Guys, up for sale is my 2005 E55 Wagon. I purchased it approx 2 years ago, and in that time I've only put 15,000mi on her. I purchased it from another member here who promptly replaced it with an E63 wagon. It has had extensive maintenance done prior to the mods and has been very reliable for me, needing nothing other than routine maintenance. If you are reading this ad, you know the specs, but it's so unique it bears repeating.....only 193 E55 wagons in the U.S. (129 in 2005) It has an E63 front end, and currently a stock grill on it, (I have the black grill as well that you may see if you google the vossen photoshoot)

Full disclosure: The front end and hood have some rock chips, the car has a lot of highway miles (good for the drivetrain, bad for the paint) But overall it looks great and the paint shines well, no dents, no rust. It truly does get a lot of compliments.

The check engine light comes on from time to time, it's always an Idle air code. This is common with the larger throttle body, it can be eliminated if you speed up the idle (then the ECU sees the throttle open the proper amount that it's looking for) but I prefer the stock idle. I clear the code with my smart phone and an OBDII wifi dongle (my wife even does it if she is driving)

The rear air springs will sag after several days of sitting (the car is not daily driven) They always pump right up and there are no airmatic codes. (another common problem, and not worth replacing if they pump up normally and have no codes, just a leaky check valve)

Email me for hi-res pics.

GLWS Brian! Love the additions, especially the head unit. That was one of the biggest weak spots and now it is a game changer on it.

Can vouch for Brian's attention to detail and work - we've kept in touch and I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the E55 every time he sent me an update. I love my E63, but it just has a different character than the E55, and I definitely got more looks and questions in the E55. Going to pass this ad around to others - rare wagon requires a rare driver, but long story short: if you are thinking about it, buy this car and you won't regret it.

 

Thanks for endorsement. It's a great car, and you gave it a new lease on life with all the maintenance when you bought it.

 

Here is an update since I've had several of the same questions.

I do NOT have the stock wheels and tires.

Of the "extras" that come with the car;
I have the OEM throttle body.
A rubber trunk mat.
An all black grill.
ONE rear tire, (it's a 295/25 vs. the 285/30 that's on it now) the previous owner couldn't find that size in stock after a flat so he bought a pair so the car wouldn't be down.
The original TCU with a Eurocharged tune. (The TCU that's in it now is from a 2004 that allows the traction control to be totally defeated)
