I've been on for a while now. I was thinking about an E55 but bought an SL instead. Then, went for an M5. Well, I now have the opportunity to possibly buy an '04 E55 with 16k miles and original owner for under $30k. Pretty good deal considering the low miles. My wife also has a 2003 BMW 325 we just bought 3 months ago and are thinking about selling it and getting the 55. The only thing is the wife needs to drive it to see how it feels to her. She doesn't like driving the M because it's a stick and she sometimes gets stuck in traffic. I should know if it's available by this Sunday. Will keep you posted. Shopping for cars...don't you just love it!

Well e55 for the wifey. Rather give her the sl. The e55 has some serious torque, you may appreciated the car more than the misses.
Under 30k is pretty good deal for the e55.

Yea. We actually drive all of them. I scared the crap out of my son (17) when we test drove an E55. Same with the M5. Maybe I'm nuts...it's still a great feeling having torque and power at your "feet". Needless to say our kids won't be driving either of them if we end up buying the 55.
