"Call a dealer they will not know the color!" Right, because only one 95 year old man ordered GOLD!

i love this part!

" ... is a crazy beast with a temper to destroy everything on the road. I can honestly say this is one of the fastest Mercedes in the country. It will pull a 10 second quarter mile time, and 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. The only cars that can touch it are maybe 2 other E55’s in California."

i guess the 2 fastest E55's that are on the east coast dont count in his mind lol

More like 650 hp but still not bad for 25k

Let's say he's at 540-550 whp so add about 18-20% drive loss

This place is a joke.
That color code is "693 Travertine Beige" AKA "desert silver" as we know it here.... It's not a designo color, and the car doesn't have designo interior.

Here is a real designo E55:

Yes, "desert silver" is the gold color, it was very popular on the 210 chassis. Pewter, more of the neutral/brown tone is called "cubanite silver" by MB Germany but known here as "Pewter Silver" ...Leave it to MB to make things confusing with multiple names for the same color

My car is "teallite blue" from the factory but known here as "platinum blue"

I wanted a pewter E55, but mine came along for a deal. Didn't like the color at first but it's grown on me and I love it now. Changes colors from blue, to blue-silver,to grey depending on the light.

Never seen a desert silver E55 in person.

NO, I'm not an MB numbers nerd I'm just looking up and learning all these things as I post Lots of info on the EPC with a VIN#

I love how he insists there's never been a Trans failure on an E55. Idiot. Then he states "only two E55s I know of have failures due, to bad tuning" and blames one on eurocharged. again, idiot.
