For the past 18 months I have been looking for a E55 Wagon and just this past week I finally gave up the needle in a haystack search and turned my attention to other possible solutions to my enthusiast/family hauling needs. Then it happened. I saw this car on Friday of last week here in San Diego at Del Mar Highlands shopping center and almost crashed my car into Jamba Juice! Let me say, in person, this car is sick beyond description. I am 43 years old and those lime green calipers mixed with the muted black trim absolutely set this car off! For those of you that do not know this area of California (Del Mar) it is crawling with some of the rarest and most exclusive automobiles anywhere outside of Rodeo Drive. I am quite jaded by all the hardware rolling around this area but this E55 made me do a complete 180 degree change of mind with regards to finding an E55 Wagon. After seeing it I went straight home and started my search all over for an E55 Wagon. And shock of all shocks, the next day one pops up 3 hours from me and I am now the proud owner of a 2005 E55 Wagon! All because of this car!

I am SO GLAD to finally know who owns this car and all that went into it. Bow down to it because it has that "it", that presence that is so hard to give a car. It doesn't look like it's trying too hard and yet it screams "speed". Wow.

Thanks for posting that. This car is very special. Chapparone Autobody has done great work in executing the planned scheme for the car. I am happy that this car appeals all ages. Thank for this!
