W221 S500
Smile Hello all - new owner

Hey guys,

I wanted to say hi to all, just joined the MB community with a W221 S500. In the past 7 years I've had only BMW's and changing the brand was not an easy decision , however I do not regret it at all.

A bit more about the car - it is 2007 S500, with OEM S65 AMG package - bumpers, etc, exhaust system. Its on ABC system, and its RWD, not 4matic.

I bought it from first owner has 100k miles on it, maintained by the MB dealer in my city.

Glad to meet you all.

Looks good. Glad it doesn't pretend to be an s65 ... There are quite a few posers in Sofia as is

Did you check the abc hoses for seeping? If not- please have them inspected. In my mind the abc is the only system that you need to watch out for and be proactive.

none most likely.

in bulgaria if you know for certain the true mileage and origin of a used car you are already ahead of the curve lol... in his case it appears the car has a proven history so he did good

Yes, there is no warranty on the benz. But it comes from a guy who has taken care of it well, so lets hope there wont be any issues with it.

Anyway, I wanted to ask if someone knows from where I can purchase specific headlights: they are black from the inside. I see a lot of cars with such ( on the internet and when driving ) but cant find a seller ( or they are made by hand ? ) . Here is a picture.

Those lights were likely cracked open and painted.

the lights are most likely painted like dave said. it shouldnt be hard to do at all. other then the amg badge the car is nice. would look nice with some wheels and lowered a bit. but thats just my opinion

Ah I see. I thought they were some aftermarket headlights, which were ready to go Still, I will talk with some pay'n' spray shops to see how they can do this for me.

Jason - the pictures are from local car selling website, here are other photos of the car from the ad:

Hello all - new owner-farove2.png

The wheels are indeed 20"s ( so says the seller ).

I will keep you posted with any updates on the vehicle

Yeah, it looks like photos from a Benz brochure. The only thing I don't like is the poser AMG badge on the back. Otherwise, rock solid.

For reasons unknown, the inaugural year 221 with the AMG sport package got an actual AMG trunk badge. Just 07's got it, then never again.

Hell, over on the C forum the debate rages about whether the C450, with an engine that's a production line corporate TTV6 that's been "tuned" by AMG, and sells for a modest premium over the C300, is a "real" AMG.
