By some implausible chance I have ended up with a 2002 E-55 ( Silver exterior, Black Interior, Navig., CD, and wired for Tel). Until now I was mainly interested in the BMW M5 as my dream car, but driving the E55 for the past two weeks has changed my mind about the fuddy duddy MB line. AMG has done a terrific job on the engine, suspension, and the interiors. But the steering is too soft and does not give adequate feel of the road. Also it seems to pull to one side when the tires encounter uneven road surfaces. The Bose audio system had a annoying static but the dealer is trying to fix these things. <br> <br> But the car is a sleeper. I had no idea that an automatic can shift so silky smoothly. Flawless engine response. Flat torque curve over a broad rpm range. <br> <br> Incredible. Now I am a convert. If only I could figure out the minor quirks, I will be really in heaven. <br> <br> Nat Kannan<br> Northern Virginia<br> <br>
