Picking up my new C55 tomorrow

I think that I might cry when I see it

I have had many cars but never one as nice at this.

As you can see from my profile I am an old dog here but have been away for too long. And now I get to be a NEWBIE all over again.

It gets real good gas mileage when you stand on it, right ?!

Welcome to a whole new world or driving. You will love it I remember seeing a thread where hooley said his car was slow without his supercharger lol I still cant get over the power my car has stock. Every car you get in from now on will feel like a turtle. I can't imagine going back to my 3 series.

Well Cali Guys, another C55 will be prowling the OC now!
I loved the drive home from San Jose.

Now time for Sirius, and adding bluetooth (no phone installed) and hardwiring the V1.

Please PM me or post and any suggestions of where I can get this done for a reasonable price anywhere in SOCAL.

Thanks

Good deal. Im in Northwood all the time for the GF's place


As for service B...far too much (399?) or some stupid price. Go see Serge @ Hyevon for all your service As & Bs

Just had my service B done on Thursday actually

Congrats! I had a **** eating grin for about a week straight after purchasing my baby. I was even happier to have paid it in full so people can't say that I have a 5 year loan or something on a used car lol.

It's at the Stealer right now for service (the little one - fletcher-jones)

And I have a new C300 sport loaner -- did they forget the engine?

I miss my C55 !
