wAts goiNg oN? about to come on board for few months...

hello to the fellow board members. i've been lurking here for the past week or two while i was researching the E55. i decided that its a great car for me for the next 6 months or so before i move onto something else, so i pulled trigger on a left over '05 black/black.

here is a picture of my current daily ride, a '03 E46 M3, which faithfully served me for few yrs. tomorrow this time, a black E55 will take its place instead.

i am in long island NY area. if there is any meet/events, i'd love to come out and meet some of you.
thats it for now. and will post pictures of the E55 tomorrow.

I don't know anything bad. It's just really coincidental because I looked at buying that car 3 weeks ago... Never actually saw it, but the guy (Mike Belina) was going to give me what I thought (?) was a good deal and he was giving me what I wanted for my trade-in. I live down in DC and was going to drive up to get the car. But then, other things got in the way and I started thinking about getting a Z06.

Just wondering what kind of deal they are giving you.

M3 are nice and Ferrari is beautiful but E55 will beat them all in a straight line...

You will enjoy the real POWER

Great looking M3. I left one behind when I got into my E55. You'll have no regrets. Welcome aboard!

i am eager to experience it.
i have always been a small block high redline high revving upper power-band kinda guy. this torque monster thing will be a brand new exp.

p.s. btw i think CS still beats E55 on a straight line. i have ran into one b4. i think it can take a modena no problem but still abit short for the CS.

ok, picked up yesterday. didn't get to drive much. quick impression is, totally different cars than bmw M cars. lots of power everywhere for sure, but driving dynamics is soft and steering is loose. will put some miles on it and give a better review.
