So jealous of you guys...

I was pickin up my car at the local dealer after they did the whole SBC brake recall and what do I see. A brand new silver S55. I guess the guy was just pickin it up because the sales guy was inside explaining everything to him. The new owner caught me staring a couple times and jus smiled at me after he saw me in my car. I smiled back. I always had the upmost respect for the S-class and when I saw the S55...hot dayam my knees started to feel weak. It was just so beautiful. The new projector headlights, the amg kit, the wheels and brakes. I personally wouldn't touch the kit on that car because it makes it look perfect. The only thing I would change is the rims. Not that there is anything bad with them but you can do better . But yes there is no real point to this thread but to tell you guys you have a great car. One day I plan on gettin one of these and until then I can only dream. Congrats guys

This is a pic from way way back. The only difference is that I have a new front bumper, but everything else is still the same. Oh actually the rims are about to go...

Is that the new m5 in the background? I thought those weren't out yet. Did somebody just badge there in 5 as a M5?

Yeah it's a 3er. Most likely a M3 because that's how TWC rolls; like big boys.
