Silver E55 Sighting - Topanga/Ventura

Saw a silver E55 tonight at about 9:30pm at the topanga and ventura intersection. Car looked very familiar, thought it was someone from this board. Think it had a Carlsson front lip. I was in the black one. Just put on my HRE's tonight too. Ill post some pics after I lower the car thursday.

Hmmm... did he by chance see you in the left turn lane about to head south on Topanga and give you the sign as he turned left heading east on Ventura?

Just wondering!

Your car looked sweet! Saw you a mile away...

Are you stock or have you dabbled in KleemannVille yet?

Ya, I knew the car looked familiar. Your car looks awesome man. I'm still stock, got the car in January. My MB tech kinda scared me away from modding the car, but I may still just go with a K1 with IC pump.

We should make a stock versus K2 video so everyone can actually see the difference... "try before you buy" sort of thing. The K2 is fast as sin, yes... but I think a lot of newbies (like me previously) couldn't visually picture the difference... which isn't really as great as you might think with 90 added hp. Or is it? Who knows.

And then when you do K1, make another video...

I would like to see that video. I have had my car modded for so long that I can not remember what a stock E55 drives like. For all intensive purposes my car is stock

I'm game... you can even drive my car while I drive either of yours, it doesn't matter. I just want to see the pull once they are launched... an onramp heading north on the 101 at Valley circle, for example... up to the legal speed limit, eh hum, of course.

Someone else just shoots the video from the next offramp, which is only a 1/4 mile away...

Just PM me and let's make this thing. It would actually be very interesting if we could also find a K1 and / or a K3/K4 car.

Same with an M5 or M6! God knows this MUST happen when the E63 comes out too.

PM me if you're interested ...

When will this happen? If it's not for a couple of weeks or so i might be able to help. I was up in Valley circle a few weeks ago and it was nice.

I am looking to do the K2 this summer and would love to see a video showing the difference between the K2 and stock. If someone has a K2 in the Chicago area I will be the stock "sacrifical lamb".
