Same here, except I drove the coupe (S63 AMG). The exterior styling of the car is incredible -- so sexy. Even though I drove the sports model, the only thing I really loved about the interior was the dash. Those huge dual TFT displays are simply amazing, and the Mercedes Heads-Up display has surpassed the quality of BMWs existing HUD -- at least from my experience, since I have the HUD in my 2012 7-Series and rely on it daily. The rest of the interior, unfortunately, seemed a little too fussy for my taste. Too much chrome and bling. I've always liked the understated luxury of BMW interiors (with their bias toward sport).
It will, indeed, be interesting to see what BMW is able to field in the face of competition from MB in the form of their S-Class.
