Smile Round 2..

Hey guys-

I just bought E55 #2. I sold my original E55 a year and a half ago and have regretted it ever since. I actually hunted down the exact car and was going to buy it back from the guy who bought it from me. I loved the car but the problem was it didn't have many options at all and the deal was just OK.

As I was planning that trip to Chicago to go pick it up, I found one, located about 10 miles away, that I liked even better. It was a year newer (2006), loaded with features my old one didn't have (NAV, dynamic seats, keyless start, etc..), warranty, 35K miles, better wheels and all around perfect condition. Local guy owned it and practically gave it away. I am SO excited!

Anyways, I thought I would share. I didn't post much when I had E55 #1 but have still hung around this board even during the gap where I was E55-less!

Here are some pics.













Now time for some minor mods
