Well I pulled the trigger and sealed the deal on an 2006 E55. Car should be here from Texas by this coming Tuesday. Figured I need to introduce myself in this section since I did in off topic as I was deciding on which model to purchase. After speaking with Kevin Ingold, at MB of Buckhead Performance Center, over the last 3 days he has given me a great performance map for a great price as soon as the car arrives. Here is my original intro post to the site and some pics of the car prior to shipment (Yes I am changing the rims..lol)

Welcome!!

Hope it'll live up to your expectation.

I have no doubt it will, the shop here has put me in contact with some other E55 owners who have some of the mods I am planning and I am very impressed to say the least. They have invited me down to witness some of their projects being put together, pretty psyched about that
