S63 - any comments/feedback

I am expecting for my 2008 S63 to arrive at the dealership today or tomorrow. I bought the wife an E63 Wagon 2 months ago and was wondering if anyone has an S63 that could share some thoughts or experiences with me.

IMHO it is an awesome car. I think it may be the Best DD. I don't own one, but have driven both the S63 and S65. S65 is the ultimate, but the S63 is just great.

The 63 is a great car. Sure, the 65 is faster and rarer, but its not as practical as a 63 for a DD. Now if they only had these wheels in the US...

I have had my S 63 for a few months now and I absolutely love it. It does everything right. My clients love the car as well. I think it is the right balance of power, looks, everyday driveability, and prestige. You simply cannot go wrong with this car.

From a quality perspective, it has been bullet proof. If there are any dings against this car, most are related to gas mileage although I swear I get the same or better gas mileage than my Cayenne S. The only other concern is daily driving a 140K car, but plenty of people do that.

I love it!!! Listen to that engine growl!!!

I hear the S63 is just awesome! Saw one on the road the other day while in my S65 and we got side by side with each other and gave kudos! Sounds good too.

picked up the S63 Friday night. My wife has the E63 wagon and although they share the same engine, the S63 is an entirely different ride. Everything is so well thought out on the car. I will try and post some photos tomorrow.
