http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/merced ... 2013-01-10 top gears review of the new facelift E63 and the new E63 AMG ‘S'. Spotted in the text "
we won't get the four-wheel-drive versions in the UK"
Thats a pity if we dont, I'd have considered looking at one of those

interesting that both audi and mercedes have stuck with slushmatics (even though quite good ones) and BMW have gone for DCT...
The m5 has 500lb/ft... Merc S 590 and rs6 516... Wonder how strong the boxes are for the torque?

yeah I've heard the same from a few people... normally as they know my feelings on slushmatics.

Aesthetically I really like the estate, not so keen on the saloon.
