Got My Tectite 04 E55 Yesterday

I took it easy on the way back home (6+ hour drive with recently torn right calf). I'm excited about it. Here are some pics from the dealer's ad...

My frame of reference (Infiniti FX45 crossover) might make those comments mute.

Thanks, yes, this would be the car if the Jax caravan comes together. Not yet sure if any other forum member from here is planning to attend.

I do plan to catch up with Rob and the Orlando crew if I go. I had a customer tell me today that he wants me to do an open house on his listing on Sunday though. I may be able to get another associate to run the open house which would allow me to attend the meet.

You can get them in the 60's with higher miles and used 05s in the mid 70's with low mileage. Dealers weren't moving much on asking prices esp. considering the supply in the market and the pending release of the new M5.

Now it needs some nice, shiny forged Savini SV-1's! We are just starting to take inventory and can have the centers custom painted to match the car. These are VERY nice wheels.
