Thinking of selling my E55....
Ok, I actually listed my car for sale...
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/2853288123.html
Reason for selling it - its causing too much tension between a good friend and I.
Opinions? Price too low or too high?

1. E55 keeps blowing doors off friend's M5 and its getting awkward.
2. Too many "rides" for friend's girlfriend in E55 backseat?
3. Friend drives a Vette and has clear erectile & automotive envy?

Causing tension with a 'friend'? WTF kind of friend is this? It's obviously up to you, but anyone who gives you crap because of your car doesn't sound like a friend to me.
Plus your asking price seems quite high for the mileage.

I do not know what peoples problems are with mileage....
Had a compression test done recently, and all were above 160 psi.... The transmission was rebuilt and "beefed up" at 100k. Had an LSD from a P030 car installed.

Is it the particular E55 or E55's in general? We'd like to see you back in one. Some of your mods and DIY were unique and valuable to the community.

At the request of some people, here is most of what is done to my car (there have been other mods done since posting this):
Well, I cannot really make a build thread, as I didn't really take pictures of everything as I was doing it... 
But I want to share/show some pictures of the different things that been done. Plus, make a list the mods that are done (I get a few PMs daily asking about my mods).
Anyway - The Car... Its an 03 E55 - Tektite over black/antharcite...
Factory options - keyless go, pano, trunk assisted closer, active ventilated seats, rear sunshade.
Retrofitted OEM options - Comand w/ Nav, iPod, Sat Radio, LSD, 05+ Center console with rolltop, CLS keyless go knob, S550 antenna, 07+ trunk panel, 07+ tail lights, R170 sport pedals. Plus many of version coding changes.
Aftermarket Mods - Suvneer CF lip, CF trunk lip spoiler, C63 touring diffuser, CF inserts in the headlights, alcantara steering wheel, custom OEM grille, lowered on links/SDS, suede dash, suede door card tops, center console box sides wrapped in suede, Brabus door pins, all wood painted Tektite (body color), resonator replaced with X-Pipe, aznoptics city lights, lime green fog-lights that match my brakes, OEM wheels repainted with silver containing metallic flake, MB arts rear toe links, MB arts rear camber adjustment, MB arts front *top secret parts*, and some other junk im forgetting.
Planned future mods - Wheels (arriving this week!), CLS 2 place rear seats, alcantara/suede front seat inserts, coilovers, and some power mods.
Anyways - pics:
As she sits today:
Fog lights:
Dash wrapped, comand, painted wood, shift knob, steering wheel:
Console box (sides wrapped):
Door tops with Brabus door pins:
Another interior shot:
Grille without center line:

Didn't realize you had all the options. I'd say your price is about right considering options.
But seriously, tell your BMW buddy to get over themselves. Shouldn't you be choosing the car that makes you happy, not them? Just sounds like an F'ed up situation that noone should be put in to or allow them selves to be put into.
Either way, it would suck for you to leave the E55.

Sad to see it go my friend.
Best of luck with the sale!
If you don't mind me askin...in what way did you beef up the tranny? Did you rebuild it because it was takin a crap or you just wanted to do it for the extra power?
