Hi Everyone,
I'm a new member and recently bought a 06' C55/ 10 miles only!!! . After an extensive research between BMW 335 and S4, I decided for the C55. It's a complete car with low profile. I test drove all the models mention above and I have to say that there's no comparison with the C55. This car have everything power, suspension, luxury plus more. I bought the car for 62K since down here the goverment apply a 40% car tax on every car above 42K. Even that, I think I made a great deal with the dealer since they were selling the car for 71K. I glad to get on board on this forum and l will look forward and share information on mods. Here are some pics.

good pick. enjoy ~~

Welcome

Very nice, white is a good color for C55's i wanted to order mine white but decided to stick with silver because i did not see what it looked like in real.

Welcome!

Clean looking. White looks very good on it.

welcome aboard! Not many white C55's!

Muy bonito !

I would have had a tough choice choosing between those cars... glad you came to the MB world. Any plans for mods?

Great looking car. I only wish my 2 year old engine cover and plaque looks as clean as yours.....

Congrats man!

Owning that car over there is equivalent to own a $100K in the States.

"Bueno" on your selection.

Awesome...

Beautiful Car!! Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy your C55 and welcome to the club!

welcome

Beautiful car. I'm envious. Welcome.

Thanks, for the warm welcome. I will definately going to start on some basic mods for it, like the K&N filters. I was thinking about the Renntech stage 1, but is kind expensive down here. I will keep researching.

Before you go spend any money on even the basics, you might want to do some research on things like K&N's. Their benefits seem to be dubious at best, as noted in this thread:

I realize this review was for a non-AMG, but it is food for thought.

Thanks for the information, I already bought the filters . Anyway I will do some testing with and without the filters and post the results for comparison.

Stop don't put those filters in. They will damage your MAF and cause your car to run lean. I've tried green, k&n and bmc filters and all of them leave a oily mess inside your airbox that will get on your MAF causing it to error which in turn will cause your car to run lean and you will lose hp and tq. Stick with the stock OEM filters. If you want check to make sure they are the thinner AMG filters and not the thicker Mercedes-Benz filters, my C55 came with the thicker MB ones which I changed to the AMG ones. The part number for the AMG filter is 113-094-00-04.

So you know the filters in the RENNtech CF aifbox are the AMG filters. This is because RENNtech knows any filters that use oil will damage the MAF. They use to put K&N in there airboxes, but learned after replacing several MAF's that the oily filters were the source of the problem.

If you want to gain power go with the RENNtech stage 1 the airbox and programing will make a noticeable improvement.

I'm with rawAMGpower on this on. Don't do it. Take them back and save yourself some grief. That was the reason I wanted you to read the other thread.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I will stick with your recommendations. I will go forward with the Renntech stage 1 and discard the k&n filters

welcome aboard.
