CLASSY car! So what modifications does it have? It seems front diffuser, side-skirts, wheels, blacked-out side-marker lights... possibly rear quarter panel?

Thanks Oscar1388. Can you tell us the color? I realize it is not a US version (or so it seems based upon the wheels). Here, it looks like a Desert Silver.

Yeah It's friggin pretty quick!
I've gone up against a few E55's and i have more top end.
From a standstill (esp off) the AMG is quicker.
From 30+ the Kleemann is quicker.
Also I've noticed the Kleemann pulls from 2d to 5th then evens out.
The limiter stops me at 155 or so but theres plenty left.
I take it to Dr. Benz here in Vegas. The TUNE he has on it now is very mild, I don't like hitting the gas station every other day. But I'm pretty sure he can tune it up to 400HP or so as is. If i decide to install the cams it can go up to 500.

LOL..well the intention was to have a unique e500 that will compete with the 55's. I plan on dropping in the cams, change the x-pipe for an H-pipe, and new rims. As far as performance mods..there's not much left to do .
Dr. Benz will dyno/tune when I'm ready. I'm thinking by the end of the summer I'll have the cams in and maybe a custom ram-air/K&N type intake.
Dr. Benz and I went over it yesterday (had a bad alternator, not cheap) and we were discussing the intake and exhaust. He recommended an H-pipe for exhaust and the cams/ram air for intake. He has all of the Star Diagnostic machines and can pretty much custom tune the kleemann via computer. Once all of the internals are good..Ill throw it on the Dyno.

As you all know my car isn't new but my friend's BMW M6 certainly is (new to him) so I snapped a picture of the two together earlier. Gosh I love my school =) We always park next to each other as we can trust that our doors won't be beaten to hell by the end of the day. Sorry for the bad quality (I know you know my license plate number but this was the only copy I had on my computer). Yes I know I parked on the line, that was intentional.

New to the forum, this is my first Mercedes, just bought her yesterday. 08 E350. Loving it so far, completely stock, nothing added. Upgrading her with some new HID's shortly.

Nice! If you look back at some of my really old posts before I owned a Benz I was debating between a 2008 C300 and a 2007 E-Class, obviously I ended up making the same decision and have never looked back. I think the E-Class is MUCH more distinguished and really is a piece of art, also more of that "Mercedes" quality that seems to be lacking from the baby Benz. Plus with the number of C-Classes I see in my area it's a bit difficult to have a car that stands out with a non-AMG C-Class.

Oh I agree. I live in Chicago, so I see a LOT of Mercedes, specifically the C300, so I am happy with my decision. The car is amazing, I still rush out the door to head to work just so I can drive it!

When I was in NY this last summer (sorry I didn't visit you in Queens Fila =)) I was amazed at how many Mercedes I saw especially in the Manhattan area - a record sight of 4 W221 S550s/S600/S63s at one stop light (not a limo service or anything) looked amazing. MUCH more popular than here in the West, where BMW is the predominate car brand - probably 5 on my street alone. Even having owned the car since March I still love the drive to school and back every day and will find any excuse to drive it since I'm really in love with it haha. Comforts you after a long, difficult day and exhilarates you on weekend drives.
