Just sharing my 25K C55


Hi all,

I've owned my Mercedes for several years and love it. This forum has been fantastic to read about these cars and learn how they are put together. I don't have any issues, just wanted to share my car with you.
It's got 25,000 miles and is in superb condition. It even has the new car smell. All stock except a blue tooth system for music / phone.
Thanks C

wow its beautiful! Did you replace the entire deck (stereo)? Or just add a bluetooth module? For reference, I have a 2006 C55 that just hit 180K and I drive it everyday. At this point I'm hoping to hit 300k, love the car!

Thanks for the kind comments! Truth be told, I drive a very old Civic to work everyday, leaving my C55 for special occasions or a weekend cruise with my Wife. Driving a lesser car everyday sure makes the AMG feel pretty special.
I left all the stereo alone and just added a simple bluetooth system. It's a small black puck discreetly mounted near my right knee, and works really well. I forgot to mention the little reversing camera too. Here's some pictures......

Nice ride, love Mars Res in these cars. You should look into getting it ceramic coated to keep it looking amazing.

Here are a few shots of my baby

Those roof racks are a nice touch Rilonprime. Fantastic picture too.
As for two C55's in the same garage. I've never seen two of them within 6 months, let alone parked together.

Very clean C55. Mars Red is a hard color to find on these. Not a red fan but cool to see. The only gripe is why did the previous owner do a cob job with the camrea? Upgrade the old OEM system to a modern one with apple car play and a proper backup camera or front camera or even both. They sell units that look OEM.

Hey 'hsmps'. Awesome to see another red C55. Ive never actually seen one other than mine. Do you have a slight on your windows? Looks great by the way.
Yes, I'm also interested in this aftermarket head unit that would be iPhone compatible.

That may have been me. Ive only been up there once in this car though. I didn't realize how rare these cars are until after I bought mine. I never see them around.
