Yes the colour is stunning but I prefer an understated colour in the ‘lawless times’ we find ourselves in.

Thr trouble is, Mercedes seem to have a very small choice in colours.
I've had 6 years of silver, black is a nono, white I'll be cleaning forever which leaves palladium or tenorite grey and that lovely metallic hyacinth red.
I don't recall seing another W212 E63 in any other colour.

I have had three MB's now and all have been Black. Not by choice but Black seems to be the only colour that presents itself to me. I always go for the right car rather than the colour :rolleyes: I do however like my current colour combination of Obsidian Black with Grey trim :)

Black and light grey interior are a great colour combination Andy, but living on a busy road I can clean my silver car and there is a thin layer of dust on it an hour later. Black just won't do for me. I've had one but never again.

I'd have to move before I have another black car:D

I’ve also had black with grey leather, I also go for the interior colour first as that’s what I can see most of the time :D

I never choose black interior and I’m not keen on silver exterior. I’d also never choose white and I’d probably not go for black again. I like the different colours :D

Quoting my own post, but guess who is going to test drive a black car tomorrow?:shock:
I know I know, but the spec and price are too good not to look.
It does have light grey leather interior though along with a few other goodies.

Inside and toys is what’s important as that’s where you’ll be :p

^ Yes it was/is an absolute beauty with all the mods I ever would do already carried out.
But sometimes things just aren't meant to be.:(
