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 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...

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.
