Congrats. I think basic rule of thumb, drive like a grandpa and don't floor it for the first 3,000 miles ( I think - please read your owners manual ). Have fun.

Per manual...

At or Below 4500 RPM and 85 MPH with varying speeds for first 1000 miles. Then gradually increase there after (not specified).

Rear Diff oil change at 3000km 1850 miles. (2000 is close nuff)

And like hyperion said..
Where are the pics?

All W212 M157 should have 577hp/590tq in the first place.
I found it absurd when MB started the P30/P31 package, followed by the current S-model. The AMG marque by itself should be used to denote the highest performing models in terms of engine output and suspension setups. Options for the AMG's should be limited to wheels, CCB, audio, and cosmetic items such as cf trims, night trims, designo, etc. The additional "s" is also an eyesore to the badges IMO. Luckily the 4matic badge was not added to the badges. Of course, this is not to mention the Black Series for the top of heap for certain class...
Anyway, just my $0.02.

+1. I also think that it is odd that Mercedes turns down power and torque in the M157 for other applications (such as ML63, GL63...).

We have e63 557hp and S model 585 hp. No such 577.
On break in advice. I have changed rear diff oil at 3k and engine at 5k. I did such oil change on all sport cars for better performance. Anyway I wd recommend all to change oil in 5k intervals

I'm not sure what country you are in, but in North America, the E63 S has 577 bhp and 590 ft/lbs of torque.

It's different markets. I'm very surprised that we have more power than cars for USA market , usually it's vice versa.
585 hp and 800 Nm. My friends S63 coupe has 585 as well.
But it's only in the paper , usually cars show more than manufacturers tell. I remember e500 has 388 hp while in USA 408 I think.

I drove mine home from dealership which was 200 miles away. Varied the speeds on C mode on highway. Then after I hit 500 miles switched to S for few times. I varied speeds and Rpm's never red line high as 6-8 rpm. Cracked higher than 85 mph after 500 miles on highway. Then dropped back to C mode after doing S mode for few times and on it now.
