Handled well and the signed plate on the engine (made by one man from start to finish) was quite charming.

Did the engine tech leave his phone number? You are right - it is "charming" as in a feel good marketing tool but otherwise meaningless.

I don't do four doors, but for something really special - I would either choose beauty and interior opulence (the QP, as you have) or something even a bit rarer - an Alpina B7.

Too many interesting choices in that price range to select a AMG Mercedes Benz, IMHO.
