Yes, was deceptively quick and quiet when I test drove it.
Tried the E53 too but averaging 14.1 mpg over the 17 mile spirited test drive was a deal breaker for me. Didn’t feel that much quicker tbh, sounded nice though.

Welcome to the forum - looks a cracker!
Is it as quick as a C63? Mrs bro in law has one, it's mental

IIRC one of the reviews called the E400d Coupe a hidden gem - I haven't driven one, but must do so!

Not really used it yet tbh 
Drove it the 35 miles home on DC parked it in the garage and it hasn’t moved , this WFH means I don’t leave the house for days on end.
I’ve been sat in it each night trying to get used to all the different settings etc.
Is there a way to get the ignition on without starting the car ?
I have to start the engine to get the ignition on to alter settings, surely I don’t need to start it ?

My thoughts exactly, can't get my ignition to switch on without engine. Also I had the radio on after stopping engine but couldn't switch it off..... Because I was using the passenger door and not the drivers doorNot really used it yet tbh
