Initial Report - 160 Miles

Well I have had my car for 2 days and my initial reaction is WOW...after driving BMW's for 6 years this car is amazing.......very smooth (brakes and throttle) and cleary very fast..........and I have to say overall classier than the BMW....while still very new I am very happy. After break in (about two weeks) I will be able to visit my favorite place red line city and then we will see what this baby can do!

Congratulations on your new E500 frenkeleft! Likewise, I am finding our car sneaky fast, quiet and silky smooth. She sure feels so solid like a safe.

I agree!

I agree, the E is very fast, and incredibly smooth!

Eddie, RedLineCity is located somewhere around 6,000 RPMs.
See your tachometer for more precise directions
