Totally agree re low key.

In my ridiculous process of picking a car, I drove both the E63 and M5 extensively for days at a time.

Had on heart, I got very little unwanted attention driving the E63 and absolutely loads from so called ‘boy racers’ when driving the M5.

I even got followed off the motorway into my own household street by some guy in another M5 looking for a race!!!

For sure, low key works better!!

I also agree with low key. I have one on order in selenite grey with the badges removed.
I plan on having the dealer add an E400 badge on the rear just to really go low key.

It would be real funny for a guy who saw this and went to his dealer and want to order one and dealer tells him it is not possible.

My wagon is my daily driver for me . Low key not . Most teenagers and car guys know exactly what it is . I get comments everywhere

Get the sport exhaust - best sounding stock exhaust I have ever heard . I cant live without listening to my decel pop every time I drive the car

I was going to put a "Hybrid" badge on the back so I can park in the AFV parking at the airport.

2018 E63s
I purchased the E63s as a daily and love every minute driving the car. After my M4 lease, I had the option to trade in my GT3 and get a 570s or Huracan but decided it wont be the best option since I cant really drive it everywhere. So I got the E63s which has the power I need and I can daily and take it everywhere. This option allowed me to keep my GT3 and lease the E63s so I have both now

Good time to be ordering the car, not a good time ordering these cars in the winter as when they come in mid summer they tend to sit at VPC until mid to late fall for whatever reason.
