Picked up my E55 wagon!
I have been wanting one ever since they were announced. I've had several really fantastic cars in my driving life but this one is the coolest, rarest thing I've EVER owned. I've read they made less than 200 wagons and even less E63 wagons. Since I bought it just before Thanksgiving I haven't had a chance to detail it nor photo it but here is a shot picking it up. It hauls the family and of course hauls a$$!!
I'm not sure what options it does have but I know it doesn't have the rear thrid row and keyless go. It does have the K40 Calibre radar system. This is going to be my daily and the 911 is for the trackdays and date night. Only thing I plan to do is Eurocharged stage 1 and MAYBE try to retrofit rear jump seats.
Cheers.

I think I may have looked at that car, but couldn't justify shipping another car across country, looking at one more local, but has not hit my price point yet....needs to come down about $3k.

Awesome family hauler.
We had the third rear facing seat in our '82 300TD wagon, and used it. In retrospect however, I would not spend the money or hassle on a retrofit, as there is no protection in a rear end collision.

I saw a normal E55 at a trackday not long ago.....it was flying around the track with TWO car seats in back!!!
One of the coolest pictures I ever saw in a car mag was of a new E55 doing a righteous burnout with 2 little boys in the rear facing back seats......the smile-cheer on those boys face was priceless

Great car! I've always loved wagons... especially fast ones.
