Hey guys, new to the forum. I am on some of the other ones so some of you may recognise me.

I bought a W211 E55 a month ago to replace my ageing BMW E39 M5. I haven't looked back since buying the E55, though there are a few things I do miss from the M5, but these are minor.

Hoping to have my car for a few years and then look to change, possibly into a W212 E63 BiTurbo.

Cheers!

Hahaha, the E39 was a proper car tbh, a better drivers car and a better looking car, but the E55 is so much faster and for wafting around it is much better as well. It is weird though as everytime I drive it, it feels like a big car, where as the M5 felt a lot smaller.

Yup, that's what you do in a Merc, just waft. A Merc has a better image IMO. :rolleyes:

I think image is debatable. I don't care for such things.
