2006 E55 AMG --old cars -- E39 M5, 2.7tt Audi S4, E36 M3 **Ducati 996, 748
it took you a year to find a black E55 and you live in Chicago -- and you did not even get a Pano -- You need to work on your search abilities... black E55's loaded without Pano are about the easiest E55's to find--- and Chicago is not a difficult place to find great used cars.

Anyways - congrats on the find -- too bad it took you a year.

I recall how it felt when I got mine; I shall not water down the moment by making unnecessary comments about search abilities...CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats on the car, but I am really jealous about the cross country trip. That had to be a blast!

Loose the chrome headlight rings and that car is perfect! What did CPT charge for the lowering?

West coast and Florida cars tend to be much cleaner than cars you might find in the snow belt, ya there might be more but they are not as show room fresh. I commend you on your search, because at the end of the day you got, what you wanted.
Headlight rings are OK, they give the headlight door a finished look. Most guys don't like them, probably because they are chrome, but if you did a carbon fiber overlay or painted them black the comments would be positive, take a look at AMGFan's rings not one negative comment, his are CF.

Nice car, enjoy it.

Congrats on the new car. How much did you lower via STAR? Notice a difference in ride quality?

Congratulations! I have been looking for over a year as well...

Finding the right car, in the right condition, for the right price, will be worth it. :-) No compromises!
