But after I bought the 997 Turbo, I realize I don't really need 2 extremely powerful cars at the same time, so I think replacing the E63 to a S550 is a right decision I made ! When I want the speed, the 997 Turbo is in my Garage waiting for me !

That was the reason that I figured.

20+ to list......
That's probably the cleanest S550 I've seen to date. I hope I can be as wise as you, because I can never overcome performance with luxury.

Stunning wheels indeed. Did you lower the car? If so, what module and by how much?

I know you said that with the 21's the ride does not feel all that differnt, but how much road noise do you hear? How much more. I am contemplating the 20" Brabus MB E's and am a little gun shy at this point

Car looks great! The pics looke awesome.

I'm starting to like those Lorinser wheels ....the more I look at them the more I like 'em.

I like the E63 better ! I didn't really like the SMG tramission, that was one of the main reason I traded the M5 in for a 997 Turbo !

Ditto on the "don't tint". It's an awesome sight the way it is now.
Your stable deserves a big round of

You're my idol now! ...wish my garage could have those big 3, but I'll settle on your pics of the Range, 997, and the W221 as my current wallpaper.

I was on the fence about how the Lorinsers looked on the W221, but now I really like them.
