my friends, whatcha think of the last gen e55?.....

as my next car?



i've always loved the way they looked and it looks like i can get a nice one for under $35k...i mean 4dr automatic sedan that can keep up w/nsx's all day long



plus the aftermarket aint 2 shabby either and they seem 2 be built better than the current eclass


opinions, facts, criticisms, haters; lets hear whatcha ya have 2 say

Great vehicle......they drive very nice and are bank vault solid, would make a fine pre owned car.

They look a little dated now but its still a good looking rig.

m5s are nice


but they cost a bit more (used) for some reason and are harder 2 find, plus they ride a bite harsher than the E from what i've been hearing

but hey u never know, ya know?

I wouldnt get a M5...E55 is faster and rides better, but if you want a manny sports sedan that handles very well, M5 would be a nice choice.

Hellz yeah if you could get a used one in good condition i'd definitely pick that up. You'll be riding with speed, comfort and style. Also the last gen hasn't really aged all that much.
