Stupid question..... is BlackC230Coupe = Jame55?? The sig is the same.... made me really confused.....
If so, I thought you have (or had) one of the fastest W210 E55....

Yea, I'm in Ft. Lauderdale, and would love to have a GTG. The only problem is that I only have a C-230 SS.
I hope this will not "disqualify" me from the activities. 
Let me know.

then I'm wondering what Harris was referring to when he mentioned the SLK32 tips ???
I did search the forums, but didn't get the answer to my TWIN-oval tip question (part # & Price $).
Below is the part # I got from Harris, but for a SINGLE AMG oval tip, which is not what I want. I currently have the stock MB single oval tip, and would like to change it to the chrome AMG twin-oval tips pictured on the European AMG C32 COUPE model, not sold in the US.

Mercedes AMG W203 C-Class Rear Silencer, Oval Twin on their web site:
ENGISOFT is # ENG2033 Price: $999.00
AUTOCLASS.net had it as well, but since become a DEAD LINK:
AUTOCLASS was # B66030816 Price: $620
Don't know if they were selling the same thing. Engisoft (Guisell) e-mailed me saying that this was an OEM part, that would fit my Coupe and the price was for the "system from the catalytic back."
As far as inexpensive, I'll pay the $999 ENGISOFT price eventually, but just wanted to ensure that the AMG Twin-oval tips were or were not available independently. Still looking though, because parts in Europe are sometimes different than in the US, specially when it comes to AMG stuff.
Anyway, Harris & Wiedermann, thanks for the info.
If anyone can help clarify the availability of chrome AMG twin-oval tips, or can beat the ENGISOFT price for the partial "system", then please let me know.Any EUROPEAN forum guys, with the C32 COUPE out there ???
Part #'s, prices, info, anything ???

Great C55 Neal !! I'm jealous, and definitely my next MB will be something just like the C55.

As promised here are some better pics.
Today was the first time i actually drove it alot. about 98 miles to be exact, lol. My impressions are, I LOVE IT! The power is great, the styling is great, and it happens to handle very well. Some may not like it, but it surprisingly very harsh over all sorts of pavement, my c230 with H&Rs, renntech shocks, eibach sways and 19s did not even feel as harsh. But personally i love the feeling of it. Some may like a soft suspension but in a sporty car i dont like that. It felt pretty similar to how a M3 rides. (i did not try the twisties yet :p ) Over all, the car is great, i am very happy with it so far. The only other thing i noticed is not the best is the gas mileage. But from the way i drive, i cant expect gas mileage of a C240. :p

That's awesome that you are enjoying your vehicle that much. I was wondering though, what was the deciding factor in your purchase? I mean if you have that much cash or lienency to purchase a 60K vehicle, why did you choose the C55? I'm still asking myself or trying to convince myself that it is worth ever penny.

Beautiful car. Congratulations. I traded in my C32 for an E55, mainly because of the tightness of the side bolsters causing me to never be comfortable. Just curious if the seats in the C55 are any more expansive.
