In the area I live and work, there are roughly four or five W211 E55s that I've seen. Having said that; while owning one I'm always on the lookout for others and spot one from time to time. Today, while on an errand for work, I see what appears to be a chrome-wrapped w211 of some sort sitting in a parking lot nearby, and upon closer inspection.....low and behold - it is definitely an E55.
I don't even pretend to begin knowing or understanding the circumstances which would cause someone to use chrome paint on a car like this......let alone, not mask off the windows or seals properly. However, there is a part of me that thinks this car has been through quite a lot and instead of being junked, someone has obviously made it their own (to their own taste) and has probably become someone's daily driver. Props for that.....
This could've been purchased this way so I don't pretend to know the circumstances. This just left me a little sad seeing it in this condition.
