I'm sure I'm going to regret this in the future... but.... I mean who wouldn't regret selling a 1 of 130 supercharged V8 unicorn that can beat up on porsches, vettes, and haul 70 cuft of cargo? Yeah... well... life.

I think you mean to say brilliant silver. Also, that is not black Birdseye maple. It's brown burl walnut.
Sweet ride though!
Updated! Thanks! Not sure how on earth I screwed that up. That's what I get for writing a for-sale ad late at night after spending a whole day in the sun.
Beautiful car man, I just found it on craigslist and thought it was and underground for sale haha! Good luck with the sale, wish I was in the market for an E55. Currently looking at an 500 wagon loaded.
Any pics of the bumper rash you reference? Does the mirror not move and that's why it needs replacing or something else?
Assume it needs all new upper/lower controls arms + bushings and ball joints? How long ago were the Airmatics replaced?
Whoops. No idea how I forgot to upload that pic. Thanks. I've updated the original for sale add. Last photo. But just for ease, here are the pictures relevant to your question.
Bumper Rash. Honestly, it happened a few weeks ago with the wife. I haven't even bothered to try to get it out yet. Main reason for selling is time. Stuff like this happens, and it eats me up, but I don't have TIME to take care of it. So I'd rather it go somewhere it gets taken care of and replace this with an appliance.
Driver's side Mirror is auto dimming, but it's sort of delaminated (i think that's the right term). It now has a redish tint to the mirror glass . Its still otherwise functional. Look closely at the picture I posted... you can see the red towards the bottom. It's tough to take a picture of.
The mechanic just said control arms. Given the car has 84k miles on it, I'd expect both.
Front airmatics were replaced last year (about 10k miles ago). Rear airmatics still work fine.
Please just take this car. I need to move into a Minivan (sigh).
Car now has 92k miles on it. I've replaced the control arms and bushings. I've also replaced the idler pulley. The car just got new rear tires on it, and the dealer just threw in a whole new fuel tank/senders etc. Save for minor trim stuff, this car is ready to go.

The minivans are convenient with the sliding doors but after awhile you will want this back. Keep it!!!!!! GLWS. I am in the 3rd year of minivan driving & will probably have another 2 years before I can move on up to the Estate!!!
