My S4 got totalled a week ago, and since then I've been car shopping like mad. As much as I loved my S4, I wanted something a little bigger for added safety. Since I love the S4 engine, I almost went with an A6 2.7t. In the end, however, I defected, and am getting a Merc E55 AMG. Very nice car, built like a tank, and very fast 0-60 times as well. I take delivery tomorrow of a black on black 2001.

So thanks everyone for helping me with my S4 mods (GIAC chip, UUC VMII, etc...) over the past year.

See you on the road!

I drove an E55 once, and must say it is a truly amazing car. Enjoy it, post some pics too!

Great choice! But why not an M5?!

I am going to place an order for a 2002 M5 which is rumored to have engine upgrades anyway and will be the last production year for this body style. If ordered, I can buy at MSRP. Then I will give the E55 to someone in my family. (I got out of the market early last year.)

First, sorry about your S4 and congratulations on the E55.

I am awaiting a 2002 M5 and have heard rumors of engine upgrades as well. Do you have any additional "information," whether it be pure speculation, hearsay, etc.

Thanks.

I've just heard very unsubstantiated rumors that I am, however, wanting to believe. I've heard 435 hp, and possibly sequential gearing. We should know more in a month or two.
