WOW Brabus E-500 6.1 liter !!
This afternoon (2/15/03) around 1400 hours (2PM for you cake-eaters), I was driving eastbound Santa Ana Cyn Rd in Anaheim Hills when I saw a H O T new 2003 E!!!
It was a white 2003 E. The little spots on the side molding near the front doors where it usually says "sport" if it is a sport package instead said "Brabus."
The left rear side of the trunk deck, where my car says "E500" instead said "Brabus." The right side of the rear deck lid, said "6.1"
It had twin-spoke (non-sport looking) wheels, but they had the distinctive "B" in the center hub. The car had paper FJ plates.
It was V E R Y impressive!! I had no idea they Brabused an E-500 into a 6.1 liter!
Sure do wish I had pix!

Really ?!?!
It looked like a 25 year old dark haired (spiky) guy driving it. Blue dress shirt, possible tie. Maybe your friend, not his dad? He wasn't showboating or anything, driving well within break-in period guildelines.
Had the panoramic roof and parktronic too, as I recall.
Seemed a little young to be in it, but then again, I'm young in mine too.
I was gonna try and flag him over to the side of the road to check it out, or at least give him a "thumbs-up" but since I was in my beat up old Ford Ranger pick up with the ladder rack that I drive for work, I thought he would disregard me so I didn't bother, LOL!

What color is your car? I would love a white E500 with the Lorinser front and rear kit plus Brabus LED skirts, and a set of 20" chrome Auto Couture Magnifique 3pc. rims.

Well if you can fit 20's no problem on a E500, the 19's shouldnt be a problem. If you want to get your fenders rolled for a minimal fee go with 19's, 18's just don't look big enough for the E.
