My Bro-in-law has an E55 and tried to talk me into one before we got our GS. It sounds kind of stupid, but all he can manage is 19mpg on the highway, while I can hit 25 at constant 80mph and 26 if I back off just a touch. The E55 does set you back in the seat for sure, but the E63 is just downright wicked...

There's a lot of thought in why we went back with a Lexus though....

<sigh> So many cars.... so little time....
I agree, I am 100% a red caliper guy, this is way unusual for me and I really love it better than I thought I would. Yes I have and I love the E55/63.

Thanks! I like the film, I think I'm going to add another cover to make it more yellow with the 3000k HIDs. Tints, yeah I need to get it EVERYONE say so but I like people seeing how happy I am

Ever notice how the panels on the Lex are so much smoother and seamless then other cars? Looks like one uniform piece of metal. I like that about our cars.
Thanks

Yeah mahn! I love your car too and red fits better for most people.
