BACK WITH A NEW RIDE

Hey guys! Im back from my 2 week vaccation from MB World for arguing with trolls on the board that I see still dont own MBs. It is really unfortunate they allow these trolls to exist. On another note, while I was off I purchased a 2004 E55 with 37000 miles. The car has a EC pully, tune and a Heat exchanger. It is a perfect car and actually I really like the silver! It also has a clear bra across the entire front end. I have a E63 spoiler, flat badge and xenon fogs on the way. I need help with wheels. I am buying a set from the Godfather but can not decide on the color. Gunmetal, black, or flat black Forgestar F-14s. Benzoboi's car has always been a favorite car of mine! Here are a few pics. One of the daily driver RS4 as well!

Thanks to W211beast for checking out the car in Cali! Thanks bro!

Funny mike, I could view when I was suspended but could not post and I saw your car! I too think the silver shows the car off and yours was one of my inspirations as well! Forgot, I have to do the grill also! Car should be here from transport Sunday. thanks!

Welcome back and congrads on both cars! (always loved the Audi RS's). How long are you gonna keep them for this time?

I vote for either gunmetal (it's a really dark GM and I think it would complement any CF additions in the future - plus just a little different but not too much) or piano black.

It's rare to find pics of a silver 55 with gunmetal wheels but this member just posted pics of his Estate with GM SL65 wheels.

LOL, the wife is getting sick of the constant change. She hates how I spend oddoles of money pimping them out just to sell them. The Duc is still looking good! Thanks! I was thinking Gm too! I have done black a few times now!

Nice car! I'm excited to see the new wheels as my silver E55 has factory wheels and I'm thinking I might upgrade when I next replace tires.

The RS4 is fun as hell in a 6 speed AWD kind of way, but it does not compare to the brute torque of the E55. The Milltek exhaust makes it sound realy nasty. I wish the E55 would sound as good. I like them both for different reasons and with the Dunlop WinterSports it cant be stopped in the snow! The only down side is it is still a small little A4 in the inside. What is also depressing is the engine looks the same under the hood as my wifes A6 V8 with the exception of the carbon fiber. The carbon fiber is only a cover and the same as my wifes engine cover only hers is black plastic. If I sell it maybe I will swap them out. hee hee hee!
