Which rims you getting for the E55?
Not sure yet, something with some nice concave and some fat rubber to handle the torque out back

Otherwise, torque that causes seizures in young and old alike....ahhhhh ain't nothing like it.

Here's the first thing you should get familiar with. AMG constantly has the car adapting to your driving and if you are in traffic, she will setup the shift patterns pretty soft.

Do a sneaky ECU reset and she perks right back up. It's harmless. Just resets shift patterns.

Enjoy...link to procedure here
Thanks for the info! I've heard of this ecu reset before, excited to try it out this weekend when the weather clears up over here.
