So with coilovers, will the E55 pretty much handle like this? VID

I wish, but even half that is more than enough for me. So are you going to do the coilover swap soon? I'm doing research and collecting parts this winter.

Even with magical coilovers it wouldn't even come close. lol!

If i didn't know any better was that Pavarotti under the hood singing that wonderful symphony? The sound on that SLS is just intoxicating.

I can haz???


Id be willing to bet that if we were able to put coilovers on the W211, it would handle A LOT better. Night and day difference. Then again...all I'm doing is assuming...

I know Frank wanted a blue M3, and had to settle for a red one... I'll take a blue SLS and F the ole' lady if she does not like it!
