Guys...

Just got my 05 E55 Black/charcoal, Nav, Park, Xenon, Trunk, Adaptive seats, Keyless Go......bella...

What do you think about adding a lip spolier (1 piece)?

I have the 3-piece and have gotten many compliments on it. I don't think you can go wrong with the 1 or 3 lip spoiler. It gives the car a bit more agressiveness (which it needs a little of).

I'd go with the one-piece. It's more subtle. The three piece is just a tad much for my personal taste. It distorts the lines of the car too much.

But any lip is better than no lip.

Check my profile and you can see the same lip as MBAMGPWR on a black E55. I love the look myself. It just sets off the E55 more from the E500 when looking it from the rear and looks good along with the dual exhausts on each side of the car...IMO.

I have the 3 piece and ended up only putting on the middle piece. I agree, I like the 1 piece better than the 3 piece.
