An Introduction

Had my E55 for about a year now, wasn't going to mod it but we all know how that works. Since its finally somewhat worthy to post, here are some pictures (freshly washed, so ignore the ugly rotors):







And some of my previous cars:

Great looking E55 with the designo. Feeling the S4 too, the B7 is the best A4 body style, imo

Congrats on the super nice car, I think if that was up in the tri-city and has like 42K miles, I almost bought that one - looks super nice! I went with an 06 flint grey instead.

But that would of been my second choice for sure.

Maybe if your in Portland sometime - we can hook up.

I have had mine for just over a year and the mod bug is starting to hit me too.

Yep pretty sure its the same one you were looking at. It was local here in the Tri-Cities and right around 40k miles.

If I ever make it to Portland then I'd be up for a little get together.

Thanks. Your car and the Vossen video of it inspired me to get the Vossen wheels. Just couldn't get over how simple and good they looked.

Already looking for things to put under the hood, mainly some CF bits and maybe a shiny pulley.

Look'n good, its a nice combination. Looks like you lowered it also.
Like your old rides too, we have a s4 in the stable (2000, with some under the hood mods) the s4 will be reading the AMG badge (on the trunk) in about two more weeks.

Yep lowered with one of the ELM V2s.

Before I bought the E55 I was driving a B5 S4. It was completely stock though so not too impressive. The E55 felt massively bigger coming from the B5 S4.
