And then we just have some rude people as well.
I can only imagine what you will do to the E55 but too bad it will never hold a speed candle to your other rides.
Guys do a search at 6speed and see what he has done with his cars (Same handle)- mighty impressive and some even think he owns stock in HRE

Weclome to this site SW- I think people here generally question newbies if their stables are too strong... and in the case it was incorrect to do so.

I have come across a 2004 E55 w/ 29k miles. It is Obdisian Blk/ Charcoal int, Glass roof, rear shades, Comfort package, Dynamic seats, Lighting package, Nav, 6 disc changer, keyless go and trunk closer. It has a built Brabus motor, ustage 2 camshafts, upgraded supercharger, Brabus headers/exhaust, lowering module and tint. Stock wheels. I am supposed to go look at it this weekend.

Thanks man, I will do that. I want one because I think they are a great car for the money. I have 2 Police interceptors that I use when I go to the mall or when it might rain. I end up driving them alot. Sunday, my wife and I were going to lunch in the Police car, and she finally said, can we get something else to drive? I was looking around and I thought that a E55 would be perfect, I could modd it and my wife could also drive it.

As far as Brabus goes-- not many people on here have Brabus cars but I suspect that is due to the high price, not the lack of quality.

SW,
I sent you a PM. You have to be wary about some of these built up MBs because we unfortunately have a fair share of owners who ship their cars to people to have them built and really have no idea what has been done or if the things that they paid for were even really installed. More dollars than sense.
I think in most cases you will be best served going with a pristine, low mileage stock example than a built car. Many people simply do not know what they are doing when they start modifying these cars and it can have truly dire consequences.
It would be great to have you join our community.

Ya you basically make up half of the HRE gallery for cars lol. Sorry for going off topic but how do you feel about the ADV1 wheel quality compared to HRE?

Not really, headers, hi-flo cats, lowered, clear bra, 20" HREs.. I am waiting on some parts from Lingenfelter, should make 720+rwh..
Haha, HRE builds the best wheels in my opinion, but the ADVs are also very good. The finish is nice and so far no issues. I have a set on my Lambo, but I just ordered another set of HREs for it. I do have more HREs than any other wheel.

Car free at the moment
Since you're in Tejas, Ewing autohaus in Plano has a 2005 CPO w/27K-ish (my memory isn't that good). Black over black, with the common options. They want too much money for it, but it's been there a month now, so perhaps they are getting a bit negotiable.

LOL. From the looks of things, money is not really a worry! I think he just wants a nice car at almost any price!

It looks like you still have the '69 mustang. As crazy as it sounds, that might be my favorite car in your stable!
