Project Car PICS

So I recently picked up this 2005 E55 with 28K. It is Obsidian Black. I have completed my exterior mods.......I think!

20x9.5 DPE SP-10s with Hankook V12 245/25 20 Flat black with gloss lip
(Thanks James and Derrick D2)


Lowering ELM settings 1.2 rear and 1.6 front. Mounted in center armrest.
(Thanks to me!)


Tinted windows 20%

E63 rear spoiler

Clear corner lights


DCT flat bottom steering wheell *****BEST MOD*******
(Thanks Ivan at DCT Motorsports)

Black Lugs (ON THE WAY)
(Thanks Craig RPM)


Car still has a warranty so I have done nothing to the engine.

You always have the cleanest cars. Once again, you've knocked it out of the park. Can't wait to do 160 in it, at Timmayfest in June.

Meh, who am I kidding...no way this car stays until June.

Looks great, Marcus.

No, they do. That's weird. But mine due tend to fall off sometimes. Maybe the previous owner didn't like that or the ricer appearance.

the 05's that were manufactured at the end of 04 didn't come with the pedals or the updated center console (they keep the "clam shell" center console which is how you can tell)....the metal pedals are an OEM part that cost about 30.00's for the set. . .easy remedy

And believe me when I say this - he's just getting started. . .and when he's finished, he'll sell it, buy another German high performance care, realize his mistake, find another mint 55 platform. . .and do it all over again

I already nominated his wife for sainthood with the Catholic Church but they want to see a documented miracle. They said - him keeping a car for more that 60 days would qualify

Those wheels are awesome along with the wheel.
Any plans with the grille?
