However, the E55 is very subtle and classy so shouldn't draw neagativity like many flashier (albeit most likely slower) cars.

BTW, if you go for a Vishnu tuned BM, will the C32 make way or the 55?
C32 is gone for a family cross over (08 highlander) until the new Sequoia hits the market next year.

E55 will be replaced by (335i coupe or 535i) until I can afford a used E63 or new C63.

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
Sorry more to the point of the question posed ... "is your E55 FUN ...? "

Hell yeah !!!

I think we all get this sheepish grin when we plant the right foot from a dig or a roll ... and shortly after have a little giggle at the acceleration... and shake our heads in disbelief when the Gallardo next to you is now in your rearview mirror.

If you drive the car often I suppose you do get accustomed to the acceleration - but driving it on weekends only I dont get a chance to get accustomed to it and am always pleasantly surprised with the cars power.

Giggles all the way ...

some nice cars ;)
to make it simple, i have both, the evo9 and the e55. Two different cars but the e55 is a BETTER daily driver than the evo.
When it comes to the "fun" factor, its a very multi dimensional thing for me... i mean the amg is FUN with all the torque and raw power u feel once the foot is planted and the esp is off on a slippery road..
the evo is like a precision tool... accurate, rewarding and downright makes u want to be a better driver...

get both if u can... u will never look anywhere else.

but if its only ONE u can get, get the AMG first.

KamzAmg--thanks, just the input I was looking for. Upon further thought, an Evo X probably would get tiring as a DD, whereas the E would provide luxury after a long day. OK--I'm convinced!!
