Few Photos Of My New E55
Hello,
I purchased my first ever Mercedes about month ago. 2005 E55. It has 49.5K miles. It is 100% stock except 3M clear bra. It has dynamic seats, keyless go, rear shade etc. I wish it had Bluetooth but it wasn't prewired for it. I love the car. I drive 60 miles a day and this car is a pleasure to drive on the highway or country roads. I average about 20 miles per gallon. I really like the acceleration when needed. As of now I don't have any plans to modify it except the 19" BBS CH-R wheels that I will put on next spring.
Thanks to this forum I was able to fix couple of issues. Replaced the driver door keyless go handle. Fixed the navigation spliter inside the trunk which had corrosion. No satelites were showing. It showed that my car was in middle of lake Erie. It works perfect now after good contacts cleaning. Upgraded COMAND software. Installed winter wheels and tires from Tirerack. Wheels are Rial and tires are Pirelli Sotozero. Had the dealer change oil and I replaced the air filters and cabin filter. I will need new brake pads next spring. I hope to keep this car for a long time.

Congrats on the new car......you will love it!
I will be putting up my BBS LMs for sale soon. They would look great on black.
BTW, tell Mercedes of Bedford to remove that ugly front plate.

Nice! Now throw some K&Ns in there. Better gas millage AND more power. Washable too. Win Win Win. Or as one would say, WINNING!
Edit: You should black out the side makers, orange and black don't mix unless your in a Porsche

Those are beautiful wheels. So Mercedes cap is same diameter as BBS cap or did you order special cap?
