Thanks. Believe it or not, it's been parked in my garage all week. I still have another month on my lease of the 535 and I do not want to turn it in with unused miles.
I am not into modifying, but you are right, if I were this thing would be insane.

LOL i had the E55 just closed on the deal for selling it yesterday no doubt that thing is a beast and when modded can almost be untouched to normal cars but the handling is just not great I sold it to get a 550 or M5 I'm leaning towards the 550 for everyday commute compared to the 12mpg the M5 gets lol, for now i have the a4 to keep me happy... all my cars are manual and thats what bothered me as well that the e55 was not manual good luck with the car it will be fun but when you see how that abc system works it will annoy you eventually lol

There are plenty of mild tunes out there.... Kleeman, Brabus and Renntech come to mind. But I hear ya - modifying is tempting but if something goes wrong with these things it gets expensive. Time to switch to MBworld for you .

This is true ! The M5 will also crush a Z06 after a mile in a drag race, oh and also a CTS-V only after a mile . HEY wait those cars almost have the same engine, one has a supercharger . lol

Even though e55 has more power off start the M5 still kills it. So I'd be looking at your rear end for not that long as you'd be lol
