2012 e63: FINALLY got it

Hey guys, very good day for me today. I have been waiting since October 30th ( the day i ordered it) for my e63 and i finally picked it up today! All i can say is WOW. Have only gotten into about half throttle so far, 3/4 tomorrow on a long break-in drive but for now i'm taking it easy. Car came with 6 miles now it has 55, didn't drive very much today. This is my first Mercedes and it is blowing me away; the quality is phenomenal and i have yet to be dissapointed by anything. I will list specs below as well as some quick pics, better pics to come in the future.

2012 e63 AMG
Palladium silver
black interior
burl walnut
Performance Package
drivers assistance
AMG illuminated door sills
p2 or whatever it is called
red brake calipers ( stunning)
LSD

I'm having issues uploading pics, someone help?

Sorry for the delay on pictures, haven't gotten a chance. And to answer a few people's questions, I got the 19" 5 spoke rims and I am in the bay area. As far as break in I'm keeping it under 85 and 4500 rpm for now. Only 1/2 throttle. Accidentally did a Kickdown getting onto the freeway when it only had 40 miles.

More to come soon, thanks.

Eh, it happens. To be honest I don't care much about if it has a front plate or not, it's worth not getting harassed by the police.
