Saw that, nice wagon but nutso price for a 2019. I sold my 212 on there for a decent price but was largely in like with market (but better than trade.)

This result here doesn't help my cause.
I trust that you are ONLY looking at a 2021 E63S and not earlier. You've already posted your dissatisfaction at the ride quality in the Comfort setting and the earlier wagons ride like they have steel rims w/o rubber on them. Really, either go with the earlier suggestion to change the brake pads to reduce the brake dust, or bite the bullet and change out the rotors and calipers to CCB's. If you don't trust the local dealer, I'm certain that you could locate an independent shop in CT that could do the job to your satisfaction. Just my 3 cents here.
That's how we save a few bucks, right Harris? Makes us feel not taken advantage of. Haha. Actually, Mercedes are a joy to build, particularly after years of dealing with Porsche.

I am in the process of helping my buddy build his 4s online. Porsche options are CRAZY!

What I saved on not getting a CF engine cover I spent on getting new Michelin PS/4 All Season tires and throwing away the Michelin PS4 summers. 😀
I considered ordering the CF engine cover purely out of spite, and to be the only person in the world to option the car with it. I’m sure it would have stopped the assembly line in its tracks while the production crew tried to figure out what this mysterious option someone ordered was. 😄
Oh, and it will be worth +25% on bring a trailer in 2041.

Of course, many will love it and it does likely suit bold exterior, just doesn't really go with anything. Just a random color that clutters up the interior. I would've went a little more conservative with such a bold exterior color. Just an opinion like everything else as it relates to my ****posts on this forum.

Does anyone Really like the Magno paint options? Every time I see one I think the detailer forgot to buff it out properly.
I like the BBM having seen it in person, much better than photographs and I am generally not a fan of matte paint. Fad-ish and looks like **** most of the time.
I also echo ocd, can't stand that interior and stitching.

I have BBM on my wagon and I think it's one of the prettiest factory-optioned paintjobs I've seen in a while--but I'm a sucker for deep blues on fast cars. YMMV, but I think it's a much more subtle color than it looks like in the pictures... it just pops relative to the grey-scale that the majority of MBs are clad in. As espoused elsewhere: I have the good/bad fortune of living in LA, where such paint doesn't stand out nearly as much as I imagine it would in other parts of the country/world.

I am so so glad my car doesn't have that yellow stitching. BBM goes really well with blacks/greys (and yes, I'm going to take some pics later and post them, I swear)--but the yellow really doesn't match anything... the brake calipers aren't yellow and nothing else on the car (save for a few screens and the ambient lighting) has a hue that matches it at all.

This car has only 1746 miles on it with a tune and appearance mods and the owner wants to sell it within several months of ownership? Geez! Oh, maybe because it has the titanium/yellow stitching! I wish that I had the excess resources to buy megabuck cars and then sell them within a few months. Come to think about it, even if I had the resources I couldn't be that noncommittal about a purchase.

This is a big car. I'm used to doing 911s. Quite the workout. Wheels are, by far, the worst part. First car without ceramics in many, many years. If MB doesn't come out with a 2023 in June, I will be installing ceramic brakes on this wagon.
Loving the silver accents with the black. The OEM black window trim transformed this car. Elegant yet discreet. I don't want a fully blacked out wagon so this is a good compromise. The chrome door inserts is the last mod for now. Wish they made them in black. But since they don't, I'll wrap them in Xpel black gloss film.
Also, got my windows lightly tinted using Autobahn Ceramic i3. Didn't really need to do this because my car already has infrared glass, plus one of the advantages of not doing night package is darker windows. But only went a shade darker. Turned out nicely.
