W211 E55
I'm finally a part of the E55 W211 family!

I've been wanting to get in for a few years now. Never really made sense until my car died on me a few weeks back. After a couple weeks of looking I picked up this 2005 fg E55 with only 41k miles from the original owner. A few things don't work (headrest up/down, cig adapter, keyless go ignition) that I need to check out the forum to see if I can DIY fix them. So far I am loving it!

It's bone stock, so looking to do a tune soon, and very interested in the E63 facelift.
