BMW to my 1st Mercedes?

Hey guys, been lurking for a while...1st post...but now am ready to purchase my first Mercedes. Am interested in an 03-05 E55 w/ low mileage. Have an 05' BMW 330ci ZHP as of now. Looking to get rid of it and move up to a real man's car..an AMG! Love either white or black. I have seen some amazing looking pictures of many members E55's fully blacked out and then some beautiful white exteriors with that soft blue Mercedes tint. I cannot decide what color I like best. Well, just wanted to introduce myself, take care guys.

Jared

Get yourself some firearms and load the trunk up. Run cutouts and scare your neighbors.

Just call the local dealer and they can locate a car for you. Lease rates or down some if you are willing to be patient and negotiate.

2003 E55 K1+ Throttle body
I'm with you Jared.

I just traded a 2003 M3 convertible with SMG for a 2003 E55 (black on black). I needed more trunk space for travel hockey players. The E55 is much more comfortable and significantly faster. It's not as spry as the M3but they are entirely different vehicles. I plan to keep this ride after the lease is up which I never would have considered with the bimmer. I am upgrading to a Kleemann K2 with a 80mm throttle body after only 7 months with the car. I've owned 4 BMW's total and this is my first Benz. Once you go Benz you never go back! Good choice!

Will do, thanks. I have leased all my cars, but am not sure if I want to lease anymore..i just bought out the lease of my 330ci. What would you think a negotiated lease price could be on the E55 I am interested in?
