Well I finally got the word, I'll be getting my E55 in August. The build
date is in the 2nd week of July. It will have taken only 2.5 years on the
waiting list to get one. The question that I have now is will it be a 2004

I have a 1990 300SE with 136k miles. I have had the car about a year
and have really enjoyed it. However, I am having a couple of problems
and was hoping somebody in the group might be able to shed some light
on these problems.

This car wasn't very quiet when we got it around two years ago, but now the
valve"tapping" noises are so loud that I can hear my wife coming when shes'
still two blocks away (maybe a slight exaggeration). The exhaust system is
fine, its just the valves.  The engine seems to be as ...
