Not to rain on the parade, but IMO it sounds terrible in the first clip - I'll assume the wheeziness is just due to not having the production exhaust on (since it should sound similar to the E63, right?). The E63 is wheezy, esp. at low rpms, but not nearly that bad.

Mercedes makes great looking and sounding vehicles, it's the reliability that pushes me away. A very expensive work of art.
