If you are driving the car the way its supposed to be driven then you should see dirty pipes immediately!!

Its common in every car. The car doesn't have to run rich for exhaust tips to get dirty. It shows even more on AMG tips because they are polished.

fwiw, Menzerna makes a great metal polish that works really well on exhaust tips http://www.menzernausa.com/menzerna-metals.htm

But yeah, all tips get dirty. But my P-car doesn't get nearly as bad as the E63 primarily because the tip ends aren't rolled heavily like the E63 tips. So they don't ever look as dirty.

Then I am definitely doing it right.

On my W211 had to buy a buffing head to really clean it up when I am looking to show off.

Yupp me too, at least I know I'm not the only one who suffered from this type of OCD.
