Default Finally got a supercharger...
The OEM TRD Supercharger is too hard to find, so I bought this one...

2005 E55 AMG

(sorry for the bad cell phone pic)

Hope you got the extended warranty! LOL. One of the greats though. The new e63 is badass as well.

But the E63 is NOT supercharged!

Nice buy! I love the E55. Wait til you put some mods like smaller pulley, chip or headers! Car will become street-legal monster

Nice ride! Pulls like a frieght train I bet. Can't quite make out the rims, but they don't look stock.

I have been looking at them (e55/e63) as well. My lease on my IS up next year.

.

The wheels are 20" Monarch Euro 63's...they fit the car well and look like the new E63 AMG wheels.

Thanks! I actually just got laid off after 8 years with Philips

I have had a company car for the past 10 years and "had" to buy a car

You would be very suprised how inexpensive these cars are right now...it had a sticker of $92,000 just 4 years ago, and now theey are dirt cheap.

For me I could have had a Honda Accord or this...

Nice AMG, that engine is a beast. I had a run in with one of those on the highway with my GS350. He was about a car length ahead at about 95 MPH and then he just took off after that. The pull on that engine in high speed is unbeliveable.

You can probably pick up a reasonable mileage AMG for $30K or so. Not too bad. Congrats on the fine purchase!
