Default C63 Question

Out of sheer luck, I just picked up a brand new C63 without having to pre-order. The dealer had a fully loaded Obsidian Black on Black arrive last Friday destined for the owner's son, however both were in Europe and the saleman was given the go ahead to sell. The question I have is regarding how the car idles. I am coming out of an Infiniti M45 and also own a GL450 and both idle very smooth. I am assuming the idle condition (slightly rough) is simply a function of the AMG performance and camshaft characteristics, but just wanted see if any longtime AMG enthusiasts want to share any thoughts. Under power the car is simply incredible. Sorry in advance if this question is overly obvious, but just curious if anyone has any differing thoughts.

the C63 idles like a normal car, very smooth, and you have the loudest exhaust that AMG has ever made, dont forget it is a Mercedes and Mercedes using the most advance technology on vehicles, when accelerating the ME controls the camshaft solenoids to either advance and retard the timming, so you get the most power out of the 156 engine, you also have a 722.9 7speed transmission so the power and torque match the drivability.

if you wanna know about the exhaust system, and how the car sounds at idle look it up on youtube. There are a lot of videos showing what exactly it sounds like. But yeah the car sounds smooth but will be loud if you tell it too with the gas pedal.
