I'm assuming you drove the W211 E55 with the supercharger. I've owned mine for almost four years and it's extremely comfortable and reliable. The reason I kept the E55 and did not get the M5 was the torque. And the reason I'm keeping it over getting the E63 is the torque. Like all MB, they depreciate like a rock and you can pick one up cheap.

You have one of the sweetest garages of cars I know of!

That garage is incredible! Not to hijack, but your garage and cars reminded me of this old poster. I must be getting old because I was surprised to see a newer version available. I was also surprised they ditched the Vette for the Viper.

I think an E39 M5 would be too old for what crosvs is looking for, think he wants something under warranty.

Many thanks for the complements. 2 out of 5 in the last poster isn't bad. I remember growing up, my uncle had the first poster hanging in his office. That was inspiring to me as a kid.

The wheels on the E55 pictured are sweet. I wonder who makes them and what size are they?

They're 20" MRR GT1s. I was concerned that they would be a horrible ride. To my surprise, they were not much different from stock. You just have to be very careful with potholes, and make sure the tires are always properly inflated.
