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.

'03 E55
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.

Thanks - I'm coming from a 335 and the rear fold down seats have been a great option to transport larger items, especially a bike, while having the ability to keep them out of site and locked.

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.
