dem beats

it's funny too how it ranked better off road than many of the less street capable SUV's that it went against.

they had a manual GTS for a while too I think... SEXAY!

mmmmmmmMMMMMMmmm\ sexy

I want a beer boot now. I should call in tomorrow and go to the german beer hall in Nord East

<--didn't read enough to realize it was only pre-2005. Does make sense that the Germans would eventually fix it, just definitely not in the first couple years. I want to confirm it. There was some blower seal thingymabobber. It was causing heat and other bad stuff. WHen I last found a list the 1 year cost for 2005 E55s was 30% less than 2004..... From what I understand is benz got new head management in 2003, and they put das boot to anythign unreliable. So 2005+ for all benz have more kinks worked out CLS came out then shortly too.

and a top

WTF

I just made an account at MBworld a while back also. I'm doing as much reading there. Maybe a reliable guy will throw his in the classifieds...

Also for the record I don't give one half crap about the added performance aspect in reality. It's cool but to increase engine life and decrease wear. That would be well worth it.

MN sucks for all things amazing when it comes to cars. Accept porsche. We get crap tons of porsches.

I heard the same about the blower Sean pre 2005. From my digging 2004 and up are more reliable. And again, it's not my preferred option but I want to stay under 40. If I "settle" on an '05 with lower miles ~30 I can send it off to any shop in the nation to help with heat soak (the mail issue the blowers would fail). Heck they even have an intercooler front mount and some spacers that will bring engine temp down ~100 degrees I guess. That could be done for less than 10k.

this is true. I have heard about people turning them into a paperweight. I have only one problem with the blower, and that's that I live in the cooooold MN. Frost/ice inside there cannot be good.

damn 30k differance. I could send it to evo sport for a full work over.

found an e55 with lower miles for 24, and it's in the mid west.

i agree but the 5.5 is a bomb proof engine.

even first year E63s end up being 20k more than the post face lift E55's. =/

Thanks for the info!

Sean you should make an instuctable for it. =) I would make one for my mother in law. She loves the water buys it buy the case from the co op. It's cheep but I would think a pain to haul.

sounds like you have a great day planned KU

MVP for today will be the onion rings from last nights dinner.

that also sounds like interesting work.

Shit it's a day off work and I was up before 645 still. I woke up at 5:30 to get into work an hour early..... Bleh. Overachiever! WHoa... don't go over board turbo. I only did this because I had to car pool. I plan on waiting a while and then taking the Browns to the superbowl on the clock to make up for it.

Sure they aren't known for extreme brilliant minds, but they didn't vote in Franken. They also have guns and BBQ a plenty.

never tried a brine before. Don't you live in TX?? Shit, I read that backwards. I don't know if I should be upset that I got mistaken for a Texan or flattered.

KU when you take samples what are you out looking for?
