My new C55

I was looking to buy a used C32, but when I saw this baby, I knew it was for me. I was going to have it shipped to me, but my wife wanted to pick it up so we flew to Georgia and took the greatest test drive in the world back to CA. The dealership back there had prices no one out here can even come close to. After getting back, we know we made the right decision. This was the only one I could find in the pewter color with the ash interior. Now I have to figure out what I want to add first (after some dark tinting). The only non-standard mod she has so far is the 19in. Lorinser wheels. I see much money coming out of my pocket in the future.

The picture is from inside the dealership, haven't had too much time to take some on my own.

That is one fantastic looking car. Great color combo as well. I have to admit, it's one of the better looking light colors!
Do you have any more pictures from different angles? (Perhaps of your wife with the car as well? )

Welcome to the board BTW!

I would suggest that the first mod you do is Greenfilters. A lot of folks on the forum have them without any reports of problems or anything.
Second thing I'd do would be RENNtech ECU for your car. It'll make the throttle response even better (so will the new air filters) and it'll tune the car for more hp and torque!

If you want anymore information on mods, just give me a PM as I can get anything RENNtech sells as well as a slew of many other manufacturers.

Yep, a lot of dealers sell aftermarket rims, they just charge insane prices though.
I saw a set of RENNtech monolites going for 7500 for just the tires alone!



That's a picture of the rims @ Mercedes of Sugarland a few months back.

Honestly I haven't been a big fan of the Lorinsers, but I have to say on the Pewter they look fantastic. Congrats. I like your wife too. Cool girl to take the big road trip.

Very cool I know that car. I test drove it at Select very nice car and the rims do look great on it. I almost bought this one over my new one but I have a thing for black, good luck with it.

I love the black but I made one mistake, I should have held out for the black interior. I got a deal on this light grey and I hate it, I love the color but I am scared to touch it out of fear of getting it dirty its so light.
