Handling
Ok, so I keep reading from numerous sources that the E55 does not have good handling. But these people that say that are trying to push the car to it's limits. I would guess that within it's limits that this car handles very well, seeing that it's 1). a Mercedes, 2). a Mercedes AMG car, 3). costs upwards of $80,000. Would I be guessing wrong? I mean I may race a few cars at a red light, I may do 100 mph on the way to NYC, I may go a little faster than the speed limit on some back roads, but I'm not going to be heading to the track, so handling wise, I would guess that I won't have any problems with handling, right!?!
Oh yeah one more thing, I rented an E500 on a vacation and I thought that the car handled very well. So if I was happy with the way that the E500 handled, will I be happy with the way the E55 handles?

For the average driver that just pushes the car a tad, the stock suspension should be fine.
