Let The Modding Begin :D
Picked up a 2004 E55 last week from a member here and finally got my first "mod". The car already came with some wheels but def were not my taste so I picked up some 19" E63 Replicas. I think the compliment the car very well.
I have an E63 front bumper and have ordered all the necessary parts for the E63 front conversion and will paint the roof black for the pano look
...I also purchased some lowering links on ebay to give the car a nice stance and those should be here early next week as well.
Can't wait to get this car looking the way I want it to. The car is so comfortable and fast. Its a welcome change to the lowered M3 that I have.
Here are couple pics of the wheels oh and a pic of the M3 before it is sold to my friend next week

She won't handle even close to that murdered monster, but with enough mods, the mountain of torque will make you forget all about it.
Looks great! Love the white!

Thank you very much for the kind words. It means a lot.
Very nice pickup, those wheels look great on the car! I've had a total of 8 sets of wheels on mine and loving it on the e63's. I like where youre going with your ideas, make sure to follow up with pictures of the modding progress. I remember when mine looked like yours (even more stock) and I still thought it was the best.
Now throw a pulley in there, tune and exhaust. I just did an nhra style burnout about an hr ago because I felt like it and need new rears...jaw-dropping power everytime. You must be loving the torque.

I'm hoping my E63 front end parts come in by next week..Can't wait to have the E63 front
I drive mostly in the city so the torque make a huge difference. I will miss the M3 during gorgeous days in the Bay Area but I think I might just pick up an S2000 for that

All the best, defnitely one of the "Fastest" rock solid family sport sedans one can get hold of.
The modifying list will fill up a filling cabinet. You can get an AMG or a highly experienced expert to set up your suspension for a remarkable road-holding experience.
Always make sure that your front and rear batteries are "Strong" this makes the E55K.
Enjoy.

The E63 front will become ur fav mod for sure..I remember tbal got it done a few weeks before me and I was going crazy over his pics haha. But it was also very nice to have him help out with the little stuff that arises during the conversion. Tony, where are you in this thread??
Horsepower is nice, but torque is what you feel. And the city is usually straight, no twisties. I've had a 500whp+ evo with an upgraded suspension so I do miss the gocart into exit but would take the 55 anyday.
Congrats again, enjoy the beauty!

Update:
Still waiting on my E63 Front to be complete but got a few more mods this weekend.
First was the Euro Command..Man I love this thing..watching DVDs in the car was something I missed from my 08 Lexus. It was a DIY job and it took me just over an hour to complete because I had to go to O'Reily to buy a T20 wrench. But the results were well worth that hour
Next up was the 07+ tail lights. Picked it up from a junk yard. Love the new look compared to the smoked tails that I had. DIY again, and it took me about 30-45 minutes. Would have been much quicker but on the passenger side, there is something that look literally like a bomb (I think its the dynamic seat pump), that was in the way of one of the bolts.
Now, I just have to remove the tint from the 3rd brake light now.
Next up, lowering and E63 front

I absolutely ADORE the E90 M3... but I raced one a few months ago and the race was just absurd. It wasn't even fun. The E55 may never turn or maybe even stop like the M3 can....but in a straight line there is just no comparison.
I love my freight train.
