Looking To Switch From F90 M5 to E63S AMG

I currently own a 2019 F90 BMW M5 Competition and looking to make the switch over to the E63S AMG. Prior to my M5 I've owned a 2019 Audi S5 Sportback, 2018 BMW M3 Competition, 2021 BMW M340i, and several others. This would be my first Mercedes and I've been eyeing the E63S for a while now.

Other than looking through Autotrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, Cars & Bids, BAT, the forums, etc. are there any other places I should be looking? I know the BMW community has an Instagram page called "MList.co" which is also a website and was wondering if the Mercedes community has something similar?

I just joined the forums so I'm not able to post in the Marketplace yet with a "WTB" request, but at the minimum I'm looking to purchase a 2019+ with Black Interior w/Carbon Fiber, Black Exterior w/Night Package, Panorama Roof, 20" AMG Forged Cross Spoke Matte Black Wheels and Burmester 3D Surround System, any other additional options on top of that would be a plus.

Additionally, for others who have made a similar switch over from the M5 to the E63S, can you please share your opinion about the positives, negatives, etc.?

I appreciate the help in advance and hope I can get into one of these amazing cars sooner than later!

2019 E63S Wagon
Pre-facelift (2018-2020) variant of the E63S warrants a test drive on not so great roads... the relatively harsh ride is not for everyone!

I love my 2019 but it would be a 10/10 if the ride was a little more compliant/less boomy in comfort mode... MB clearly recognized it was a problem as they made a bunch of ride-quality changes for 2021+

If boomy refers to road noise, you'll be amazed at the improvement PS S5s offer. Ride is pretty much the same but handling is quicker and drone is greatly reduced vs. PS4S.
