Never heard of the Presidential Edition?

I believe the paint is custom or Mars Red. The Presidential is not much different than the regular E55 except for its CF interior work.

I know I have never heard of this in my life. Check out the listing on E-Bay. It says " Presidential Edition ".

The red is way too flashy for this car. It just doesn't seem right. I personally don't like it.

Was talking to a guy at my Dealer the other day about this Edition. I had never heard of it. He thought it was only a 2004 model.
Basically, you got "Presidential" badges on the inside and out plus the Carbon Fiber trim and the wheel upgrade. With an upcharge of 10K, he said the one they had sat around forever.

The Presidential Edition is like a Desigo option. It was marked as 072 - Presidential Edition and was a $10,500 option.

It gives you special exterior paint, exclusive interior leather and in this case, Carbon Fiber trimmings instead of Black Birdseye Maple.

Agree the red is nice for a vette but not a Benz. Love the Carbon fiber dash though I wish we could get that!!!

Red & Benz do not mix IMO. This is not to flame any red Benz owners, just my opinion.

While I've heard of the E55 "Presidential Edition", I've never seen any interior or exterior badges on cars claimed to have that option, including the one in the eBay picture. Personally, I prefer the black birdseye maple to the CF. Too many cars have a CF option, I prefer the oem BBM.

Personally I don't like the red on an e55 and statistics show that brightly colored cars are pulled over more often for speeding.
