Tectite E55 in Vancouver
i seen today a Tectite E55 in Vancouver/ robson street. It was lowered, with aftermarket wheels (drove by so didn't really get to notice exactly which they were) dual fog lamps in the front, i think exhaust tips as well could be whole exhaust system but i noticed the tips, and debadged, with american plates

it could of been even a flint grey one that was parked on robson street..
I've seen a few, i don't know which years tho.. prolly 03 or perhaps a few 04, mine was an early 04 oct./04 to be exact.. bought it at NorthShore MB
next time, if u see one with a plate [883***] it'd be mine, or see a all around shaved head asian, prolly me too.

E55's are becoming a daily sight now but I encounter the same ones very regularly. My father has a black 04 E55 and I occasionally get to drive it, if you see one with a plate that starts with 52* ***, a friendly wave will be welcomed!

My wife's cousin and I got the first 2 E55 in vancouver in 2003. It was sweet, but as one board member say, its almost a daily occurrence now to see one. Despite that, its a great car. I saw about 1 to 2 a while back and the owner did some evil **** to their car-gangbanger's style 20" chrome wheels etc and IMHO its just fu_k upi the car. I got a CLS55 now, according to my dealer, its the first one in Vancouver. So far, I have not seen any, but I am sure it will be flooded as well by summer. Mines Obsidian black.
Another note, I see that all the 55's owner are friendly and enthusiastic on the board here, but why is it that when I see another E55 on the road in Vancouver, they all act very snotty and act as if they don't even see another fellow 55-er??
