'05 E55 *Wagon*
Checking in, new E55 wagon owner!

Hi All, excited to join the MBW community. This is my first Benz after coming from 20 years of BMW ownership. I'm the new owner of an '05 E55 Wagon, just purchased out of Dallas and shipped up here to Portland. I sold my longtime E30 passion project which let me buy this thing, and it will be my new DD once it's set up the way I want it. The OP installed shorty headers with primary cat deleted and an upgraded IC pump. I plan to add an E63 front end followed by a full paint correction, blackout the headlight housings, add an 83mm clutched pulley, upgraded HE, and then send off the ECU and TCU for RaceIQ tunes. Oh and hopefully some SL65 wheels next summer, I absolutely love the look of those. Here's a quick shot as it sits:




Some of my previous cars include:
'88 325iS coupe
'91 525i
'92 325iC
'02 330Ci
'11 335d (current)

Looking forward to learning!
