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.

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

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.

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!
