I'm super tired. I'll introduce myself tomorrow. Had to make another trip to go pick up the maxima.

Congrats on the new car man. That's quite an upgrade!

Congrats and enjoy Mike, you've been waiting a while!

Welcome aboard gqpenguin, love to hear what your plans are (it doesn't sound like you like to leave things stock ) and what your impressions are coming from tuned M3's!

Damn, glad to see the new owner is on MBworld 👍

thanks guys. yea make the new owner feel at home, because i don't think the e46 m3 boards will do the same when they found out what he got

the E63 will not be my DD like the C55 sort of was. i'll probably drive it like 3 days a week.

What are you driving instead Michael?

@ GQPENGUIN Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the forum
@ MICHAEL......thanks for answering my pm CONGRATS!!! on the new BEAST!!!

the DD. 2010 GMC sierra Z71.


the monster

Oh nice, why though? Don't want to rack up miles on the E63? It does make it more special though to drive the E63.

Haha yeah thats true. Well im glad he made the right decision of favoring the c55 over the e46. Its an all-around, better built car. These things are almost bulletproof! Im sure the new owner will have a great experience with this car.

No, I think you must have misread. The new owner has a supercharged E46 M3 and just picked up the C55. I believe he has an E9X M3 as well if I'm not mistaken.

absolutely right. i want HIM to introduce himself though. i still gotta find the owner's manual for him. idk what happened to it. maybe i can get him to come out to the meet on the 17th! it'll look like i have both cars

.........SUHWEEEETTT!!!!

Good s**t bro

Oh wow, youre right, i misunderstood this. I thought that he sold his m3 to get the c55 as a replacement. Now that i know its vf engineering supercharged, i totally understand why he wouldnt let go of that. Those two cars make for a killer duo!

Hey Guys!

Sorry for the late introduction. I picked up the car about a week ago from Mike. I actually sold my E46(VF-supercharged) AND E92 M3 to fund the lady's medical school.

She owes me a GTR once she graduates.
I do have to say, the c55 is a blast to drive around town and I really like it. The m3's are more precise and have a little more top end power, but around town I'm really digging the 55's torque.

The M3 forum members dont like me anymore.

Here is a list of cars that I have owned.
95 honda accord v6
98 Honda Prelude SH (crap)
2001 Integra Type R (awesome, was stolen)
2003 is300
93 rx-7 R1
E46 M3 VF-supercharged stage 2
E92 M3 stock
1995 E36 M3
2004 Honda S2000 AP2
2006 Evo IX

Nice to meet everyone! Anyone have questions about these cars feel free to ask. I still don't get how Mike kept his car so clean.

Thanks, Ed

I'm already thinking about getting some coilover's and possibly a custom exhaust. I'm not going to go too crazy on this one I think.

The week before I sold the car, a pulley broke off, hit the oil cooler lines and almost left me stranded on the freeway. I limped it home since I was only about 5 minutes away. The car then decided to bleed out the 10-w60 oil (castrol tws $14 qt) all over my garage that I had just changed a few months ago.

That was the sign for me to fix the car and then sell it.

Headers and a tune will solve that problem. I have kleemann headers and tune on mine and It's pretty much on full torque all the way to redline now.

Congrats! Nice upgrade!

You had a rx7?
Do tell me more?
Please dont say you put a V8 in it.

I had a 93' R1, loved the car. No, I did not put a LS1 in it.

Crazy dumb question. how do you open the gas tank on the C55?

manual labour..

Funny you asked this because I was as clueless as you when I first drove home my C55, stopping at a gas station.

It doesn't have any switches inside the cabin. You just push the left side of the cover to open it. I always wondered about this design since any jerk who's familiar with it can dump sugar on your tank anytime.

If car is locked that gas tank cover will not open..
