Congrats...

I envy those that are fortunate to get the E55. Wish I can have one. Now where can I find a genie like the E-class commercial to give me one.

very nice choice. That is probably one of the few models that i would be willing to trade my W208CLK430 in for. Try not to get too many speeding tickets.

Whew, I'm trying not to speed! At 3000rpm, the thing is going at 100mph!

I am thinking of getting the 11-99 Foundation plate or at LEAST a built-in V1.
