Either I've had a "lemon" or people close eyes on MB problems
Purchased it pre-owned from a dealership under factory warranty with 39k miles on. Sold me on practicality of a sedan with a FAST ride possibility. Next day at 6 AM I was awakened by the fire crew banging at my door. My neighbors called them because of a large gas spill underneath my car. Got it towed, fixed, in a week - the same story. Fixed, then the check engine light went on. Upgraded software - tranny started "jump" shifting from the second gear to the first. Long story short, out of 6 months 3k mi of ownership I spent 8 weeks driving Hyundai offered by local MB dealership. Glad it was under warranty: I asked to see the repair bills and they summed in over 10K paid by MB over 6 months.
LOVE IT!
I've had this car for 4 months now. I am still learning it's limits and so far they're beyond my abilities (which aren't bad) I have owned several performance vehicles, Cobra Mustangs, a Subaru STI to name 2. I never thought I'd own a car that I liked better than the STI and I was wrong. I had an extended rental with a '13 M5 with $30K in upgrades, claimed to have 720HP and this car performs as good as that one with a much better ride. The comfort and luxury doesn't seem like it goes with the speed and handling but I am getting used to it for sure. The manual shift isn't fast enough so I just leave it in automatic sport mode. I think the W211 still looks better than the last 2 generations of MB E class. I have a Toyota FJ as a daily driver that I love but I can't stay out of the E63 because it's so fun to drive. I just hope it can hold up to my level abuse because I drive it. NOTE: MY CAR IS NOT A WAGON. That was the only trim selection they allowed. It's a 4 door sedan.

I Love It
The minute the car was driven into my garage by the dealership I was blown away. Next to the 2008 black M6 and even the cl550, the E63 is absolutely beautiful. Interior styling beautiful, simple, functional and elegant. Idrive is outdated and difficult to figure out, especially when you have different models of BMW. I Love the analog clock next to the speedo, even more so than the faux television screen display on the cl. AMG rocks over the M, just listen to the exhaust.
A true sports sedan
Best part of this car on my first drive was, compare to E320 and E500 ( both I owned before) how stable this drive train is. Solid grip feel and very stable with no rocking motion side to side. surefooted to road. Engine sound make you want to drive around the town more, and it becomes very addictive. Engine is remarkably responsive and with slight touch of the acceleartor car takes off leaving other cars behind the back mirror. Its totally effortless. No wonder with that much power. Nothing like E500 I had, much more responsive.
