Don't think that its a presidential. The presidential has a Tectite/Charcoal combo, w/ CF interior trim & didnt have that decklid spoiler. The decklid spoiler is offered by MB original parts... Brabus/Lorinser has nicer ones imo

What does Presidential Editon really mean?What do you get for that extra 10G?

MarcusBenz

It is just like a Designo Pkg., it gives you special exterior paint, exclusive interior leather and in this case, Carbon Fiber trimmings instead of Black Birdseye Maple.

I wonder how much the CF trim is from MB.

Bob718

It would 100x times better if they'd take of those ugly rims.

E55 KEV

So, the spoiler is actually a MB Part? It looks pretty good.

kaneman

Yep, I have one. Took me a while to get used to it but I really like it now. Looks great, somewhat subdued but differentiates the car from every other E on the road (and lately there's a LOT of them!)

E55 KEV

kaneman, do you know the MB part number for the decklid spoiler? Is this considered an AMG part?

nasty wheels

lol, cant get over those wheels huh/

Brav

cheapens the car. Set of 400 dollar (actual cost) cast wheels, and that chrome!

FIXEDupW209

the guy buys a hundred thousand dollar car and puts those nasty wheels on it. Really sad in my opinion. The car its self is really nice. I am not feelin the spoiler that much, it would look a lot nicer without the pieces on the side somewhat like the clk55/c55 spoiler.

E55 KEV

I know that some don't like it but that rim is not cheap if it is what I think it is - Lowenhart BR5:

BR5's are what they are, and no they are not cheap at all. as far as it cheapening the look.... that depends on the personal taste. i think it looks good. i have similar wheels and at first wanted these. and then feel in love with the bs5, same brand and a little more than those. I know that my stock wheels would not be half as much as these were price wise. and those are much more than 400 per wheel. I know everyone taste is different, i just dont care if someone doesnt like mine...

my wheels:

deuce zer0

they look awfully close to those cheap ones the dealer has on his $78k car. lol

sturs6

That is the wheel indeed. I live right up the street from that dealer and have looked at that car several times and if Audi buys back my RS6 I will probably buy it. Oh and yes change the wheels. I am still questioning the Presidential thing though. I have seen the dealership owner driving that car and it does not have many miles on it so who knows. The owner put the wheels on there.
