You're on crack. An E55 is an E55 is an E55. There are no different versions. I think you are comparing the previous generation (W210 chassis) with the new generation (W211 chassis). Previous generation was NA engine, now its a kompressor. Along with totally redesigned bodies. If you go to dealer and get a 2004 E55, you are only going to get the supercharged one now.
