We just finished the lease on an Black E55 and picked up a slate grey E63 about 5 months ago. Going from the torque monster 55 to the high-revving 63 was a big difference. And I do find myself missing the torque, but the 63 motor and the 7 speed tranny work so damn well together that it is a whole hell of a lot more fun to drive. Those pictures remind me yet again why I drive the cars I do. Sad to see such a gorgeous and pretty much new off the lot one get mashed up like that though.
