Thanks fellas I'm still debating whether to go e63 front on mine. I know many think the 55 front end is dated but with the cf lip it just has such an elegant yet aggressive look to it.

E55 Picture Thread-e55dside1.jpgE55 Picture Thread-e55dsidenice.jpgE55 Picture Thread-e55dfrontanglesmall.jpgWell Well since I have been lurking on this great site for some time prior to even selling my Z06, and now that I recently bought my 06 55, I thought I would post some pics! (Android camera...so be gentle)

I also recently bought MaxH SL65 Wheels and put them on...and I repainted all the rotors at the same time. What you guys think?

Also...Car is at the highest setting (raised to get into my driveway...I forgot to lower it lol)

Lastly...thought I would just post up my Z06 I just sold...a few regrets I suppose (probably need another!)E55 Picture Thread-10-z06passsengeruphighshot.jpg...but I DO LOVE my E55...and ESPECIALLY the extra room for people...this is weird for me, as this is literally my first 4 door Supercar...and yes, the E55 is definetly a 4-door Supercar!

Love from an Indonesian

I'll share what I've done to my 2004 E55.

It's stock Black on Black, I'm sure you all know how it looks like.

The only upgrade for now is Brabus EV12 Carbon-Ceramic brakes, which force me to ditch the stock 18" AMG wheels (It doesn't fit!) and I can only fit 19" and above.

So, I decided to put on 20" AMG wheels designed for CLS (I believe so) and Falken FK452s. 235/40/20 in Front and 275/35/20 at the back.

Going to install Weistec Supercharger as soon as they release it, and ship it ASAP to Jakarta

Carbon Ceramic Brakes? Or just Ceramic Discs? They look like normal two piece discs with ceramic coating and GIANT calpers. Carbon discs are charcoal in color and do not rust.

I also thought of the same thing, but Brabus claimed it's Carbon-ceramic brakes. I got it for free FYI, it's a prototype installed to my car from a Brabus distributor in Jakarta.

It's gives a really good feel and for hard braking, my cheeks hurt

Anytime you want to get rid of the brakes, let me know. I could care less if they are carbon ceramic.

Unfortunately I'm in love with it

btw I confirmed it's carbon-ceramic. From my understanding, the one that's charcoal in color is carbon-carbon brakes and those do not have braking feel whatsoever. They work only above 800 degrees celcius and only recommended for racing.

Oh, and they don't rust

I've held in my hands carbon ceramic brakes from a ZR1 and they are charcoal in color and looked cracked like a desert floor.
