My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
Congrats! I'm wondering how come you didn't get the new E63. I think the CLS still looks better and that could be your reason for picking it but it's getting to the end of it's run and the new E is a fresh styling.
Also, does the 2010 CLS63 get the same engine from the new E63 with a small bump in power?

Thanks, everyone!!!
FYI, I was always an MB guy...but love the Bimmers as well. I originally got the 5 for my wife, when she just had our son...a "Thank you for carrying our son for 9-months, and going through the pain of labor" gift. When our family started to outgrow the 5, we got an SUV for her, and I took her car.
My original plans were to upgrade to an MB S-Class. For practical reasons, I decided on the CLS instead. My wife loves it, and I prefer that look over the new E's. I ordered the Obsidian Black with black interior.
Thanks, again, everyone.

Well......I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to meet a lot of the guys (and gals) on this board....however, I believe that I made some great friendships in lieu of being able to meet a lot of the guys (and gals) in person. That being said, I just sold my 5 to my brother-in-law, and just placed an order for a 2010 Mercedes CLS63 AMG at Fletcher Jones MB in Newport Beach. 
It'll be delivered by Halloween.
I'll check in once in a while to say, "Hi!" and see what's going on with the E60 enthusiasts here. I will post some pics once I have my car delivered.
Take care everyone, and remember..."Enjoy the Ride..."
