New to me 2001 E55

Hey guys,

Well I had been looking for an E55, looked at a couple, ended up buying a fellow members car that was posted in the FS section. Car is very clean, sale went very smoothly, just got her home yesterday.

I got a set of euro springs coming for it and will probably do #1 spring pads. I am amazed at the power this thing makes. I also have a built 95 M3 that I enjoy dumping money into, I mean work on.

Anyways, there's my intro.

Hank's Car?

Beautiful ride!

If I wasn't 3000 miles away, she would be in MY garage.

Congrats... and have fun.

BMW M3
E55

Blkhcptr I also have a 95 M3 and am looking at a 2001 E55 AMG. What should I be expecting? Why not a 2001 M5 instead?

Because the m5 will cost way more to maintain , having audi's all my life I am very satisfied owner with this model, how it performes and it reliabilty is pretty darn good(if not incredable) for what this car costs!

I got a great deal on this car. M5s were out of my price range.
