the Hammer is the 6.0 liter W 124 from AMG, I love the 500 E though.

I thought the 500E was called The Hammer?  Well, according to Wiki, it's called The Velvet Hammer.

The AMG W124 Coupe with the 6.0 V8 was known as "Der Hammer". :ohyeah:

The true AMG hammer had a bored out 6.0 V-8.

Oh, and my choices...

And with the 4.8L and the much nicer rear end and taillamp package that comes with it.

I agree with the 4.8 liter engine. But I dont like the E66 rear end as much as I like the E65 rear end.

Me neither, it's blander to me.  I prefer the pre-facelift, front and back.

I like my rims better though. I'm getting my windows tinted, and that's the only "rice" I've done to it.

I didnot know that window tinting was also rice. Hell in your book then effectively 80% of USA is rice. :lol:

Well I already know your affection for stock wheels is huge. So no surprise there that even a nice looking set of wheels would look obnoxious to you.

Quote from: JYODER240 on May 05, 2007, 11:28:49 AM
I'd prefer the 7-series without the obnoxious wheels.

My favorite would of course be the E34 M5.  Give me a 1995 model w/ the Nurburgring handling package.  I prefer it over the "fatter" looking E39.  It doesn't hurt that I have an E34 as well.  Infact, it looks a lot like the one Raza posted, except it is white and it doesn't have the M front lip.

Also, just to clear some things up, the first gen. M5 was the E28 model, not the E12.  Also, the E24 is the original 6 series coupe, not a 5 series  :ohyeah:.

E66 = LWB E65.... No difference in the rear end.

MY impression was that a Saloon was a Sedan. You know, 4 doors, and a Seprate truck. The Mini would now be considered a Hatch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saloon
http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/saloon

Sedans have had 2 doors in the past. the BMW 2002 was a 2 door sedan. In fact, many cars were available as a 4 door sedan, 2 door sedan and 2 door COUPE at the same time.

The mini was a small sedan. And it didn't have a hatch:

My bad I forgot that E66 was LWB version and by mistake I just called it the upgraded 2005 version.
