Very clean car. I have the same exact one! I LOVE those floor mats. Im assuming those came with the car? They look brand new. Ive been trying to track some "E55" floor mats down for quite some time. How many miles?
Where are you in Indiana? I am in Louisville KY.

I actually replaced the floor mats shortly after I got the car. I know they're incredibly hard to find so I keep them covered. I found them randomly on ebay. Looking back, I shoukd bought multiple pairs.
I'm in NW indiana, about 1/2 hour east of Chicago.
120k miles on her currently.
Thanks for the compliments fellas!! I love the car!

Lookin' good!
I like the Carlssons, and the rear roof spoiler. You must've gotten some of the last mats with the "E55" included in the stitching, they're very hard to find now. You can find them with "AMG" easier.
We're so close, practically neighbors... ought to hook up sometime!

Thanks! I try! :-)
Sounds good! I plan on lowering it with eibach springs and koni adjustable shocks maybe this winter. Nothing crazy, but close in on that wheel gap. I LOVE the carlssons too, when I found them in these specs, I had to have them. I wish the fronts were closer to et30 offset, as these 35s are sunk in a bit compared to the agressive rears(nothing a 5mm spacer wouldn't cure, but I avoid spacers the best I can).but I'm pretty particular, I doubt many would even notice.. it DOESNT rub on that suspension nut, and I have stock size tires all the way around. Now after I lower it..I may have to tweak both front and back a bit.
Thanks!
I was going to buy one vehicle, newer, a bit more expensive, etc. my eye was really on a w211 at the time, but im a BIG DIYer so I wanted simple.. For the money I would have spent on one, I picked up two. Lol. I enjoy them both.

I decided to tint the windows to compliment the Carlssons...I also got these rain deflector vent visor things. Here's how I first had them on:
Didn't care for them...so I moved them down, which may be the correct way, based on fitting.
I like them better, moved down.
BUT I'm still not sure im feeling it. I believe less is more a lot of times.
What do you guys think?
Keep them like the 1st pic?
Keep them like the other pics?
Leave them off?
