Spotted Black E55 with rims in Elgin IL.

Today at around 4pm I took my kids to Taekwondo in the corner of Mclean and Bowes Rd. He was getting close from the local cleaners there. Are you on this forum?

There is a guy with a 2004 Black E55 in South Barrington. He has 19" HRE wheels. He's not on this Forum.

I've seen a Black e55 in Bloomingdale. He had black rims with polished lips. Looks very sharp.

Hey FCSmthree...We should to a local meet and greet at Bannerman's on 59 and Stearns.

It would be close for us.

I'll bring the wife's gl450...I just got it lowered and I did my e500 as well. (after I saw your car that night at starbucks, my car looked like it was up in the air like a 4x4.)

I don't see a reason to come all the way to this cleaner though so I think its not the same guy. I don't recall the rim make but they definitely had black in them.

Yup, I live right off of Rt 59 by Stearns, I'm on there everyday. My fiancee lives in Naperville so I'm always going back and forth on 59.

I'm in Naperville, Rt 59 and 95th Street. I say we hit meet at Hugos Frog bar in Downtown Naperville, you should see the valet line there on a night with nice weather. Ferrari, Lambo, Lambo, Aston, Bentley probably another Lambo or two. Some nice scenery of the female type as well. Then we can do some cougar hunting and then go for a little ride! I think cougar season is officially open!

Holy mother! This meet would be definitely worth it to see the black series

Funny I've never seen your car before, I'm always in and around Naperville.....especially on 59 and downtown.

Naperville is a much nicer area, especially the downtown area, but that sports bar on 59 and stearns has a big parking lot to display the cars...plus its closer for me

You have never seen my car because I took delivery of it last September, I did put about 1500 miles on it around town, but then I sent the car to Evosport in California on about November 1st. Plus there are 150,000 people in Naperville. I just got the car back about a month ago, and as you know our weather has been less than perfect. I was in Dallas this past weekend and I am heading to Vegas this weekend. Hopefully by the time I get home we will have some solid weather and I plan on starting to put some hard miles on it. If you are in Naperville often you will see me, if you do say hi. I frequent Hugos, Jillies, Bar Louie, Kiku and some others. See ya soon!

There is a little restaruant called Gigi's on the far southwest side of Naperville (not downtown), it's at 111th and Rt 59. A couple Sundays a month the Viper club and Miata club meet up there for breakfast. I'm not saying we should start any trouble, but those V10 Viper guys really hate getting beat up on by four door sedans

I have talked to a bunch of them on several occasions, they are always doing some track event or drive or car show or something. Pretty organized bunch. I eat up there nearly every Saturday and Sunday morning. Next time I see them I will find out if they are interested. I'm out of town this weekend so it will have to wait.

The bar in Bartlett is called Bannerman's sports bar.

It's not a fancy place, but it is less than a year old with lots of tv's and a good sized parking lot.
