W211 E55
Another poseur...got in the smackdown on this one
I'm rocking the rental minivan while the sparkplugs are getting changed (all 16!!!) in the E55, and I see this guy:
.
I snap a few, laugh a bit, and exit the highway. Glancing to the right, I notice the latest laughingstock pull up beside me, golf hat on, sleeve rolled up, chillin.
Should I?
I couldn't resist. "Wow ! is that an E55?" The cast has been made.
"You bet. I've had it about a year." He bit. Now to set the hook.
"Well, how come you only have a single exhaust?"
-pause-
"What do you mean?" he inquires, mouth slightly agape. I can't believe he's actually asking for more.
"I'm talking about the little droopy pipes on the left side of your car. You're driving a six-cylinder. Next time you might want to get the badges on the correct sides of the car too."
"Fuck you. How would you know?"
"Because I drive one, you FAKER !"
He rewarded my astute eye with the most noble of single-digit salutes, an attempt at a peel-out, and a sheepish look. Catch-and-release. What a sport.

huauhuahuahuauhuahuauha classic!!
once I pulled up next to a clown in a fake W210 55. I was in my W210 55 which was debadged at the time, or I had the blacked out badges (on a black car), so you couldn't really see. I pulled up next to him and looked at him like "wow an E55!" and he tried to floor it. I floored mine and raped him.

Do whatever you wish but is a possible confrontation worth it. I think not. Besides, you can only return fire if you are able to. Not worth it. So if you shoot and kill him it makes it right? Sometimes it's better just to let things go and let the posers think they're fooling people. No need to speak, let your car do the talking. Blow his doors off!

I could well be wrong given the one photo but that looks like a real W210 E55. Exhaust looks 100% real and it has the E55 tinted taillights. The wheels are the correct style and the ride height looks the part too.
Many poor body shops dont have a clue how to fix a trunk if it is painted and they sick the badges in the wrong locations.
If I am wrong, I take back my comments but I am not 100% sure the comments were just at this point!

2006 E55 BEAST
I agree that it does look VERY similar to a real E55. But OP said that it didnt take off like an E55 and the exhaust didnt look 100%. And I kind of agree witht eh guys who said it wasnt worth a possible confrontation, but at the same time... its a hell of a lot of fun to call out posers.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do bro, just looking out for you in all honesty. The last topic I want to see started here is: "forum member so-so killed over exposing loser". What IF, he pulls out a gun and takes the first shot and suddenly you have a new "rose wood" dash... it would be hard for you to return fire with your brains in the passenger seat wouldn't it?
I quite frankly happen to find this "game" rather immature. Hardly worth a life... or even the risking of one. Of course, it's your choice and you will do as you please, just keep in mind not everyone finds it funny and people have been killed for less.

Chicago, it sounds like you may owe this guy an apology.................no?
I give you props for keeping it real but like others have said you never know what kind of reaction you're going to get from the guy you confront.
I can see the new thread title now: When Chicago's Keeping it Real Goes Wrong............ MBworld member pumped full with six rounds during his attempt at exposing a suspected poser.

Its all in good fun.
Lets not label these guys as "posers" They are just driving a clone Kinda like the many thousands of "SS" Camaro's or Chevelle's out there. It's just cheaper to buy the badges because 99.9 percent of the population wouldnt know a AMG from a grilled cheese sandwich.

It looks to be a real 210 E55 with the badging on wrong. Real 210 E55's have only one muffler on the left side of the car as the one in the picture does.
Here is a link to some 210 E55's for sale. You may owe the guy an apology if you ever see him again.
