What car did you come from when you got your E55?

Just wondering what some of you had before te E55. I'm looking at selling my AWD Trailblazer SS to get into the E55.

W211 E55, 911 turbo, 911sc, RX330
I had a CLK500 for my comfy night out car. It as great with a quiet, comfortable ride and nice power. The E55 is a bumpier ride with a sweet exhaust growl and gobs of power! It complements my 911 turbo nicely.

'06 E55
I'm transitioning from this to an '06 E55 that I just bought today. I am currently living in Japan and I am moving to the US soon (San Diego, to be specific). Looking forward to making the SoCal connections. Anyhow, this is my '97 Toyota Chaser Tourer V with a 1JZ-GTE. Best $3,000 ever spent. The little white van is also mine. 660cc's of turbocharged fury:

03 E500. Bought the wife the CLS 550 for her birthday. She gave it back to me and took the E500 for a couple of months. Then I bought the E55 and gave the CLS back to her. we still have the E500.

Yep, it's the single turbo. Great little engine that builds torque quickly. It made me realize how far ahead of the game Toyota was before they got misguided as now everyone is going back to turbos. I had a MKIV Supra Turbo (non-VVTi) and this single 1JZ with the VVTi has a better midrange.

I'd like to bring it back with me, but it would be a huge headache and I couldn't register it.

I was daily driving my '95 Porsche Carrera. I really miss this car with it's amazing handling and sound! It went to the previous owner and we have a deal that I get first crack when he's done with it!

I have to say that the E55 is a far superior daily driver though and I love it! Plus, the Porsche covered the purchase price, tax, and travel expense to get the E55!
