Newb E55 owner in Texas w/ pic
Hello to all.
I've been lurking and posting on here for a few months. I just bought a stock 2003 E55 w/ 57k miles in great condition (warranty included) with no options (pano, nav, keyless go, etc.). I love it.
I like the look of stock cars but may modify it some over time. I am new to MB ownership and have only owned performance domestic cars in the past.
I know there is a lot of good information on here and also a lot of smart a$$es that give their biased opinion but I'm looking forward to it NTL. I have included a pic of my new car below; did these come with different wheel options or are these wheels from a different model?

I think that you might have the first generation of E55 wheels, as the other wheel came out later. But you have many options now

Appearance mods:
-flat hood badge (ordered)
-Not sure on the black grille but I may want to black the side and rear badges.
-replace or trade wheels for something sleek but not too ghetto
Performance mods:
- I'm looking for twin K&N air filters
- Possbile resonator/rear cat delete
- Possible 168/172pulley + tune in the future
I'm not sure on the custom air box or expensive headers. Thoughts and comments are always welcome. I have searched the other threads and done a lot of reading on these but I'm by no means an expert.
