So you replaced the S4 with the E55. Definately a step up but I just have never been a big fan of the Benzes. Any qualms about the winter driving in Denver with RWD? I recently moved here from FL and am looking to purchase a newer car soon and RWD is all but off the list. I'd be interested in hearing your opinions on the subject.

Also I love the fall colors around here. Great pic.

The E55 looks great. The picture looks great especially with the background colors.

Interested in some 20" DPEs?

I used to drive my 323Ci with 19" with summer performance tires in winter!

Actually I also have an 08 Subaru Legacy as my daily.
But I'll put some perf winter tires on the E55 also, it should be fine if the snows are not too bad

If you have really good winter tires, any RWD should be ok.

Yeah, high gloss black painted grille, flat MB hood emblem, euro impact strips (no orange reflectors).
I painted my taillights too

Your car is ready?

I'm doing a photoshoot for a 996 GT3 tomorrow.

The black grill and flat hood emblem look great.

How are you liking the car so far?

I just put winter tires on mine. I went for Dunlop M3's in 245/40-18 all around. I'm hoping the heft of the E55 will make it driveable on winter performance tires. I had Blizzak LM-25's on my S2000, and moving from a dead stop on any icy incline was still a challenge.
