1) White w/pano and black interior (what I have)
2) black and black interior
3) silver with black interior and brushed aluminum after-market wheels (the silver imho is a little too understated, but with some nice rims it looks pretty nice)

I thought I ran across a tectite (sp?) gray with a maroon-ish interior once in my search. I am having a brain fart trying to remember if that was a 55 or not, but that would be my favorite combo.

Assuming you mean exterior and interior colors, I vote silver outside, black inside.

If you're talking about exterior combinations, I vote white and black. White base car with black rims, trim, spoiler, etc.

Mine is white/panno and I always get positive feedback. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder but (and in no order) they all have different personalities:

Black = Mean and Nasty (period)

Silver = Vintage (there is a particular SL55 with Rims and Glass Paint with hundreds of hours of work to get it to look like it does on this forum I am a fan of!)

White/Panno = way better than most people would think. The dealer said "best combo I have seen" and those who thought "sissy" (it is what it is) when I told them my car is white said "WOW, does that look nice, especially with the black roof".

Tectile Grey = Never Seen an AMG in person in this color - very favorable feedback

Dark Blue = Looks Fun, I saw one with a heavy tint and looked real nice

There are a few colors I would stay away from personally but you decide.

I see black and silver E55's for sale. I have not seen but one white with pano for sale. They want 55k for a 2004. They are crazy . If anyone knows of someone wanting to get rid of this combo tell them to let me know.

white/pano looks great but for me the weight addition in the wrong place would mean that I'd stick to obsidian/black.

1. Silver/Black w/ Pano
2. White/Black w/ Pano
3. Gray/Black w/ Pano

I love silver, since it is so easy to take care of. I can go weeks without washing it and it still looks great even when it rains. I will never own a black car again considering I hate detailing cars. White is nice, except when it rains.

Is/was it an option to get carbon fiber trim instead of wood?

Carbon fiber was part of the 2003 President's Edition. The car came loaded with every option available including Distronic & Navigation which were not released at that time. Also it was fitted with 19" wheels, AMG lit door sills and a $12K Carbon fiber trim. The two center console lid flippers were replaced with burl wood and I made the dealer replace them to spec. It was quite an ordeal AMG wanted them to pay for the entire $12K package. The ash tray lid has the AMG seal in gold under the clear coat. Only 7 President editions were made. There are two stories I have heard as to why they were created. They made them for executives of MBNA the other is that 7 dealerships were awarded them for their sales performance.
