Had to say goodbye!

So I finally took the plunge......I traded the C32 in for a 05 E55.......Clean car with only 17500m......Hopefully it will treat me as well as the old one. Thanks for all the C32 help!

OH I think you will be VERY happy with an E55. Even with the mods it looked like you had on the C32 the E55 will pull even harder than your C32 did. Any plans yet for engine mods for the E55 yest? Pics please when you get it.

good move...

you will miss the handling and brake feel of the C32.

The E55 is not very good when pushed hard and brakes feel softer.

Add a pulley and FMIC soon.. you gon't regret it. The best 2 mods for this car.

Did you sell your Evosport pulleys or leave them on the car. Just trying to get an idea of what used set of ASP or Evosports or going for. From what I have seen they are going from $400 +

Although the C32 is a hard car to let go off and very hard to forget, the E55 is a perfect successor. It is definately a new chapter with the E55, but just remember the E55 power and torque delivery may become VERY addictive

Don't forget to post pictures.....
