Just received our first 2014 E63S!

This car is incredible to say the least! I haven't gotten to really push this one (just got to drive it into the showroom). However, our AMG training instructor did a demo with Race Start last month with the non-S model he brought with him. It's sort of like getting rear ended by a cement truck followed by a permanent grin .Just received our first 2014 E63S!-20130928_103411.jpg

It is a shame to know that the dealers are wanting to "push this one." When I received my E63, it had a few miles on it, and I am guessing it didn't go through the recommend "break-in" period of less than 4500rpm and less than 85mph for the 1st 1,000 miles. If you are spending 100k on a car, you probably want to have it go through the recommend break in period. I guess dealers should expect customers wanting $1000's off the showroom floor model knowing the dealers and other test drivers have "pushed it."

What is the interior color? Designo Sand I presume... it does not look like standard beige... I ordered designo light Brown but was hesitating between sand and amaretto also (amaretto seems a bit too orange though!). If sand I would appreciate if you could snap a couple more shots of interior front and back!

I agree that new vehicles should not be driven hard prior to the recommended break-in period or at any point by dealership personnel. The vehicle that we were able to do this with was a dedicated test mule that our AMG rep brought with him training purposes. Our aim in parking these in the showroom is to bring attention to them and deter those that only wish to go for a joyride. Just wanted to clear the air.

This is the designo Light Brown Leather you ordered with designo Natural Curly Maple Wood Trim. This is the first I've seen of that particular wood trim, very nice.

Funny. If you would know how hard AMG tests the engine before it goes into the car, you wouldn't worry about hitting 4500rpm...

So if all AMG engines are pushed hard before going into the car, why the break-in period?

Thank you for the pics. Light Brown is awesome... I'm not into the wood trim though! I will get black ash trim of piano black.

I love how they kept the center of the rear seats black! Nice touch.

From the manufacturer's standpoint, it's better to be safe than sorry.

That's it. They're all (e.g., Mercedes-Benz AMG, BMW M) trying to save money that would go toward warranty-related reapirs in the event that Joe Blow goes out and fires up the Race Start/Launch Control as many times as possible with less than 5 miles on the car.

The break in period is more for the transmission and differential gears.
