LOL on the weapon! Have to agree although it was quite a few times the price I was expecting to pay for a Mark!

10 years ago it was hot $hit for a luxury coupe. Nowadays, they have some ridiculously fast high end cars. My brother in law had a 07 M5, that thing was sick!

Nice buy though, never drove the E55, but hear they are real sleepers.
From my research they were governed at that speed due to driveshaft vibration. The non LSC with the 307 rear would do 130.

Tis a sleeper IMHO!

Real or fiction?

Comment where I found it:With The Speed limiter removed the W211 55 can do VERY well on a Bumpy Nevada stretch ...

...crappy quality - but basically A STOCK E55 (VMAX REMOVED) is going from 0 to 312kmh (193mph) in 55 seconds... did 2 runs on this road...no other cars
Wheel spin up to 70MPH
312 km ph = 195 mph !!!!:eek:


1 m = 1.6 km :ernaehrung004:

What's up with the crappy quality comment?? I heard they had electrical gremlins on a few years but haven't heard anything else bad. Looks like these cars are a great buy right now but are there problems with them?
