New E55 owner!

It's official, I purchased a '04 E55 Black/Black this week, it truly is one of the nicest cars I've ever owned and I've had a few... M3, 530i, several Saleen's including the first S351r Speedster built in 1994, but this car is special... NO DOUBT!

Options; parktronic, lighting, active seats, rear power shade, keyless go, and can't forget the auto truck closer... how could I have ever lived without one of those in the past!

Well, glad to be an owner now!

Welcome!! Can't wait til you line up next to someone.....this car is the most deceptive I have driven. You don't really know how powerful it is, til you kill someone with it, then it sinks in.

Enjoy!

Enjoy

Yes, enjoy that wonderful care you just got. I can't wait to see some pics.

I understand the comment about the car too, not many people know what's under the hood, but soon they will.

The E55 W211 is definately one of the truly 'special' cars, worthy of remaining in the 'permanent' collection. Enjoy!

Cobra now in Texas... the new owner is talking about removing all the Griggs Suspension stuff... CRAZY... he thinks it would ride nicer... I told him he bought the closest thing to a Mustang Cobra Race car, why change it... oh well it's his now!

Nice brotha...I traded in my M3 for my E55...I would be interested to know how many members on this forum own or used to own an M3.
