Hi All. Newish member here. I expect my 2014 E63 wagon in December.
Palladium Silver
Forged twin 5-spoke wheels
Brown Satin Ash Trim
Black Napa/ silver accents
Ceramic brakes
Carbon engine cover
B&O stereo system
Driver Assistance Package
Surround View
I'm coming from an '06 M5
I hope the steering feel will be close to the precision of the M5. Can't wait to lose that SMG though-
Do any S-model owners have the AMG Illuminated Sills as standard? Their literature and website are conflicting in this regard.

Just placed an order for an early '14 delivery.
First Mercedes for me.
Diamond White
Black Leather W/contrast stitching
B&O
Driver Assist
AMG Surround View
Titanium Wheels
Heated Rears
Carbon Trim
Rear Side Airbags
Only thing i'm still on the fence on is the Ceramic Brakes. Does anyone have any real world numbers for life span of the pads/rotors? My dealer is trying to talk me out of them as they think they will only last 25K and its a $15K job to replace them. Brembo says they should last 100k for the rotors which would be reasonable, NOT 25k. I know it depends on how hard you abuse them...etc. But say for an average driver?
And as for the AMG door sills, they are standard. The website leads you to believe they are a standalone option, which is erroneous.
Now the long wait begins...

I was in same boat and decided not to after talking to dealer and reading bunch of stuff online
Still confused about whether to get PRE-SAFE (Driver Assist Package) - there are some positive comments and others are saying its annoying... the car has already the:
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
Radar-based technology alerts you if you're approaching a vehicle ahead, or even some stationary objects, at a speed and distance that suggest a collision is likely. Its Adaptive Brake Assist automatically provides the ideal level of braking as soon as the driver steps on the brake pedal, to help prevent a collision or reduce its severity. If deemed necessary, the system can also activate the features of PRE-SAFE®.

That's one thing I leave off in my car the lane keeping assist, to me it is annoying plus I figure it would wear out the brake pads faster. I do really like the distronic and use that a lot.

Moving from a 2011 ml63 which I love to the 2014 e63 s wagon...advatageously caught someone else's cancelled allocation so ordered in July, have a build this coming week and hopefully early November arrival. Mine has these specs:
Palladium Silver
Forged twin 5-spoke wheels
Black Ash Trim
Black Napa/ silver accents
B&O stereo system
Driver Assistance Package
Surround View
Am adding laser/radar, window tints and making a game time decision on a full body satin or matte clear bra over the palladium silver...those pics in other thread with some cf trim, grey dipped emblems on back and discussion around some matte ceramic coated tips are intriguing too so I'll no doubt be waffling over that kind of stuff for the next month in anticipation....

Ya, when I first saw the title I thought MB was giving somebody a threat for ordering a new car 

Order placed in mid-May, tentatively have a December build, January delivery.
I haven't locked in my order but here's my current thinking:
Iridium Silver, with Grey/Black interior or Polar White, with Black w/ Silver accents interior
Carbon exterior (esp. if I get the Polar exterior)
5-spoke forged
Roof spoiler? (still trying to figure out what this looks like)
Carbon interior trim
Heated rear seats
B&O

I have to make final decisions ASAP since build date is november 19th... Lock status is usually 2 weeks prior to build date but my dealer wants to make sure we get everything sorted out by tomorrow in case it locks before...
I'm going back and forth between obsidian black and paladium. Interior is between black and designo light Brown... Actual car is black/Brown... thinking of changing to paladium/black.... then I go back to black/black... can't make up my mind! Anyways I'm sure it will be an awesome car. I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow! I cant wait for it to be locked so the decision is going to be final!

i'm impressed as hell with those of you willing to wait 6+ months to have a station wagon built when there are cars sitting on lots waiting for immediate delivery. that's some serious will power.
Mike,
Just did a search on AutoTrader and only found 4 wagons in the US, none with the colors or options I want or even close. If I'm going to pay $100+K for a car, I can handle the wait to get exactly what I want.
Let me know if there are better search tools, because if I don't have to wait, that would be great too!

There really aren't that many '14 wagons sitting on the lots. EMC in Devon, PA had a white one in inventory for about a month, but it sold this week.
I think this one might be hot in the flesh.

Done! Decided to go black with light brown interior. Should freeze any day now since the PO before me froze today and he is scheduled for delivery 1 week before me. I can finally put my brain to rest and continue with my life!

That DOES look like a hot wagon. Like that color. If mine sedan wasn't to be built next week, I would give them a call about this wagon. Originally Posted by ace10
