New Member Introduction

Just wanted to take a quick second to introduce myself and post a few pictures of the car I bought Saturday.





I've been looking for an E55 for sometime now, and with the knowledge from the people on here I expect to have a good time driving/maintaining this vehicle.

Also hoping to meet some local enthusiasts in the NoVA / DC area.

Thanks everyone,

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know. When I get home Friday, I'll post a picture of the wheels. They are gunmetal/silver in color, it's hard to tell in either shot.

It was a trade in from someone who picked up a white E63 locally.

Congrats, and good luck with her!

(shameless plug) I have a brand new set of those wheels in my garage right now. The gunmetal inlay clashed with my blue/grey paint on my car so I never mounted them. Pm if interested.

It might have more: push start, Nav, sunroof (not pano), and Bi-xenon. I'm still searching around to figure out how I can tell what packages it came with, but I'm thinking asking another MB dealer to run the vin would work.

It was 80k miles, not to high and I thought the price was fair.

This is so refreshing to have someone jump on here and say here's my car I just it! As opposed to help me, help me, help me from some of the new turdsters.

Sweet looking ride and love those wheels. Any mods you know of on the car?

Send London my regards and see if you can get some of my money back from the hoes in SOHO.

Thanks for the reply, no known mods but as suggested I plan to check out the pulley. I'm not saying I won't be asking for help, but I know where the search function is also.

I'm over this side of the lake about twice a month and stay in Mayfair, Soho is a ton of fun. Can you spend the queen in TX?

Welcome to the board. Nice car.
Just a warning though....You stay on this board for over 30 days, take a pic of your car now and then in 30 days !!! You will catch the mod bug pretty fast.
Enjoy the ride.
