My options are...
-Premium Package
-Dynamic/Ventilated Seats
-Lighting Package
-Electronic Trunk Closer
-iPod hook up in glove compartment
-KeylessGo (I forgot this one)
I really wanted Parktronic but it didn't come with it. Steve gave me a quote but it's kinda pricey to have done but if I do decide to do it I'll have Steve work on it since he sounds like he's the MB man around here!
...definitely looking to mod it! Especially hearing that I can get the ASP pulley mod for less than $1K! Then again, I wouldn't mind putting money into better wheels before beefing up the engine. I heard my local dealer is Renntech friendly, so maybe I'll keep it all Renntech when I go with mods. Any thoughts!?

Thanks guys for the kind words!
I'm trying to find a local place that will Dyno this beast. I found one about a year ago for the C55 but it was 45 minutes away and they used another brand Dyno so I really want to use the one everyone else has to get a more accurate measurement of my car. Do you guys think this matters?
One thing I noticed is the Navigation voice sounds a little different from the one in my C55. The E55 sounds more like a computer voice whereas the C55 sounds smooth when it speaks. Strange b/c they're both '05's.

No, it was built by "Wilson Homes" a local builder here in Fresno/Clovis area but I've seen versions of it that are similar by other builders.

Here's a list of DynoJet locations shown for the Fresno area:

Tel: 559-291-2999
Method Motorworks
5489 W. Mission Ave. Suite 103
Fresno, 93722

Can't vouch for accuracy - the info came from the DynoJet site - worth a few calls. Whipple certainly has experience with Lysholm superchargers.

Congrats Nick! The car and house look amazing. Where did you hear MB of Fresno was Renntech mod friendly? When I brought my C in, they acted like I was the first person who ever lowered a Mercedes and refused to try and diagnose a sound I had been hearing from the suspension. I told them the sound was there before I had the coilovers installed and was pretty sure it was related to faulty control arm bushings, but they weren't having it. It's probably my first and last service visit there.
