C55 is in getting work did

Today I dropped off my C55 to get the engine and transmission mounts replaced. I really like my mechanic and trust him completely, but since this is my first $$$ service done I can't help but feel nervous.
I hope the car feels as good as I've heard once those get replaced & I hope they don't find something else that needs attention.

Also, I'm borrowing my Dad's E39 for the day and my god is that gutless- I want my C55 back!!

Not much point to this thread, but happy Friday all!

I guess your dad's E39 isn't an M5...? I still lust after one of those cars...

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
Motor mounts are going to make a huge difference. Enjoy.

Yeah pointman thanks, I'm excited to pick it up!

Amen Saab- I love the E39 M5, my Dad ended up with a clean 530i second hand. Smooth and comfy, but not much under the hood for the 5-series weight.

Maintenance is always good, I just replaced all four oem rotors and brake pads on my c32.. I feel safer with no worries, oh and the brake dust that my old brakes left is night and day compared to the dust my new ones don't leave..!! Anyway, good luck..

That's a reference to the original Fast n Furious movie.

"What's the retail on that?"

"More than you can afford. Ferrari!"

"Smoke 'em..."

So. Much. Win. from those movies!!!
