Was the E55 built for speed or status?

I think it is....4000lb sedan that runs low 12's/high 11's in the1/4mile in stock form while giving you a massage the whole time...not many cars can do that.
qat = Sell your 'pos' and go drive your $40k...odyssey...have at it. I'll give you $20k for you car "as is." We are enthusiasts and love these cars regardless of their present value. Many members have offered their help to you but you remain ungrateful and bitter.

What help?- more like refferals
I didn't expect anything from anyone- so why would I be ungrateful and bitter if I have no expectations?
Its more like people take quick offense because they can't handle the idea that someone is saying something neg about their only prized possession
People have a right to express their opinions does not mean they don't like their car
I should not have to explain myself- If you not mature enough to understand then thats your problem

Funny- its not a super car- you can buy as many as you want on AutoTrader
I don't expect you to understand but what I was getting at was- why would I pretend I own an E55- its not unique.
You should consider reading the threads thoroughly before making a misinformed judgement- being prejudice won't get you far

The monetary amount is not in question. The fact that you whine like a troll who is against cars like MB and BMW is.
Most owners of these cars take pride in them. Also, owners of these cars do not let dealerships roll over them the way you do also bringing into question your authenticity. It is a state of mind that true owners of these vehicles have...that you seem to lack.
You are either the exception to the rule, or a poser who is trolling and trying to make said brands of vehicles look bad.
A picture of your vehicle with your username would at least start to validate you are the exception to the rule.

Since you know so much about Mercedes owners- Do they act like little sissy girls when they hear neg. news about their MB vehicles?
Lets face it, nothing is perfect. I like my car more than not. Just had a few questions about my car and then a bunch of girls chimed in and tried to do some trash talking and hair pulling- luckily my hair is very short.
You girls could have killed the thread but like many girls do- they complain so now this thread is a girl complaining forum- complaining to the WHINER. Let me have it girls- give me your best shot. Unload the Estrogen.

Looks like we passed the poser test with flying colors...and without Jangy or CH's help.

Why do these threads always end up a slagging match.
Your answer is an E55 is built for comfort and straight line speed.
Don't bother resetting the ECU I have tried but is hasn't cured my fault.
My 600 had a new g/box, since then I have a problem similar to yours.
Before I needed to give a slight pressure on the throttle for it to change down
very responsively, now I push the throttle, nothing...sometimes it almost
feels like the harder I push the slower it goes, then it will suddenly change down 1 or 2 gears with a jerk and scream the engine.
I have taken to the main dealer, he says it feels OK to him!!! But I know different. So somebody tell him what's wrong with his car as it might cure mine.

"Karma means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction that governs all life.

So in other words his minivan will be rear ended this weekend by someone with no insurance who runs. And an E55 owner will drive by while the smoke clears and flip him off...

And speaking of junkyards, that's where whatever you *really* drive belongs...and I'm picturing some kind of riced-out Acura legend from 1992. Or maybe a cracked out SC300 lexus. I bet ur saving up for that fake gucci-print interior.
Keep trying poser. Still waiting on that pic of your "alleged" Benz, by the way. Something tell me we'll be waiting for awhile. Now you have to go out and find one in a parking lot somewhere that matches your description of "your" car so you can photograph it. Damn. What a PITA.

I just read a little further down the page after typing my response to you, only to realize that I was 100% right about you from the beginning!
A total poser! Bahahahhahaa. I knew it right off the bat. Props to me.
What are you, 12? Honestly? I haven't seen anyone try to pull the "Oh ya, you only THINK you busted/embarassed/pwned/humiliated me, because really that was my plan all along" thing since I was in elementary school. That was a real popular tactic back then. Glad to see it's still alive and well.

He was just pulling the oldest trick in the book, the ole' "Oh, I completely pwned myself just to see whether YOU would fall for it or not" routine. Such a steaming pile of mushroom-growing crap.
