Other than that, your car looks great...put on the HRE center caps please! The MB center caps make the rims look generic/cheap/ala replica rims.

Sorry I didn't clean the calipers adequately for you, Pocholin, but they were spotless a few days earlier.

Dr. Chill:
Great look with the wheels by the way.
Did you consider doing a 10 inch wheel in the back to put a 275 or 285 tire for more traction? Also you mentioned you lowered your car slightly- what parts or mods did you use to do this?
I should be getting my E55 soon and will want to drop it slightly as well. I test drove a white one yesterday with a whopping sticker over 90k- Incredible ride for sure- when standing still the rear height was good but I wanted the front to sit a little lower if possible.

Hey Vic55 what was your impression of a white E55? I have not seen a white W211 on the streets yet, but I have seen a few white W210's, and they looked great.

Bones, that white was hot IMO. Add some BBS LM's and I would be done. I know silver and black is everyone's first or second choices but white is rare and with a small drop and some 19's the car would standout. Too bad this car had every single option on it and the dealer wouldnt budge on my trade-in value of my M5 or I would have forgone my black ordered unit and took that beast instead.

I hear you on the white, very unique and appealing. Did it have the standard black interior or a two tone color combo? Enjoy your black E55( my first color choice) when it arrives, and post some pics when you drop it a tad.
