Nice wheels and you definatly bought yourself an excellent set of brakes.... Although I have to wonder why you felt you needed to upgrade the O.E.M brakes that come with the e500.... The stock braking system is one of the best O.E.M systems I've ever had in a car period. Pleanty of stopping power under foot at all times in my opionion. Seems perhaps you should've waited to actually drive your car, then decide if you wanted more... After all its only an e500....Congatulations on the order of your new ride and looks as if your off to a very good start on the mods..... Good-luck....

Brakes
My OEM brakes stop this hurtling mass of madness awefully solid and dead on straight. I sure would be reluctant to tap into the system and start mods But it's just my opinion.
The wheels are cool looking.
Going to add exhaust tips or system?

I got a quote to similarly equip an E55... almost $95k! Add the mods (about $12k) I want and it really becomes a little too rich for my blood.
My car will be around $70k, then another $12k in stuff. More affordable.
