Greatest hand me down ever? Quite possibly!!
Dont post here very often but I guess you guys will be seeing some more of me here starting today 
My father loaned me his 04 E55 a littler over 2 months ago to make my 40 mile commute to and from school every day a bit easier, as my 330CI has been acting up over the past few months. He lives/works in Iran for the majority of the year so a few days ago he made it official and handed the car over to me for good!
I have no plans on further increasing the power for a very long time, but id like to so some visual mods, including wheels, a vorsteiner rear diffuser and some lighting mods.
Mods on the car already include the Brabus K8 package, Brabus CF Lip, Full JL audio system, 1.4in Slam all around and a V1 built into the rear view mirror.
Anyways im just glad to be a member of the 211 55K club, and feel greatful to have such a car. Ive officially converted to the Dark Side of the force.......and I like it a lot better here

Good to see you rolling the E, my brother and hope all else is well in your life.
Make sure you get a Vorsteiner piece you like. I know they are a big company and I am also friends with an employee, but my personal Vorsteiner experience was disgusting. I committed to buying it because it was to be a solid CF lip vs the partial CF on Fiber Glass and it went south from there. I called EVOSport and Vorsteiner at least 3 times each and no response. I wrote it off as they such and are strickly for cosmetics. The front lip is on the ground, gathering spider webs if you wanna buy it? HAHA!!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. The car is pretty filthy right now So ill wait to take pics tomorrow after I get her washed. The brabus K8 package thats on the car is only the engine, Illuminated Door Sills and pedals and such. I would like to wait a bit and let the interior detarioirate before I go about messing with it. The leather only has 35K worth of wear and tear on it.
