E55 Picture Thread
#1052
[QUOTE=mikey33;3956735]aw21, love the clean looking wagon and the 65 wheels! Planning any mods?
Wheels and Star lowering is all that's planned for now. Also added the thicker sport MP steering wheel which is a MUST!
Considering tune and exhaust down the road.... what's the simplest way for a slightly meaner sound? xpipe?
Had a hard time w/ a wheel choice. Was close to going aftermarket w/ either 20" BBS LM's or HRE's but just decided to go simple/clean/factory w/ the 65's. Satisified for now...

Wife's E63 with CF front spoiler lip and 20" wheels
Finally got the wife's car mostly done, tinted windows, CF front spoiler lip, and 20" replica AMG wheels. I usually don't go replica, but these are cheap and surprisingly good quality. Wife wouldn't do anything non-AMG style so... had to go with this. Wasn't about to blow 6k on a set of real 2010 E63 wheels which these are replicas of. Not bad for the price. Already eyeing new wheels from ADV... if only I can convince the wife to go non-AMG...
CF spoiler from vendor in Taiwan bought on Ebay, good buy too. It's not solid CF, had to use 15 bolts to get it to fit tight but heck, for less than $300, I could use 30 bolts.
The ride in the 20's are rougher than the stock 18's. but damn, looks so much bigger.... even looks lowered but the car is not, just the wheels and tires are bigger and the wheel well is well... gone! no rubbing though. 8.5" front, 9.5" rears. Will tint the tailights next.
eyeing these new wheels though... very cool!

Hey guys, stupid question, how do you post picture in the large size that's directly viewable in the post as opposed to attaching the photos and getting the little thumbnails? Thanks!

thank you looks fantastic. when i get my e55 i plan to wrap the interior wood trim in carbon fiber vinyl and maybe a gloss coat over. was the removal process easy?
was it a lot of work to paint all the trim?
