Btw.... Do any of you guys listen to The Smoking Tire... a few podcast's ago... they were talking about these E55's at the local street drag races at night(illegal). Seems all you need is a chip and a new s/c pulley and your into the 10's with these cars. THAT'S NUTS!!!

The rotors likely need replaced as well. Sounds like they did half a brake job. Haggle the price or get them to replace them and the tpms sensors.

@Dackelone Car has 59k miles, car temp didnt go up much wen i was driving around for 20 mins or so puching it on the freeway and local roads.
@pukicabuki i never heard the noise wen i test drove an 05 E55 from the dealer, just the supercharger whining noise which im familiar with, this 2004 E55 makes another loud pitch noise aside from the supercharger. i feel like either the belts are causing it or the pulleys. idk, i told the owner to ask their mechanic what the problem was and they will get back to me hopefully this week. Very honest seller btw, 1 owner vehicle.
