Steve, you're out of control! I love the fact that you completely gutted the thing before you even put 1 mile on her. Wild.

but on serious part, this is a very good job with e55. To take apart e55 like it is some domestic car. I didn't even know that it is possible to install all this parts on stock e55. All you need now is keyless and panoroof
kidding

Hmm.... I think I'm almost done too since the things that are left I don't think I'm going to do (bi-xenon, TMPS, Euro trunklid). I do think though that I will want heated rear seats at the next visit and maybe a new A-pillar panel. 
Well, at least I think I'm almost done. I'm sure Steve will have something new to show me when he comes again.

Steve enjoys gutting cars .....He gutted my 211 for a few mods when it was brand new.... Wife came out and said what have you done
Also found a Lo Jack..that was HACKED into the car...removed it and took it back to the dealer..The manager asked how did you find it..
the look on his face was priceless .....he has since seen the car..

Wow. Quick response from Vader55. Tks.
But looks like Steve has not updated that schedule. I keep thinking about adding all the MB Options, but worried about squeaks and rattles later in the cars' life. It seems that anytime someone touches a factory car, something develops.
