Saying Hi From Orlando

Just wanted to say hi. I joined this board as I'm currently mulling around the idea of picking up a W211 E55 or E63. I'm a bit new to Mercedes and European cars for that matter. I currently drive an E39 530i M Sport and feel that I need some more power. I've always liked the W211 and I think it might be a good fit. I'll be lurking and soaking up as much info as I can.

Welcome to MBWorld. There are great deals to be had on the w211 and that amg engine has loads of ready power with even more power potential. Good luck

Really looking forward to the search. It's been a few years since driving a car with some power. Coming from the world of Supras and 2JZ's, I think I'll have some fun with this. The E class has always stood out to me. Just hope I don't get flamed for some of my choices.

You will always get flamed no matter what your decision is. I'm still getting flamed for selling my shelby. Yes i do miss the power but gas mileage was way too terrible for me.
