Well, late November turned into early December, but the wait is finally over. Picked up the car today.
The delivery was painless. Car was flawless, as far as I can tell--no concerns to be addressed. The DS showed me all of the major features, got me some temp tags, and I was on my way!
On the way home, I got behind an S63 that endeavored (and failed) to pull away. Heh.
The S85 is plenty fast. I was vaguely concerned about this, having only driven P85s, but it's really a non-issue. I'm sure I'd be able to tell the difference in a back-to-back run, but the S85 is fast and immediate enough to satisfy. I'm glad I went this way.
DS said that the Rockville, MD location is crazy busy, delivering something like 8 cars a day. That's way up from the normal 1 or 2. This is all part of the end of quarter push.
The power mirrors are cool.
Will post some pics momentarily.
