SPR is out!

Hey Guys,

Dunno if its circulated around, but I've been out of my c55 for some time now. I had MB buy it back as a lemon due to the ongoing transmission issues I was having. (I'm an attorney.) This is why I was selling all the parts...

I still have some stuff left over that I just want gone as I'm moving. If anyone can use them, just toss me whatever you think is reasonable. In the interest of curtailing spam just click my sig. on the little crap that's left and scroll to the bottom.

As some of you have been asking, I picked up an 05 e46 M3 with the competition package and every option avail. I couldn't be happier. Its comedy, as I spent so much mf money on making the 55 what I wanted whereas the competition package basically does it from the factory.... although I cooked the brakes in the first canyon run with the car, heh. It's really a shame MB never allowed the performance salon parts to the US...

Thanks,

Sean.

Good luck, your 55 was a nice car!!! (cept for the trans of course). I did a Lemon Law on a Nissan Quest and won!!! Same issues, trans problems. Also being an Esq., it was easy for me Word of advice for all you guys who have new car with problems: Document Document Document!!!

Thanks. yeah I documented it throughout the service period and extended MB CPO warranty and they still didn't fix it even with consulting with the german techs. They tried to give me a new tranny with a release, said not and got the car repurchased in 1mo.

The E46 M3 ZCP is a sweet sweet car. Very pure.

You will miss the torque though, it's not a very great daily driver.

I agree very raw...much like my prior 911. Car is actually a great DD. No complaints whatsoever even with SMG.

Ok. I'll post some pics when I get a chance. I'm actually fixing the drivers seat as the wire loom ate and cut itself and I actually want the bolsters to work

Sean,

I just need the tranny dip stick and the funnel. Already have lots of fluid and the MB oil filter wrench. You are welcome to send me that stuff with the dip stick but, let some one else have it if they need it. I'll paypal you now. BTW, I'm having my shop install the BS sr -- should be done tomorrow. I decided not to go for the BS sr cooler and told the shop only to replace the u-joint if necessary. But I did give them your instructions to use the BS fluid, tape the rack off when removing and to remove the lines carefully (forgot the details). I'll let you know what its like after its on.

Marc
