Very nice, are those Bentley wheels on the middle car? Is it just a W210 meet? I just got myself a 2000 E430 wht/grey, no mods yet.

+ 1 On the factory look. Not feeling the wheels in the middle maybe it needs to be lowered but as long as you like it thats all that matters

I should have gone just to break up all that silver.

It looks like I'll pretty much be free after this coming weekend (this month has sucked), so whenever the next meet is I'll be able to make it.

I saw two today. One doesn't really count since it's always parked by my work. The other one was a really clean looking stock white one that I haven't seen before. It makes 5 that I know of for sure around here.

Great photos, nice group of W210 E55's - Three questions;

1. What are the cars using for running lights and fog lights - they look bright.

2. What are the wheels and size on the car on the right (head-on shot)

3. How many W210 E55's could we get together for an all Cali meet? (count my 2002 blk on blk in)

1. city lights are LEDs on the two on the left, stock on the far right. Farthest left has 6000K HIDs in his fogs and headlights, center has 6000k 55w HIDs in the fogs. Far right has hyper white halogen bulbs.

2. Lorinser LM1

3. If theres interest, we might be able to get something together.

Wish I had known a little earlier. My office is in Palo Alto, so its only 15-20 to get to Foster City for me.

I've seen a few in my area. One white, 2 blacks, and 2 silvers. Pretty sure none of them are on this forum though.
