Yeah, I used metallic silver with rainbow flake in the clear.

 

Awww cute, to match Berti_00's side mirrors

LMAO

 

hahaha...very funny!!!
i think i was the first with sparkles!!!
and definitely not on my mirrors though

 

Got to love that E60, always good to see a truly rare car.

 

I will get better pics when I clean it and all that. Im back in London with my fav car. After being stuck with a very reliable but visually off-putting 300E in Los Angeles for 6 months Im back with my baby!

 

Altho it wasn't a good day for taking photo shots due to strong sunlight, I thought I would add few shots to answer the requests. w/ smiles Jimmy

 

wow, you cn hardly even see any details on the car with this camera, plus its too far away. I will do it properly when it is clean and a better angle...

 

jimmy, what is the car parked next to the benz?

 

That black one is a 1969 Ferrari Dino 246GT Tipo L. Had it for about 4 years. w/ smiles Jimmy

 

d@mn dude! what are you, yakuza or something..??

 

ZedStyle,... many people may assume that I could be a "yakuza" based on appearance, but the truth is I am a gentleman inside, just like the guy next to you. I don't think you want to know the "few other cars" I mentioned. w/ smiles Jimmy

 

i hope to visit tokyo in the next 6 months, maybe i'll stop by and see the 'few other cars'

 

Just curious Jimmy, does the 'sa' character on your number plate denote something in particular? Just found it odd that its tiny and by itself before the numbers (taking a Modern Japan class and trying to learn as much as I can!) Thanks!

 

Well, ZedStyle,...if you're going thru Tokyo/ Yokohama area, feel free to let me know early so that we may have a lunch or tea together and have a ride maybe in one of the cars. w/ smiles Jimmy

 

ATLS124,...the small character "sa" before the numbers can be analogized as alphabets (they're just sound vowels w/o any meanings by themselves). As to why they are smaller is size, your guess is good as mine. Hope this helps. w/ smiles Jimmy

 

Absolutely stunning! Any idea on how many E60's were produced? Again, you have a real gem there, must be awesome cruiser on the highway and through the twisties, any chance you could get some videos?

 

So what are those "few other cars" which you mentioned? Share the wealth... err, the toys! Thanks.

 

Thanx Appatula: Let me suffice to relay my experience at the time of acquisition. Originally, I was eager to find either E500 or 500E (I wasn't even aware of the existence of E60 back then). When I finally located a shop w/ a magnificent E500 for sale, I went for test drive which was impressive to say the least. I was sold. But then, the shop happened to have this E60 also and after test driving her in succession, there was no turning back even tho the price difference was significant. I think I hesitated for about 10 seconds. I still remember mumbling to myself as I test drove, "is the speedometer broken ? What is this sensation, handling ? Even the factory stock sound system is nothing I experienced before ! on and on. Even a casual step w/ your right foot translates instantly into bodily Gs. If you have a "heavy" right foot, you'd notice the triangle, orange warning lamp telling you that rear tires spinning. (At first, for the initial weeks after purchase, I wasn't aware of what this orange lamp was so I called the shop about it, wondering if something was broken. His response was, rear tires' spinning...better get used to that right foot "touch".) I wasn't even aware of how much gas I was feeding her. From standstill in idle, the engine sound is very quiet and uneventful. Once you start giving a little gas, literally it is a take-off w/ big, fat rear tires gripping tarmak. Cruising down a highway thinking you're behaving, you quickly notice that you're way over the speed limit. (Whenever I get speeding tickets, it's this car because I am not aware how fast I am going). You just don't realize how much torque and HP are under that hood. They are evened out by excellent handling and front/rear weight ratio (51/49 ?). Let's say you're casually cruising at 150km/hr, the sensation you get is equivalent to 100km/hr. I am told that the true power band is north of 3000rpm and north of 200km/hr. Unfortunately, there's no public road available to enjoy that thrill. (80km/hr is the max speed limit in Japan). You can approach a curve at 150km/hr with confidence and without trajeckting off or tilt. All this w/ riding comfort, enjoying whatever music you're listening to. When I have a passenger next to me, he/she often complains riding sickness. Words don't do justice. You have to experience the sensations. w/ smiles Jimmy

 

Jimmy, thank you for the honest words of first hand E60 experience! This car sounds like it is true heaven to drive If I ever end up traveling to Tokyo, I'm going to second what Zed said, I WANT A RIDE! Gas is on me

 

You're most welcome. Lunch is on me then. It's too bad normal street speed limit is 50kph and highway is 80kph here. I see you're from Conn. I have fond memories of my few years in Springfield, Mass. Also had a college mate from Norwalk, CT. Some times in NYC & Boston too. Love to be back in New England myself, especially the autumn season. w/ smiles Jimmy

 

I have seen one of these things the other day in Downtown Seattle (or at least I think I did)! I was looking at it not knowing what it was. I was very !

 

New to this thread, relatively new owner of an immaculate white 1992 300 CE ...

 

Looks really good man. Is that an SL hood?

 

Yar, looks like he's doing the SEC-style modding.

 

SAMM--I totally agree with your signature, "...W124 is a symbol of what used to be right about cars. MANUFACTURING QUALITY. CONTEMPORARY LINES. AGRESSIVE yet GENTLEMANLY stance. Long live W124"
