My first E55

Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself and my new ride I just picked up recently. I live in the Bay Area, CA and got car from So Cal. Flew down there and drove her back home. Such a fun and comfortable ride... Lots of power!!! and that is just stock. I look forward to learning more about this amazing vehicle on this forum. Here is a pic of her... any feedback is appreciated. Cheers!

I have the same feeling too... I actually picked up 18" OEM wheels while I was down there (Thanks BenJ!!!) I had them balanced this morning and will be installing soon. I like the OE look. We'll see...
