid click of the closing door, and a push of the start button I started to smile. The bark of the exhaust on start up made me laugh out loud demonically, and in no time at all I clicked the transmission button into manual mode, grabbed a hold of the shining silver shift paddles and proceeded out onto the road to accelerate my rapid depletion of our natural resources to a positively maniacal level. It is safe to say that carbon build up will never be welcome in my car as long as my lead foot and the temptation of this wonderful 6.2 liter motor have anything to say about it.
