I guess some people like it! I don't think it's THAT bad. However, I'm not a big fan of that color on the E55 either.

Some cars look awesome in yellow though...
think Ferrari F355! 360? Porsche Turbo and our very own ExtremeE500's yellow E500

They look better in real life. You could order them like that from the factory. I saw a w210 E320 Wagon that colour in Halifax. It certainly grabs the attention.

I remember seeing this car on Ebay about a year or so ago. It got relisted several times as I remember. I wonder how it ended up here, as it had California plates on it at the time.

Or could there be two?

I am a fan of yellow cars, don't get me wrong. This one just scream taxi yellow though. I don't like taxi yellow on anything but Crown vics and Caprice classics. Definately not on a fine MB

i must be nuts, cause i love it! I'd definately take that over a silver one, silver is just to "blah" and understated in my opinion. I think it looks sharp and screems "look at me, i go fast" lol.

Real bananas they are.

I believe we have a forum member (EXTREME E500) who redid his W124 in yellow...it looks sharp!

I'd buy it, put on a taxi sign, and charge my passengers for rides .

I like it, it may not be a porsche, lambo or ferrari, but yellow does suit the car. Just need to get rid of the chrome.
