It's pretty bad ***, but I'm sure it's been ridden hard and put away wet much of it's life.

So do you think it would be smarter to get a stock one with aroundd 50,000 miles for the same price ?

i believe thats actually one of the old LET Motorsports cars.. Some of the LET mods on your cars are still running strong because all of the testing, man ours and trials that where put in to this car..

I flew up to Dallas a few months ago to buy my C32 spatton. If you come down here to pick up that gorgeous white '04 let me know.

C32/C55 AMG
I would go with stock, but I would see I wouldn't spend more than 15k. There are a lot of good ones on the market right now and you should be able to get one at a very reasonable price.

Problem with modded cars is that you do not know what was put in there and how well they did it and then if there are any problems with the car. I know the first one you mentioned says that it is using a 192 pulley, but people are having all sorts of trouble with fuel and running lean using a 185, imagine a 192. You never know about the abuse or the treatment, but then again some people go to great lengths to maintain a car that they spent a lot of money on.

Overnight?
the ad was there last night.....
It was floating around on Ebay for quote a while too.

I would have turned my car back to stock and swap everything into that car and sell the black one dirt cheap.

That thing looks sick. If it came with the monolites, I'd say jump all over it. The thing that makes me nervous is the thought of dealing with issues stemming from the 192mm crank pulley. Without the local backing of a tuner like eurocharged I wouldn't want to deal with that.

what do you guys think of this one?

That would be andys car (owner of eurocharged) and jerrys old car (LET Tuner)

One of the best C32's that has ever graced the street. Thing is freaking amazing and has easily over 1000 hours of labor in it.

Not to mention the awesome sound of cams... shes a beast. I am amazed that it hasn't sold yet. I have been in the car (and driven) many many times, and she is awesome.

2008 BMW 135i
Talking C32

that's my car.
I bought it from Jerry 2 years ago.
It is one of the best sounding cars on the road, and has been my daily driver (minus snow and crappy weather) since I purchased it. It was featured as one of our cars at Hot Import nights last year, and even won an award. AND is also featured as the cover car for the 2009 Eurocharged Calendar cover.

I would be glad to answer any questions about the car.

As for the concerns listed in this thread...

it has been running reliably on the 192 pulley for ~3 years when it was installed and dialed in. all other major mods are 2-3 years old and rock solid.
no it does NOT run lean. Air/Fuel was ALWAYS monitored during tuning.
car even has a KS3 knock sensor built-in - JUST IN CASE.
no leaks
no smoke
no CEL
lots of great mods on the car including: carbon fiber, sways, lowering springs, stainless headers, ported/polished heads, heat exchanger, pulley wrap kit, trunk cooling reservoir, Xenon, HID fogs, cat/res delete, cams, NOS (wet and dry shots), CRY02 cooling (currently not hooked up), etc...
I take good care of my cars.

I am selling it because I need to fund and make room for the next toy: Lotus.

Sounds like a great car savvy, GLWS.

Got any sound clips or videos of it in action?

indeed, that car has the same stuff as mine did, more or less. But then again with an e your looking at 20k difference w same amount of mods. Someone can part this thing for that price and make a killing
