Bought this car a few weeks ago.
2000 E55
62k miles
Thanks to Serge at Hyevon..
Ed at HMS
Mikey at VERSUS.

Before... check out the 14K gold emblems...

After....

Love the interior..

Lowered on Vogtland Springs #1 pads, I think.
19 inch staggered Carlsson 1/6 EVO
Bringing back the hoodstar
Still have a few minor things to do.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful, I love your car! Tastefully done...

What are the specs on your wheels? Spacers?

Thank you Sir!

19.8.5F with 5MM spacer
19x10R with 5MM spacer
I had some left over tires that I took off another set of wheels
235/35
265/30
will probably get 245F and 275R down the road.

Very cleanly done, so much better with silver emblems! If you need any performance parts for it shoot us an email/PM.

Congrats!

jtbeche · 09-28-2009, 08:20 PM

I like the drop. I have never really been a huge fan of the wheels but I actually do like them on your car. Nice work.

Nocturnal-G · 09-28-2009, 08:21 PM

Fred... remember what I said? LOL.

I've seen this 55 in person and sat in it... So clean!

Fabio D · 09-28-2009, 08:40 PM

You forgot to mention you lowered the car right?? pretty cool

RAMON55 · 09-28-2009, 09:15 PM

Looking good

SleepersRock · 09-28-2009, 09:44 PM

Thats a great looking car. Never cared for the red interior but it actually looks pretty good on a black car. The silver with red interior I saw looked dumb, the white with red also looked pretty weak. This aint too bad. Love the rims also!

Lawrence1 · 09-28-2009, 10:26 PM

good looking car. want to part with your stock shocks(if they're in good shape)?

saintz · 09-28-2009, 10:48 PM

The gold emblems actually aren't that bad (compared to say on a Camry).

Like the new look and wheels, though. The red interior is super rare.

pinoyk20 · 09-28-2009, 11:08 PM

nice car! clean! just an advise wrong place to put the soda.....

JamE55 · 09-28-2009, 11:21 PM

Congrats Fred!

Looks tight!

What happened to the 3 series? Traded it in?

zoink · 09-29-2009, 12:09 AM

Just saw this.... congrats!!!! Finally, you got yourself a W210... My ex is up in Seattle right now...

BTW, take off your front license plate...

ABALONE · 09-29-2009, 04:37 AM

Wow, looks great! Love the new look :-) Am i seeing wrong , or is the 55 emblem a little bit scew?

K-A · 09-29-2009, 05:36 AM

That's f****ng gorgeous. Man I wish I could get the balls to just pick up a W210 E55 as a second car. I just don't think I have it in me to keep up with the potential Reliability, repairs, M-B Maintenance (would need to put high mileage on it), etc.

But I can drool all I want.

I usually hate black, but this is perfect. I also usually hate aftermarket wheels on an AMG, but those look beautiful. As well, great changes with the mods you did, and that red interior is HOT!!

Really? are they that unreliable? With that said, I know how you feel, jumped ship from ///M long time ago to ///AMG, never looked back (except in rear view mirror of course

)

Nice. Where in the Bay are you? I'm in the south bay.

Khiladi1020 · 09-30-2009, 01:50 AM

Very nice. What are the suspension mods, and how does it ride (handling, comfort vs. stock)?
