My 'new' E55

It's a 2003 with 25k miles. It is in great condition, but does not have many options. What do you think!

Looks great! Congrats. The 911 in the background isn't looking too shabby either.

I wouldn't sweat the options thing man. They are nice to "have" but not necessary. If my car didn't have dynamic seats I would want them. However, I have them and NEVER use them. So, just have to figure out what is necessary for you. Good purchase man, looks nice.

Yes, item # 290423614091

Bought the car in the winter, spent a few months tuning it and getting it road ready for daily driving as I planned to drive it April-October. I drove the 911 for 1 week to work (last week) and realized it was not a good daily driver (A/C not good, no cupholder, small). So, bought the 2003 E55 yesterday as a daily and now selling the 911. Confusing..

Nice car. Seems from the pics that the front and rear tires on the pass side look wrong, rear too narrow and front too wide....everything correct here?

I believe so Front tires are 245/40/18, rears are 265/35/18. Tires are brand new, Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1's. Must be the pic angle.

congrats on the E55, I am still waiting for mine to get shipped. loved the last one but only had it for 3 weeks. hoping to make this one last longer. if anything I will help keep the resale value up since there are now fewer to choose from with me driving them
