Ditto the above.

Lovely looking car, I bet it sounds biggrin too!!

Are they the standard wheels, very SLR'esque.

That is just lovely. Looks brand spanking new?
If only I had the balls to go and buy something like that (well, and the cash!)

always had a bit of a soft spot for these gen E55's, the best looking IMO, subtle yet menacing, the ideal hyper barge recipe!

V nice -like the panoramic roof - quite rare- and odd that at time only available on E class and not S class -iirc.
Do prefer standard wheels though

What you now need to do is speak to DMS and get the stage one conversion...This will give you a little extra 40bhp and approx 90/100 lb foot torque.....also removes the limiter....Mine was chiming in at a GPS registered 146mph coming back from the ring...One last thing get the cats gutted and then listen to it growl...My limiter has been removed :-)

with the limiter removed its supposed to be good for 195 mph ive seen it upto 182 but came across a german lorry that decided it didnt want to move...its not so noticebale in the lower range but what it has done is extend the rev range....so far so good...Havent had it on the rollers yet so not quite sure what the final figures will be.....But its def quicker

Ah, a youtube vid for you sir. Wheels are love/hate. Engine is simply breathtaking. Some say better than the 6.3 n/a one that superceeded it.
