Picked up my E55 wagon!

I have been wanting one ever since they were announced. I've had several really fantastic cars in my driving life (Alfa Romeo, S4s, WRX/STI, various M cars, several 911s) but this one is the coolest, rarest thing I've EVER owned. Since I bought it just before Thanksgiving I haven't had a chance to detail it nor photo it but here is a shot picking it up. It hauls the family and of course hauls a$$!!

I'm not sure what options it does have but I know it doesn't have the rear thrid row and keyless go. It does have the K40 Calibre radar system. This is going to be my daily and the 911 is for the trackdays and date night. Only thing I plan to do is Eurocharged stage 1 and MAYBE try to retrofit rear jump seats. I haven't found a good resource for aftermarket options other than Kleeman/Renntech/Eurocharged/Evosport. Any others?

Cheers.

Thanks. I think it's Platinum Blue Metallic. I think I'll have a few hours to detail the car tomorrow so I'll post better shots later.

Great choice. The E55 Wagon is the best. I got my 05 in 05 and plan on holding mine for a very, very long time.

Car free at the moment

Look Flint Grey to me too. Post the VIN and we can give you the colors and options codes.

The 3rd row seat is a mixed bag on these cars because adding the 3rd seat means losing the spare tire.

Are you in Texas?

I would think 3 row is a major option in a wagon. It would be like buying a Escalade with no 3rd row. Beautiful car either way and it is deffinetly not platinum blue.

Thanks to all!

Retrofitting is becoming a fleeting thought because it requires a lot. Plus as some of you commented I lose the spare. It's not a full size one but it's a spare.
