2003 E55
Bought an E55 - Thought I would share my excitement

Well, just about a month ago I purchased Alex (Chicago) 2003 E55. The transaction was simply awesome, great guy, great follow-through! Truly happy to take ownership of the car!

I have come from a world of a modified Audi TT, S2K, owned Bimmers, Jags, Hummers and NOTHING compares to the E55. I truly hope to become an active participant in this forum and learn from others that appreciate this car!

Thanks for all the sound advise on this forum, I have learned much through the "search function" already!

A shot of my old "beast"



A shot of where my new "beast" rests!



And shots of the E55 on a nice drive I took today....



Beautiful Day for late November!!!



And... the awesome interior, love the two-tone and Pano Roof!!!

Nice pics, that was one of the cars I considered, I just didn't move fast enough to get it. I hope to join the club next week, with a purchase from another member on here. Enjoy your beast!

Aleks, what are you getting to replace it? A new 63?

Also I really like the look of your 55--what body kit/aero parts did you install? The side skirts & front area really make the car look like a modern E63, which I like.

Congrats on the car, just one thing IMHO- dump the 5.5 badge on the side- it makes the car too busy.

Welcome - beautiful ride

+1 - agree - remove the 55 bage under the Kompressor badge - or pick one of them and commit

On the 5.5 badge, car came with it, so I am hesitant to take it off, wondering if there will be residue underneath. Somedays, it looks sweet and others, I'll look at it and think it is too "busy" ...

Appreciate the words, always open to good feedback!!!

The 5.5 badge is fairly new as it only came out about a year or so ago. I'd take it off. A good wax cleaner should do the job.
