New E63!

Before I get flamed, just want to let everyone know that this is not my car, its my grandparents. I have been posting on this forum to find out info for them, and they finally picked up there car this week. They decided to trade in there 2003 CL55 for the E63, they wanted to get the S63, but the "idrive" system in the car was just too complicated for them.

I have put about 100 miles on this car so far, and it is very nice. I did like the CL55 better, but this is also a very nice and fast car. The one option they did not get is the 030 package, but they defn. didnt need that. The dealer installed a K40 and 35% tint for them.

Here are some pics I took of the E63, my G35, and the CL55 they just traded in.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

Also thank you ChicagoX for the help and pm's on G35driver!

















Some pics of my G35.

The most interesting part of your post to me, is that your GRANDPARENTS got a K40 radar detector installed. Tell them I said "Go ahead with your bad selves"

Yea, they had a K40 in the CL55, and my grandmother has a K40 in her LS460.

The new bluetooth system works great, it picked up a state trooper on the parkway about 1.5-2 miles before I could see him.

I have a Turbonetics single turbo kit on my G35, and yes it does have an open atmosphere BOV (little too loud for me).

Looks great. Thanks for the pics. E63 proves the W211 platform can still look very fresh.

Where can I get a quality set of clear side markers, I would rather buy a good set, because they look like a p.i.t.a to take out. Also I would get clear markers and put orange bulbs in them, I dont like blue side markers that I have seen on a few cars even if they match the hid color.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Tom
