Im pretty new here too and im also 19. You will grow to love your car like a mmber of your family. It will become the reason to leave your house in the morning. Word of advice from someone who learned the hard way, dont ask questions that you can find the answer to by searching... they dont like that. Congrats on the new car and welcome.

see, im new here, so im ok with this, but if you ask any1 else that, they will be upset. lol. I drive a 2006 E55, it normally says it on the left side of the post, unless the member never stated his/her car. Enjoy the car, my only advice is, know your limits, and pay attention to those around you. Dont push your limits and dont do anything that you are uncomfortable with. Have fun

I'm also pretty new here, just picked up a 55 last week. Congrats on owning such a fine car at such a young age! Overall, I don't think there's anything particular to look out for, but if you think anything might not be working correctly, just take it to your dealer since everything's still under warranty

Oh, and post some pics!!

Congrats on the new car. I have always been a Ferrari guy and my SL55 was my first MB. The AMG definitely has me hooked! It has been very reliable, with just an AC compressor failure last year.

You will love this car! ......and when you are ready for some more power, let me know!

Learn to drive with the power you have right now before modding it. Adding power should not be your primary concern right now. I would say go to a driving school that teacher you the limits of the car.

Prepare for guys to relentlessly check out the car asking you how many girls it gets you......

The only time the car is a chick magnet is when the wifeeee is in the car....
