New E55 pics from Sydney
The following W211 E55 pics are photographed by Greg Stone (enots) from Austraila. Check his post here for more pics from the Sydney Motor Show
What a great looking car!
However, the downpoint maybe that it has some very slight resemblance to the Lexus GS especially from a front quarter view (pic #2).

Looks MARVELOUS! However, not sure about the way that big silver thing looks in the front spoiler. Whether the Radiator or Intercooler, not sure - It should not stand out that much - it makes it look "RICEY!"
BimmerLover - the car will have steering wheel paddle shifting - that seems lick some fun ala M3 SMG style.

here are the some new pics posted today by Greg (enots) from the bmwm5.com forum. Thread is as posted by Gustav above.
Black certainly looks to be a great color for this car.

Hey,
I think the color on the pics is actually extremely dark green (Jade Black Metallic... I believe). I'm hooked onto it too after seeing an E500 with this color up close at the local dealer in Vancouver (Burnaby actually). At first I thought it was black and didn't pay much attention to it, but when there is direct lighting the metallic green really shines out.
But do you guys think this color will only suit the black/black leather interior? Would it look rather awkward to have a metallic green exterior and a black/red or black/blue interior on the E55?

Even if i sell both my cars i'd still be very short of the MSRP lol...not to mention pain in the *** monthly payments. hahaha, E55 is too much car for me.

Do you see to the right of the steering wheel a ((P)) that is on a handle that you can pull, thats what releases the parking brake. Ofcourse on left hand drive cars its on the left.
