She's finally home and happy to become part ofW213 family

Took delivery last night and after a short drive home I can say its a big difference from my '14 AMG E63S wagon in all aspects. Love what Mercedes is doing with these cars. Some pics, will post more after detailing PPF and tints.

Nice! You're going to love the car.

I also have the Selenite Grey Magno. Really happy with the color choice and have gotten a lot of comments on it from co-workers who don't really know anything about the car, but just like the color.

Thank you. She's definitely a head turner and neck breaker. So far, there has been so many stares and looks Lol

Question for those who opted not to drill holes on your front bumper, what bracket are you using that does not interfere with parking sensors?
Thanks in advance

I use the no front plate method.

But I do carry the front plate mounted to the plate holder bracket in the trunk. The factory bracket just snaps in to the front bumper but as I recall does have a couple of mounting holes where screws could be used in either side for more security.

It's just a fix-it ticket if I do get stopped. Hoping maybe if I show them the plate and snap it back in they'll just let me go on my way and skip the ticket.

But if one did want to mount the plate without drilling, maybe a couple pieces of double sided tape, one to each side of the bracket would be enough along with the center clip to do the trick.

Im not sure what state you are in- (Mass??) so the plate laws could be very strict but here in CA, as stated its a fix it ticket. I never ever put a plate on my cars as the ticket is almost always a fruit of the poisonous tree (speeding violation) where the officer tacks it on. So I apologize but cant help with the front plate bracket part but.... welcome to the team and you have a glorious car.

I used craigs mustang bracket on my gt350 and wifes 17 c43. Not sure if it will wok on an e63 but worth exploring. Look for them on the internet for more details. Dont know for sure if it will work until i get mine my19 in September.

If you don't mind holes in the underside of the bumper, check out skene design (https://skenebrackets.com/).
Had it on my 5-series wagon before and it worked well.

Beautiful car. For once I'm proud to say that I'm from Florida where we only have one tag!
