E55 W211
Newbie from over the pond !

Hi Guys
Just thought i`d introduce myself.
I`ve been looking at the site for a while and with a recent purchase of an 03 E55, I thought i`d better join in.
There isn`t much to choose from by way of MB forums over here and I have to say this is a cracking site !
Keep up the good work !
Oh, just thought I better add 1 pic of the motor !

Nice car, hope it treats you well. Stay away from this site or you'll be pouring your extra pounds into mods!

Ours only fold by hand, although I think some of the newer north american S classes have the electronic feature now.

Some people have swapped in euro mirrors and the door switch. I'd like to, so I've been looking around ebay.co.uk and ebay.de trying to find a good deal.

Whats the mileage on your E55?

Mileage is 87k. Mileage has never bothered me as long as you get the history and can tell the cars been looked after. I`m on about car number 320 now haha so I should have a good idea what i`m buying!
I`ll keep my eye out for some mirrors and i`ll let you know.
What kind of value do you put on them ?
