Silver E55s
Can you guys post pics of your silver E55s?
The only fully-loaded '06 I can find on eBay is silver... so I might have to settle. I'm more of a black car kinda guy though...

I wouldn't settle. Everytime you look at that silver paint, you're going to wish it was black. It's hard to do, but I'd wait it out. Paint color isn't something that's easy/cheap to change like wheels.

But then everytime you wash your car you wish it was silver. I had a black 5 series when it was clean I loved it.
It is very hard to maintain a black car all the imperfections, chips, swirl marks, stand out.
That is why I bought a silver e55.
I have to agree black looks more agressive than silver.
If my e55 was not my daily drive I would get it in black.

I dont mind washing it
Ugh, I've been looking for weeks
I want every option (except parktronic or distronic)...
2006 (just because the mileage is in my range)... 30-40k miles
Black leather, gray wood
Under $38k... no luck
Might have to settle on a different car...

Silver says it all
I agree black is more aggressive but it tends to hide the body lines of the car. You cant really see the lines of the side skirts and aprons. Hard to keep clean.
Silver says it all.

Silver E55 AMG...
I had always gone with the black benz. I decided to go with silver this time and it has really grown on me. The Pano roof makes a difference too...

Unless you are really careful and super **** with the paint... Black is a nightmare !!!
My wife has a black X5 and I cringe every time I wash it. I swear it needs a once a month clay baring. I hate nothing more then when you detail you car and it still looks dirty or a big spider just webbed that bithc up !!
Go silver!!
