Lack of Acoustic Comfort Package makes a massive difference!
I took delivery of my E63S today which I bought for my wife. My car has no acoustic comfort package and no performance exhaust (I wanted it but couldn't find one in my color combination with Premium package which also had perf seats).
I was a bit apprehensive about the lack of performance exhaust. Amazingly my initial impression is that this car with no performance exhaust and no acoustic comfort package sounds marginally louder than the car I test drove at the dealer which had acoustic comfort package and sport exhaust (set to loud). It also sounds louder than my F10 M5 with the Eisenmann Sport Full exhaust. I'm very happy with the sound of the standard exhaust (with no acoustic comfort package), although I'm sure I would love the Perf Exhaust even more.

Placebo!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Congrats!!
Its probably a wash- no PE and no AP which means you hear the same INSIDE with a valveless exhaust. All subjective here but I know that outside of my car (with the AP and PE) the car is very very loud at higher rpms.

Great car BTW. Will post more with pictures during the weekend. I'm so glad I got it now rather than waiting.

Do you have the Pirelli tires or the Michelin? My experience is that the Michelins are a lot quieter than the Pirellis. I swapped the Pirelli's out early on my Porsche for this reason.

Is there any way to check that they actually installed the acoustic comfort package? They failed to delete the badges despite the build sheet and window sticker saying they were deleted.

I feel the same was about the tire noise and I’m used to cars with road noise. I wonder how much louder my car would be without the ACP.
