I had a 97 E420 Sport. I just traded it in and picked up a new E55. Two totally different cars. I am speechless.

BenH,

Don't be too speechless you will have to tell us about it. Welcome to the E55 club.

Here is your first E55 horsepower upgrade. Open your owners manual to page 316 in the Technical Section. You have just gained 6HP - from 349 to 355. And that is a SAE rating and not the Euro DIN rating of 354 which equals 349 SAE.
