Welcome me to the E55 club

I just purchased a new daily driver from one of our board members here (Vic55). I bought his 04 Evosport E55. All I Can say is this car is super fast and very well taken care of . Ive driven a stock E55 before, and its NOTHING like this one. This car is just so much faster. I finally understand all the hype the 55 guys rant and rave about. This motor truly is a work of art. especially with all the evosport and AMG goodies its got on there. Yesterday, I ran my bros CLS63 and completely murdered him up to 100. I ran my ML also and needless to say, that car got annihialated too. Im looking forward to taking this car to the 1/4 mile track and see what it can do. Maybe even give some of you guys some good runs Here are a few phone pics I took, I will get some better shots soon.

Congradulations on the E55K, You have a nice pair of cars now.

The ML63 is the perfect daily driver with the Ecu,Exhaust's and filters, whilst the E55 is the cruising and highspeed run's car.

I was gonna say, "Let the modding begin!", but you jumped ahead of us on this one. That car is already SMOKIN!!

Be careful with er (can be deceptively fast) and enjoy. You got a great one!

Thanks guys. I havent driven the ML since I got the E on Thursday LOL. This car truly is a beast. One question for 04 owners. Since my speedo only goes to 160, Does the digital display go past 160??

The lease on the ML is up in a year. I think Ill trade that for the C63


I dont like getting tickets in the mail, so I leave the plates off

Well to tell you the truth, I'm actually not that surprised. Vic sent me this e-mail a few of weeks ago:
