Aha thanks, no wonder. What else was different about the IWC edition? Just the wheels and the piano interrior? It looks beautiful. I wonder why they would use it for this test though.

My 55 is silver like the 63 in the article, but my wheels looks like the IWC 55..... because of all the brake dust!

My E55 is silver and the brake dust on my rims make the IWC version look white by comparison. Then again I haven't washed my car in...hmmm...months? It's very very filthy.

Article seems

Well written from what I can see. I really wish I could read it in full. Everything that is qouted seems accurate. My 63 w/lsd is doing 0-60 in 4.1-4.6. I still only hav 600 mi so I have not run a 1/4 or topped her out to 186. As soon as I hit 1200 I am on my way to the speedway to do smoe real testing.
