2007 E63 Wagon

Is it broken yet?

Hey now, if that wasn't such a reasonable question to ask I might take offense to it. 
I've put about a tank of gas through the thirsty 7 seater and I'm still very much smitten. I still need to read the manual for some things, but I have found the Comfort mode is pretty soft and will start in second gear from a stop, and have you in 5th by 35-40mph. If it wasn't for the exhaust being so loud it would be a very normal and respectable family transporter. There is also a Sport and Manual setting, but out side of starting in 1st and holding a gear longer in sport, I'm not sure yet if does anything else. Manual is manual flappy paddles, which you can engage any time/mode, so again, I'm not entirely sure what the differences are yet. 

We took the kids for a leisurely cruise up to Reddish Knob on Saturday and Colin was in love with the jump seat in the back. He waved at everyone behind us the entire way. It might get old after a while, but it was fun watching him relive a similar time I had with my aunt and uncle's 80's Caprice wagon.

The head unit is a Pioneer SPH-DA120 which seems more geared towards apple stuff, but I still need to read up on it. 

Next up is trying to pass inspection, the shop with a leaning towards fun cars that did the RS6 a couple of times is no longer in service. (to no ones surprise) so we'll see how I make out at the next place.  I hope to bring it over to Mid Atlantic afterwards and let Jason give is a post purchase look-over to see what might be on the horizon. I know it'll need front tires soon, rears are newer, but if I can find a second set of wheels I might but something a bit more all-season on for the winter.

This is the only other photo I've taken so far, forgot to grab some on Reddish, whoops.
