BMW nut looking to move to an E55
very nice... i've been looking for one too. there seems to be a great number of them being offered for sale.

does anyone have a link to a thread or other source (i've 'searched' without much luck) that lists the colors/color codes for the 2003-2006 E55 AMG's? i found one thread with a list of colors - for the 2003 MY i believe - but it was not complete and did not list the 04-06 colors. even better - i'd love to have a list of interior colors/codes and option codes/descriptions/option prices to help me with my search.

sorry for hijacking your thread . congrats on your purchase... i hope to be joining you soon.

It already has the clear bumperstrip indicators. Nice ride, love the Pano/two-tone. 06 battery is relocated due to spare and black trunk liner.

Nice ride. I think the 03 with Pano roof is a rare combo. Congrats!

Looks like this was one of the 2003 replacement cars since it has NAV and COMAND. That COMAND most likely has the Euro COMAND hardware in it capable of playing DVD movies.

Nice find.

very nice...mileage looks incredibly low. I waited a week to get mine and it felt like eternity. The E55 is an incredible car.

I've had the car for about two months now and I have to say I LOVE it!! The torque is addicting, although my girlfriend doesn't enjoy when I use too much of it with her in the car. She does love the dynamic drive seats, she says it feels like the car is giving her a hug.

Why didn't i buy this car sooner?

Women love the hug, my wife actually likes aggressive curves now. So funny she checks the drive dynamic before she belts up.

I have the comand navi and pano in my 03 as well. Coincidentally it just turned 38k miles too. I just ordered a set of 20s for it that should be here by the end of the week. Mine is black on black though. If you need help on getting the MP3 dvd feature turned on, let me know. It is probably one of the single best features besides the bluetooth hands-free phone. I can bring 5 gigs of music on a dvd and put it in and search through the folders to find what I want to play. Pretty slick. Of course you can play regular dvds while driving down the road as well. Mine has the solar panels in the sun roof which is definitely a great feature for those hot days in the sun for venting the car. Good luck on your car. I always wanted a silver one but black looks the best of any of them when clean..heh.
