Nice! So that granite color is a special order and the only modification they did to that car was to lower it?

Man, you made my day! My brand, spankin' new E55 Wagon is Granite Grey; my first choice was platinum blue but the dealer had 4 E55 wagons in stock and Granite Grey was the nicest looking. Gotta say I LOVE the color; it actually seems to change a lot depending on the lighting.

I think they painted a lot of pieces (like the front mesh grilles) granite grey, went with larger wheels (19 x 10 in back) and Bridgestones, and maybe a few other cosmetic touches. I thought it was a great-looking car that had been tweaked but still looked subtle. This is how they should come from the factory! BTW, anyone know where Canepa is getting those wheels?

That's a nice color. I don't really care much for the rims, but they don't look bad. Just not my taste. I believe they are Brabus. I like the subtle differences, like the painted pieces.

Im not sure if the site said it or not, but that looks like Flint Grey to me.
Granite Grey in person looks a lot like a blue and I personally hated the color.
My Flint Grey looks exactly like that picture, and I;m still in love with the color.

I'm a little more partial to Flint Grey because it blends in a little blue...
