Pics of my E55!

I've had her for a few weeks. My first AMG was an slk55 back in 05. Traded to an 04 e55 in preparations for family life.

Have to say it doesn't handle like the slk55 but that is expected. The torque is comparable in the low range but mid to high range, the W211 wins. Trunk space and comfortability are a big plus.

Done a few exterior mods but looking at possibly doing the carbon fiber diffusor for the front and rear.

Also, does anyone know how to get touch up paint for the silver AMG calipers?

Very nice. "Torque is comparable in the low range" that's odd.

the E55 should have WAY more low end torque than the SLK did.

Forgive my ignorance! I'm sure the E55 has more torque and also alot more weight. What I am trying to say is the acceleration is roughly the same in the low end.

fron and rear carbon diffusers will be next.

Can your shop do the maintenance and what are your rates?
