Does anybody own one? Curious to see what you think of it...

Yep - I've had mine for a year, and absolutely love it. It actually put the final nail in the coffin for my 599! Found myself always going for the Merc key rather than the Ferrari, it really is that good. I drove a std C63 before I ordered mine, and found it a bit 'soft' and went for the Black Series 'blind', but have no regrets. Turning the first stage traction off means it will tail hang without too much interruption and Sports+ makes it ever so responsive. The gearbox is so intuitive I rarely use manual. I've been to Germany a couple of times and not quite maxed it on the autobahns - but very close to the limited 186mph! Mine has done 7500 miles now and the average fuel consumption is 18.5 mpg - not reset since day 1
Have managed average of 26 once - and also seen 8.5 !
The only cars that I've drive recently that are better were a 458 and an F12; it's that good!
