E550 Finally here
Finally got my ride yesterday. Love it Love it Love it!
Was a little sad that it was raining and unable to get out and truly enjoy it, but today is nice and shiny. Pics to follow soon.
My only complaint so far - Not very many nooks and crannies to store stuff compared to my 99. Took awhile to sort stuff. The owners manual could be reduced by a few thousand pages if the lawyer stuff is taken out, although that will only get worse over time.
07 E550
Obsidion Black, Black Interior
P2, Sport, Wood Steering Wheel, Side Window Blinds, Voice, Bluetooth, Ipod (on order)
Adding Tinting, K40 Thursday

I still have not had a chance to see what the differences between Sport 1/Sport 2 really do.
I noticed in the owners manual, I had a warranty book for Michelin's. Not that I would mind at all, but the car has Continentals. Are there E's out their with Michelin's?? Are they one in the same now? No big deal, just curious.

Wrong warranty book in your glove box. Yes there are Michelins out there. BUT, when I went to the Michelin web site to see what they offer for the 550 with sport & staggered set up there wasn't a hit, while there was one when I inquired about the non sport/non staggered equipped cars. So, who knows.

Barry - very good things come to those who wait.
You can break the tires loose for several seconds coming out of a McDonalds turning into traffic..must be the grease in the parking lot.

If I'm not mistaken these are the tires on my car... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes....=Pilot+HX+MXM4
Note that Tire Rack does not carry the correct rear size, however many E55 guys say that the 275/35/18 is a better size for the rear, since it better matches the diameter of the front tires (245/40/18).

I was able to get my contis swapped for michelins by the dealership, as at the time (03) they were supposed to come with the michelins. might want to check into this if you prefer the other tires (I certainly did).

I'll ride the Continentals, but will definately go with Michelines when they are replaced.
