New to me 2005 E55
I was fortunate enough to find a good deal on an E55 after looking for several weeks. The car is a 2005 with 50k miles. No existing warranty, but completely stock and very meticulously maintained. I purchased it on Friday and drove it home from Virginia. The drive was pretty great considering it was raining the entire time. I haven't had a chance to really clean up the exterior, but I did hit the interior. The car performs very well. I have clear sidemarkers coming as well as AMG valve stem caps and an AMG flat hood emblem. I am planning on getting tint very soon, as I live in Florida. What other mods would you guys recommend. (I am coming from a 2008 BMW M3 and this thing is plenty fast already!)

Year: 2008
Car: E550
Exterior: Silver
Interior: Black
Miles: 42.5K
Trim: Mablewood
Package: AMG
Wheels: 18' AMG alloys
Total Price after taxes $34.9K
Not a bad deal but not a steal. The car is very clean 1 owner, Certified Used with a 2 year extended MB warranty.
What do you guys think so far?
I'm looking to upgrade to aftermarket wheels. I don't really care to have 20's but atleast 19's would be a nice look. Any recommendations for best car handling and fit for wheels and tires anyone?
Also, the car is very quiet and soft... I guess that's what to expect going from an AMG to a family sedan
