That's what I love about the E63. It doesn't look like any other Mercedes model. Certainly not even close to an E550. Not even the discerning eye can differentiate between the two at far distances!

It must have been in Monte Carlo Blue, such a popular color for all BMW models.

I moved back to MB from BMW this weekend. My last MB was an 2006 E350. I switched to a 2008 528xi and then 2011 535xi. I got tired of the sport ride and fell in love with the 2014 E350 luxury. Looking forward to a November delivery. The technology in the 2014 E Class is also blowing me away.

Nothing. After a nightmare experience with MBFS and my enjoyment of the stock suspensions a drive ability of both Ms, I don't see myself ever returning to Mercedes. BMW dealerships are actually interactive with the forums and post deals on various models in addition to specials on OEM accessories. There is just a clear apathetic attitude from Mercedes when it comes to interacting with forum members. The AMGs are torque beasts, but there just seems to be a wider variety of vendors and mods for the BMW brand than their does for Mercedes.

Maybe if I make enough money one day, I'll migrate over to Porsche.

I see............

My tt is okay, I sort of see what all the hype is about regarding Porsche.....everyday there is another chap on the forums saying how long he's waited to own a Pcar......
and how happy he/she is..........
I could take it or leave it, I just don't feel the same way about Porsche as I do MB......

what kind would you get? Panny? 911? even the new Cayman is nice, and a much nicer price point too

Yeah I don't long for a Porsche....just more of, if I went outside my comfort zone, that might be where I venture. I like the Panameras but never been in one so don't know how it is other than the aesthetic appeal.

Side note, new P44SCs on my M5
