Dieter-Heinz Kijora and I were finally able to find some free time to do this shoot after a slight delay in the originally scheduled shoot due to the Evosport two-piece brake rotors being on backorder. The rotors were well worth the wait according to the him.
We were had to do this shoot Friday evening since they were going up to Bakersfield for a race Sat/Sun, which they also won BTW (congrats). The shoot was done in the back of the Heinz Gietz Autohaus in La Jolla. I'm sure most people who have visited La Jolla know exactly where this is located since you cannot miss it as you turn left onto Girard Ave from Torrey Pines Rd with the huge Mercedes-Benz logo plastered on the building of the only remaining family-owned factory authorized service-only center in the country
Surprisingly, the theme of the surrounding back wall (colors and black iron bars) closely matched the car which made the restrictions worth it as space was very limited to angle the E55 properly without the three other cars showing.
Here is a breakdown of the mods on this car:
Renntech ELM
19" HRE M40 Monoblock Wheels in a Matte Black Finish
Black Lug Nuts from the ML (to retain black theme for lug nuts)
Pirelli P-Zero Tires (255/285 width)
Evosport Two-piece Brake Rotors
Matte Black Front Grille with body color-matched slats
Matte Black Satellite Radio Antenna
Matte Black Emblems
Smoked Tail Lights
Smoked Turn Signals on Side mirrors
Black E63 trunk lip spoiler
E63 Steering wheel w/paddles
Valentine One
Window Tint
Clear BraIf you wish to read more about the car it is also our April featured car (http://mymbonline.com/hg_e55.php).
