Looks very fresh, I love the look of the W213.
Are all these new E63 4WD?

Pretty sure not, there was another member who picked up what must have been one of the first in the country a month or so back.
Will upload new nice pictures tomorrow.
I've got question do I need to run first 1000 miles carefully with max speed 85mph and max 4500 rpm I've got running instructions on my windscreen but just wondering if it's necessary.

i would..stick to the rev and speed limits but don't baby it too much. don't lug the engine at low revs but do start to progressively use more throttle as you get through the period.It sounds like you're planning to get the running in period done quickly, which means a lot of motorway miles presumably. Don't just sit there droneing alond at 85.. vary speed and load, use moderately heavy throttle applications now and then. Just cruising will mean the rings don't get enough pressure against the cylinder bores to break in the rings and the liners, or so the theory goes.
Of course, if it's on a lease then just rag it fron the off, but I know your plate and would rather not buy it from you

Hi,
Congrats on your new car!
Running in - is certainly recommended - although I have never seen a real world comparison between two identical cars, where one was run in properly and the other one driven hard from new!
Also depends how long you intend to keep the car - if you only keep cars for as long as the manufacturers warranty - then who cares about running in?
Only other thing to consider is whether Mercedes have any hidden data logging within the engine or gearbox ECU that logs how car has been driven - I have heard about this with certain manufacturers and warranty refusals.
Cheers

Lovely car Timur, wonder if it was this one?
Timur's beast has white wing mirrors.
No but looks similar

The pics I have posted are of an E63S I had a good nosey around at a Super Car show last weekend. It was there with a few of other nice AMG's from MB Nottingham.
