A buddy of mine recently informed me that he purchased a W211 E55. I am currently turning multiple shades of green with envy. I now need to make an out of state road trip to go beg for a ride. For those of you not familiar with the beastly E55, here's a cute commercial that very accurately conveys what the car is capable of:

The W211 version, however, has a WHOLE 'nuter beast under the hood, as seen in the ad above! By comparison, my little M119 just has a couple of hamsters on steroids under the bonnet. :-) -- Dave M.
