Certainly looks the part doesn't it

That looks lovely!!

I'm thinking of getting one myself but can't find a single dealer that is getting one in! If it's not too forward, would you mind me popping over to have a look when you're good and ready?

Lee - sure - have you tried Guildford Mercedes yet? You cant get a saloon anymore though.

Picked it up this morning - first observations:

1) The noise is simply awesome - no you tube videos do it justice - its really special - v8 muscle car with pops and bangs on overruns - crazy!
2) It is a boy racers dream - to some extremely sporty, too others could be seen as garish - it has got loads of attention today - it does look quite 'sporty'...
3) I have to run it in which sucks and i will struggle to do the miles before October
4) Gearbox is 'ok' but it is not a patch on the M3s DTC (in manual mode)
5) Steering has more feel than M3, plus the wheel is pleasantly not too 'fat'
5) Handling - too early to tell as i have only done 100 odd miles but tested on a couple of roundabouts and my gut tells me that the M3 feels better (M3 was better than my previous RS4 too but I still rated my RS4)
6) looks - sat next to M3 - straw poll is that the AMG looks more special - it certainly gets more looks than the M3.
7) Interior - more special than M3 - seats, panoramic sunroof etc
8) Blimey, I miss the seat belts being handed to me

So far loving it - will post a more detailed appraisal when I get more time..

I could do some more back to back comparisons but the M3 picked up a nail in the tyre yesterday so its not really drivable
