not much to transfer over really, especially since I got one with all the options...Obviously I'll transfer over my rims and the Eibach rear sway bar I have, but not much else I can think of to transfer over...I do have the cf rear diffuser that I'm gonna try and see if it'll fit since I never installed it on the c230 cuz I never went dual exhaust on it...but mostly why i wanted a c55 vice the c350 is so i could sell either all the aftermarket parts from the c230 or sell it with all the parts on it...I will transfer over my Philips 6000k hid bulbs from my c230, and probably the HID fogs I have but I am sad about that cuz I was in love witht he projector fogs I installed, theyre cut off was better than the darn OEM HIDs! haha

but ya i think the first thing I'm gonna do is the exhaust (cat/res delete)...then air filter, then probably something electronic from midcityengineering, like a bluetooth/ipod integration thing that wires directly into the MOST system...I'd even love at some point to finally have Remote start with that iPhone system they have! lol, but I could never do it on the c230 since its a manual...Then I'll do a tune, but I'm not sure if im gonna go with some headers cuz I would want to tune after the headers with the exhaust and filters etc...so idk, lol so many options, not so much money now! haha plus I'm gonna have to get my hands on some more adjustable camber bolts and have them installed and balanced for my 19" so I dont get crazy uneven wear on my rims like I did at the beginning on my c230, and that'll be like $300+ for install and alignment

well finally drove her home last night and its amazing the difference in feel and driveability between the c230 and c55...its truly a closet monster...only thing I don't like so far is the lag when first gettin on the pedal...i assume its the drive-by-wire lag that they those Sprint Booster were sold to get rid of...and im desperately looking for new maps cuz my house doesn't exist in my gps and it was a pain to get home from NC last night haha...luckily i knew where the mercedes dealership was in virginia beach and when i put in the state and city, i just the POI button and it was the first listing (go figure) haha....

also the guy has an ipod cable coming from the glove box but still has is CDC...so i'm assuming its simply plugged into the "aux" on the back, but i've only seen the aux adition where they simply add a 3.5mm jack to that cut out int he glove box, his is a mercedes ipod cable and when i plugged in my iphone it showed up on the center info display and not on the comand screen...which I'm gonna have to change asap cuz i cant listen to my ipod one song at a time, i have to do it playlists at a time, lol
