I like it. I would loose that big merc badge number plate thingy though. It belongs on a bus not an AMG. Other than that

I was going to get those wheels but afterseeing them on your car I dont think they look as good. They still look sick but i thought the spokes would be alittle wide

Personally I love it! I think the brushed really compliments the classy yet sporty side of the car. Glad I could help you with your wheels!

He he i see what you mean. See what happens here is the following. In 05+ models speedo shows 200MPH in mine it shows 160MPH 40PMH less. Well this is due to model year 2004. I got my E55 new in Jan 05 but production year is 04. So there you go the speedo problem is solved. I did not even noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

The harsh lines of the spokes dont flow with the E curves. Remove the front Merc plate, but like the XM, Video Nav, and custom plate.

Yup it is. I upgraded to this one since wanted to have video on motion. I really did not care for built in satellite since I installed my own which is really good. I like this command better then US version which I sold for more than I got this European for. I will recommend this setup. It works well with navigation and phone.

Nice, but I think it would look better with tinted windows
