Thanks for the pics! That's a great car you have. Congrats.

But why de-badge when your license plate gives the game away?

I forgot to ask- were the wheels optional? Do you think they are lighter than the new style being offered?

Lovely..

E55AMG99 - Those wheels are the AMG 5 spoke wheels - You can choose to have those or the split spokes at no extra cost.

I heard alot about the "brake by wire" not being as responsive as the "old fashioned" brake pedal. Is this true with your car?? Is the braking good? Does the pedal have a good feel to it?? Thanks for the info.

I like these brakes, you need to get used to it. it's also a matter of taste..

btw. Here is my dynosheet 480hp / 6140rpm and 730nm / 2690rpm (corrected)..what about exhaust-lengths? this proofs it as marketing bull****. slipping slightly so truth is about 500hp and 750nm...

Thanks for the pics. Very exciting. I have already made one of them the wallpaper on my main computer.

What is the arrow in the middle of the speedometer?

Tell us more about your experince.

Why marketing bull****? It delivers exactly what AMG promises.
Why is the truth around 500 HP and 750 Nm if your dynosheets shows 480? I don't get it.

BTW: forget about dyno runs. They're great for comparison (before/after) but not for real precise power measurements.
Unless you take out the engine...

Now here's exactly the problem: one reason why such dynoruns are fun but worth nothing (well, maybe a nice paper impressing other people ).
Let them put your engine out and test it directly on an engine dyno. This doesn't cost a fortune and delivers pretty interesting results.

I'm trying to say that dyno runs don't tell much about precise HP figures, they're good for comparison runs (vehicle A vs. vehicle B or status A vs. status B) only.
Take a car and dyno it. Take the same car and dyno it after a few days. And then take the same car and dyno it on a different dyno brand. You'll be surprised.
The only chance to get an accurate dyno figure is to take out the engine...

Well, I already enjoyed your pics, I really liked them.
I want to see more of your beautiful car.

I post my pics as soon as I have the car (should be end of april, my car is at AMG right now), up til now my only experience with the E 55 is with two testcars from my dealer. BTW: if someone needs a E 55 in Germany for immediate delivery, my dealer still has an obsidian-metallic one in stock (brandnew).

As soon as I get my car, we plan doing some real life comparison testing with a SLK 32 AMG, Porsche 996 Turbo, Ferrari F355 Spider, 360 Modena, Lamborghini Diablo, etc. Will be fun.
