Hello, new here. Just bought an E55
Pic is a bit crappy, however wanted to get one up asap, since I know I will be hounded until I do. New to MBWorld, not new to forums. (Read, I know how to use search.)
Been lurking for a little while and as usual, good forums have a lot of good info. So thanks.
To the meat of things....
2005 E55, Obs. Black, 46k miles, Renntech tune with pulley.
It looks like it has an E63 rear spoiler, and some headlight jewelry I am not sure I like yet. Going to let those soak in a while.
Wheels I like, just not sure of the make. 19" with 275 rear and 245 front.
LED Brake lights, flat badge and black grill.
Not many options. Premium Pkg(Pano, 6CD), Nav, lighting pkg (Xenons)
My 335i with mods was impressive, this thing is just downright scary fast. And torque... well I know I don't have to even say anything. I think I am going to have to upgrade my older Passport 8500.
The only mod I am looking at in the near term is the exhaust. From what I read, an x pipe and secondary delete would give me a nice growl at WOT and not much more than stock sound for cruising and idle. I do not want ANY drone. My 335 exhaust had drone and I hated it.
I will put up a few more pics when the weather breaks here. Been really crappy out lately.

Wives are invited. Mine will be at dinner Sat. night. There is a huge shoping mall, Polaris, that she can get lost in while we talk cars.

Welcome! She looks great! For your exhaust sounding needs (and the best performance mod you can do to these cars) get some headers. It will sound 1000 times better and plant your *** proper
