More pictures of European delivery

Sorry that I haven't been able to load more pictures earlier. I have better ones taken with my camera but, in the mean time the iPhone ones will suffice. I almost reached 2500 miles and wow what a drive, two weeks ago I finally did launch control start and it almost **** my pants this thing is fast, the torque is insane, I did the BMW advance performance school before the trip and none of the M cars felt as fast as this beast sometimes when really pushed there is a fear and respect to it that I haven't felt for other fast cars. My only complaint so far is a wind noise that appears between 50 miles and 120 miles per hour, I can't really tell where in the windshield is coming from any body else with the same problem? Now one of the best things is the noise, what a symphony when pushed hard sport plus is the best acoustic system I had ever had on a highway you get addicted to revving and changing gears just to hear the tranny change gears and the car sing. in Siena I raced a 911 2011 and a Maserati and both times the car killed the competition, I can't wait to get back to Germany in two days and take it to the ring, I'll keep you posted, so far maximum speed achieved on this trip is been 168 mph on the Italian express A1.. Now on the way back there is no holding me back in the autoban....enjoy

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
AWD system really does great in putting power to the ground. Great view of the car from that angle since the front and the prolapsed exhaust tips are out of the view. Lovely background--Where is it btw? Have fun!

European delivery usually consists of one night in a hotel included. Flights and all the other hotels nights are entirely up to you. It's not a free vacation, not even any cost savings (at least for AMG models) its more an experience
