It’s a corner marker for the driver to gauge where the corner of the car is. I’m not so sure about it so will likely remove it soon.

It's a flagpole, Jim. See my links above.

EDIT: If it has a part number on it, please share it. We'll look it up.

I've seen these on several Japanese luxury cars. I think it's a VIP flex.

Here's a thread on them on BenzWorld: https://www.benzworld.org/threads/w1...flags.1432302/

Fair enough. I just thought it was a corner marker because there is nowhere to affix a flag. I stand (or indeed, sit) corrected. 🙂

SLR motor in an E55, I love it, man!

--------
Here's my 2006 E55 (before the EuroTek 4-fin diffuser installed) - next to his younger brother (USDM MKIV 94 Turbo 6spd) after returning home from her single 65mm turbo conversion surgery a few years ago... still one of my personal favorite shots of my gems.
