^saw your car at coffee and cars next to an e39 M5. that blue color you got looks amazing in person.

Is your car lowered or is that stock?

This thread sure does make me miss my beast.

test drove my first e55 today. i dont have enough posts to make a thread so il ask this here. it was an 03 with 110k. this car was in terrible condition, all the trim inside was broken is some way and the pano roof was coming apart from the inside, i fell in love with the car. its a monster i cant wait till i sell my car and get one. one thing was surprising to me tho. when i brake i was expecting some crazy braking... my e39s brakes as soon as you touch them they bite like crazy... now i didnt push these all the way in but they felt weak at just a touch. are there the type of brakes i have to press really hard to get good braking or what? sorry for all the questions guys im new to benz.

Hey, congrasts on your new purchase. I also had a e39m5 before. 55amg is a
monster. About the brakes, I can assure you AMG brakes
are far better than the ones in e39 and other competitors. Not only these are six pistons, they also
do not fade as much. If you like prefer the strong initial bites, you can always
swap out the factory pads and go with much harder pads like HAWK pads.
Also if you have a wored out disc or pads, you might feel your brakes are soft.

Considering that this is just a picture thread, you really should start a new thread. Post count doesn't mean anything.

What size are these? Offsets? CCW's? I only see 18's on their site for similar wheels, but these look bigger.
