E55 Parked in Houston tonight - Sherlocks on Westheimer

Hello Folks,

I am in Houston on Business this evening and I went to Sherlocks Pub for a quick drink. Parked outside was an E55... it had special 5.5 badges on the side, in black.

Who's the lucky owner? It looks very nice. Also it has a chin spoiler addition in front.

I will look for you next time I am in town...

JM

Color?

OK, my color vision isn't the greatest, but I would say it was Gray, with what appeared to be the stock AMG twin spoke wheels.

Also, in addition to the custom 5.5 black side fender badges where "kompressor" would be, the rear badging was also blacked-out... not chrome like the factory.

I wish that I could have stayed at the bar there, but I had a late client call to make from the hotel.

Haha I think I just saw this car headed north on Voss. It's been raining E55s in Houston lately. I saw a very interesting CLS55 from Florida in midtown last night. Had a aftermarket rear bumper/diffuser where the exhaust came out the center of the diffuser, similar to a murcie. It was quite unique. I haven't seen anything like it on a benz. Trying to find a pic on the interweb.
