Talking Picking up my new E55 tommrow!

Ended up getting an 06' pre-owned with only 8000 miles. Let the mods begin! I traded in my Cayenne S for it. The car didnt come with Xenons or Navi but it was a good deal even if I add them. I'll post pics tommrow. Its Black/Black and I already ordered a flush mount hood emblem and Illuminated door sills. I think 20's are next

Should be sweet... but it is amazing that the E55 doesn't even come w/Xenons... wow.

Which 20s are you going to put on it? I am particular to Brabus.

I love those last Brabus wheels - get a gloss black vs. flat black. That is a screaming deal you got. I am assuming you have the remainder of the warranty, too?

You should put Brabus in black...they are perfect for it!
Congrats on the purchase

Congrats! E55s are sick sedans, and not too bad on the track either. Try Kleeman K2 for your next mod.
BTW, my dealer just had a brand new 06 for 74k. It was a one day special during their yearly evening party. Car had a MSRP of 84k

You're going to love it. I have an '04 E55. Didn't truely apprciate it until I got my 911. I love my new baby, but torque of the E55 engine is UNBELIEVABLE! I haven't driven a 63 yet, but I can't imagine that it's going to be as "strong" as the E55. Get ready to spin tires WITH the traction control on (brakes will kick in, kinda sucks but cool at first). I drove mine on the small track at Willow Springs, pushes like a piggy unless you have the right tires.
