Been lurking for much too long! Learned a lot (laughed a little) over the last 6 months. I drive a bone stock Black Opal E55 built 09-04 delivered 10-04 with VCS, Pano, Nav, Rear Sunshade, 6-disk, trunk closer, keyless go, lighting package, dynamic seats and tint. Despite a few electronic gremlins (SRS problem, drivers side seat belt light with no passenger, Tele Aid unable to locate vehicle) and 18 days in the shop since delivery, I still smile every time I get in the behind the wheel .

Welcome! Good to have you onboard. Yes, I'm pretty sure everyone here experience gremlins from time to time... I sure have mine with me, but I love my vehicle.

Welcome again and enjoy the E55 board.
