Built B16 on boost, but I serious respect the AMG....power to weight ratio:goodjob:

Nice! I raced an LS Integra with a 16g(what I was told). He held right with me, even though I started at 5k rpm in 1st lol. Thanks, they truly are a amazing cars and I'm blessed to own one.:)

Great looking ride man. Nice to see another AMG on these boards.

I say leave the wheels as is, but at the same time it would look good either way.

I had a chance to drive one of these when I worked at Alex Automotive. Effortlessly quick, I loved it. Nice buy.

Yeah, I've been on the fence. I originally decided on leaving them brushed, or I would have gotten them refinished before they were shipped to me. I hate decisions like these...:no:

My dad always tell me when I'm in a tough decision "It doesn't matter what you choose cause you will wish you did the other". Hahaha so true. When I have decided between colors in any of my cars I wish I would have got the other one.

That is true. Smart, pessimistic, but very, very true.:lmfao:

Why were you considering a RS4 or a 335i? Sure they're fast but they're not even on the same page as this IMO. This is a lot more car. More luxury, and it's still fast.

This is an awesome car. My gf's brother in law, who happens to be a friend of mine, has one and I drive that shit all the time. I love how the seats adjust to your body when you turn. That shit is pimp.

I see a murdered out around town here, and I have to say, it is pretty sweet. Whatever you do with this car, don't do it cheap. It's not a honda.

I was considering the RS4 and 335i because they are entirely different cars from each other and the E55. They were both manual, but the RS4 is awd, sexy as hell, and the interior was done by the Gods. The 335i was cheap and easy to make fast. The E55 however is an automatic, and isn't cheap to make fast, just easy. Don't worry, I've never cheap out on any car I've modded, so I'm not starting with this one. Thanks for the compliments.:cheers:

E55 is def one of the cars on my list to be my next car. Great combination of luxury and hp, and class.

QFMFT. I'm surprised nobody has said to do the most unoriginal thing and just black the entire car out. Polished wheels is where the class is, not matte black. The whole matte/flat color scene will look so dated in a year but polished is timeless.

And put the hood emblem back on, without it your car looks the same as all of the other Hyundais driving down the road that ripped off the Benz grill/headlights. :goodjob:

Just because someone suggests something, doesn't mean I'm going to do it. The hood ornament is back on the car, but the flat one is going back on. Also, the wheels are being color matched with a gloss black lip. I personally HATE the polished look. If anything, I prefer the brushed with the polished lip. If this wasn't an E55 and was an E500 or E350, the brushed would suit the car better. The E55 is a beast, therefore I want it to look sinister. No one has changed my opinion as of now.:goodjob:

Oh, just to clarify, I meant a whole entire polished wheel. I know they're kinda rare in these days of red wheels w/ polished lips, black wheel w/polished lips, and Honda fat-fives with sanded/polished lips.

But look at Benz's from the 50s and what were they rockin? Polished wheels. Look at the hottest Benzs on the scene and what are they rockin? Polished wheels.

It purely subjective. One man's trash is another man's treasure. What I mean to say is I think polished wheels look like dog shit on present cars.:goodjob:

*UPDATE*

I ended up trying to bring the Benz out in the shitty weather and got stuck twice. Once in the DMV parking lot, and once in my driveway. I had the car towed from my driveway due to the fact I overheated the brakes trying to get out of the snow, not to mention the battery failure indicator message came across the gauge cluster. Upon further inspection, MB told me that the only thing wrong with the car is the alternator:thinking:. Hey, at least that's under warranty, unlike the brakes.:no:

4:47AM on Christmas Day -sounds like you're having a bad day...

Overheated the brakes? Sounds like T/C was trying to kick in?

I was actually talking to a friend in Iraq, but I ended up sleeping in today.

Yeah, the brakes were grabbing while the tires were spinning. I thought I was going to need to turn the rotors and replace the pads, at the least. I might have prematurely worn the brakes, but they are okay, for now.

Well if you dont have any shuddering issues you should be ok. I highly doubt you did any damage because the wheels were just spinning and there was hardly any load to do damage to the brakes?

Why would you take out a 500ft-lb tq RWD car in the snow? Thats what we want to know lol

If the car senses lateral movement, the brakes act like T/C, regardless if it's on or not. I could definitely smell tire and brakes lol. I had it towed out and directly to the dealership to assess the situation, instead of trying to drive it to see if it was broken or not. Also, the roads were cleared, I just accidentally veered off of my driveway while back up. Just enough to get stuck in the snow drift lol. I get it back on Monday, but I won't even be in town lol. at least I got to drive it for a few hours.
