Just curious: average age of w211 E55/E63 owners...

Hey guys, I just had my birthday on the 29th of May and turned a whopping 27. I am interested in getting together soon with hopefully a nice group of you possibly at the National Harbor towards the end of this month (June). I typically spend my down time with older individuals and act as a sponge soaking up all the info/wisdom I can.

I have owned 300zx tt, epi stage 2 gti vr6, stage 3 B5 S4, 04' CL55, and for the last 1+ years a 05 E55

As I said, just curious as to the average age of owners to these w211 beasts!

About to turn 25.
You've owned some nice cars, I've also owned a couple boosted Audis and came this close to a b5s4 which I wanted to go stg3 on but the reliability issue always threw me off. The FI motor was certainly more appealing than the ones that came after, I'm sure you know what I mean.
How do you like your E compared to the CL?

Your thoughts on the B5 ate dead on, SO temperamental! I would compare the issues to the 335i... Constant boost leaks and just never consistent. The CL55 was my first for a few things. First Mercedes, first V8, and first experience with a supercharger as I had always prefered turbo(s). The CL was a tank! Way to big/heavy for a two door in my opinion... But that's what you get when a SL and S class are left in a room for too long l

Looks like a pretty tight age group so far.

I think most of the E55 owners on this forum - are more interested in mods, swapping info and stories - thus, this could explain the younger ages.

I have 2 friends that dont go on the forum -- they are +35

Well I was in my thirties when I bought mine long time ago. Lets just leave it at that.

Obviously with the affordability the age is skewing younger now days.

Great guys still so long as it doesn't turn thuggish and I gotta switch my name to J-Money....I'm cool.
