Got it!!!

no, not the flu - I finaly got my baby, a beautiful black E55, and all I can say is wow!! No problems at all thus far, just like my E500. Having fun with the parktronic, the distronic (really cool), the nav system and, up to 3000rpm, the power!!

PS - already changed the bulbs to match the HID, put in the air intake tube from the S55 and it looks like my dealer may install the renntech pulley and chip when the time comes .............

Congratulations and best of luck! Kind of like sex. Fantastic when you first experience it. Never the same afterwards, but always provides a lot of pleasure. LOL

Congrats on the new arrival! Could you give us the part #'s for the bulbs you replaced and the brand you used? I think the standard lights match the Xenon's pretty well but it could be better I suppose from your post. Thanks for any info.

Excellent Prince!

I can't think of a better thing to find under the tree than a much anticipated E55.

Have a great holiday, enjoy your E55, then.... post some Picts and tell us your first impressions of the car.

Mine doesn't arrive till Feb and the wait is killing me. I need my daily E55 fix.

Again Congrats!
