Ok, i personally believe that had he kept the E55 badge, that would have make him look stupid, so putting the E63 badge was was probably the smart thing to do.
We all know what E55s and E63s look like.
Driving in a car that pretty much looks like an E63 but says E55 would attract everyones attention in a negative way.
If i had done all that he had, i too would probably have changed the badge.
I see where a lot of people are comming from but i also see what this guy was thinking.
Lastly the black paint on the top...... I would say the car definitely looks better with it.
So i think in a glance, what he did, did make his car stand out more and look better.
But if it is examined in detail then there are many things that one would laugh about.
That being said, most people will only look at his car in a glace on the road, so he is in an over all winning position.
My my thought....
Just so you know my car is all stock.

your point to me would hold a little water if maybe he would of swapped the motor's. since 63 describes the motor size more then the body IMO

04 - 06 e55 Wagon - looking for
Reminds me whan I went to Golf Galaxy in S. Cal. A middle aged women pulled up next to me and took up two spots in front of the store. She was driving an e350 with quad exhaust. She got out with her young daughter (I suppose) and as we were walking to the front door, she cut me off and walked through the door first. I wasn't going to say anything, but decided to say 'nice quad exhaust' after she passed me. She looked at me and didn't say anything. Not sure if she even knew what I meant. Then maybe she did
