New Pics - 3 Months Update

2004 E55 AMG

So.. I have had this car 3 months, and the only thing I have done so far is lower it (links) and add the wheels. Been to the weekend drags twice, and the car is quick stock. Have some things up my sleeve but I'll save that for another thread...

Options: Pano - Solar Panel - Side and Back Sun Shades - Parktronic - Keyless Go - Heated / Vented Seats - Dynamic Seats - Nav.. I guess thats it (Oh yea, Bi Xeon... if I think of anything else, I am not afraid to edit) :P

It powers a fan that ventilates the interior when parked.


Very nice car

The Solar Panels (Front and back of the Pano) run the fan/vent when car is parked.. Kinda cool, and somewhat rare.

I was sitting in the car farting around with something the other day with the car off, and the fans came on. I was like: WTF.. oh yea.. then I smiled

Thanks JKI

Factory option in 2003 and 2004.. I do not believe they were availible any other year. I have only seen one other, and it was on Autotrader.. never seen another in person, although I don't get out much

There are a few guys on here with the Solar Panels, but it does seem to be a rare option...

New wheels will be Tectite centers / Polished lips.. As I mentioned, being built now. I didn't want to be a wheel *****, I just sorta fell into it. (The centers are black here, but being changed.. should look good. Or Ill buy some others)

The HRE's on your car right now are on the money IMO with the drop. I have links also and they are great because it is as simple as hitting one button and your done.

Normally not a fan of a full polish wheel, but your car looks really good. It is going to look even better with the new setup though!

I like the wheels that are on your car now. The polished HRE set looks great!

Your worst nightmare...
Just can't go wrong with HREs. A class of its own.

+1 It was only optional on 2003 models and early production 2004. The option is actually rare if you consider all the 2003 and 2004 models out there without it. Great car by the way
