Picked up a 00 E55 Today

Thought I would share, I picked up a one owner very well maintained / clean example. Got a good deal on it and am really enjoying it. The seats are probably the best seats I have sat in recently. The only issue is the headlights are faded, the dealer said they would polish them out for me but the guy had left for the day so I will take it back to them tomorrow to get handled.
The power delivery of this car is so smooth
Here is a shot of it.

I had a black one. Traded it for an S600.

Neat car, but I like my M3 more.

I had an 98 M3/4 from 98 until 07, we seem to have similar tastes in automobiles. The M3 was a good car but after 9 years with it I would be happy if I never drove one again for the rest of my life.

Wow, I'm on my second E36 M3. First one was a 95 coupe.
