Bicycle in Trunk
I'm a long time lurker and will be purchasing a 2005 E55 in the next few months. My question, after coming up empty searching the archives, is will a road bicycle with the front tire taken off fit in the trunk of an 2005 E55? I know that split seats are not offered in any AMG model but wonder if the trunk is big enough to accommodate a bike. Thanks in advance.

If you forgot to mention that it's a child-sized road bike, then yes, you should be OK, otherwise I think you're probably out of luck. Although the trunk is pretty large for a midsize car, at a minimum it will require both tires off and even then I would guess no.

Someone here will know but I would have thought split folding rear seats WERE an option. They are on M-cars. I've not checked the S but will do when I'm out of work.

Not sure whether the E55 comes with split fold down seats. The E63 did. I'm a roadie as well and needed the xtra space which is why I bought the 63er. If the 55er does not have fold downs, you'll have to take the front and rear off. With fold down, front alone will do.

take front and rear tires off and it will fit no problem. I fit a 19" frame mountain bike in the trunk of my car when I HAVE to, not my favorite thing to do but it fits.
