Fellow C32 owers, it's time to say "good bye" & sell some stuff...
Well, after today I will no longer own a C32 AMG. I've decided to switch it up and get an E55, which I'm picking up this afternoon. The C32 is a great car, but I change cars like they're going out of style. Hopefully, I'll keep this E55 for a long time.
On a better note, I have a few items from the C32 to sell. I'll be taking some pics within the next couple of days. I have the following to sell (I will post in the classifides once I'm ready):
*REAL* CL Expression Grill (includes the bar, painted black but can be changed to any color obviously). This isn't the cheap eBay imitation or wannabe $200 grill, this is the real deal. Asking $450.00.
18" HRE 547's (will fit C-Class, CLK-Class, AMG included). I just had these totally refinished to 100% like-new. This cost me over $1100 to do and I didn't have them mounted on the car for the winter. These are a $5000+ rim if bought from HRE, I'm asking $2800+actual shipping.
If interested, please send me a PM and I'll send you pics once they're taken.

On a side note, can you post pics of the HRE's? I may be interested in them.

$25k difference is pretty good. The $70k is a high retail on the car (should be upper $60's) but the $45k trade-in is high on my car (should be lower $40's), so it evens out.
The E55 has a bunch of options I've never had either, Keyless Go, Active Ventilated Seats, Drive-Dynamic Seats with Multicontour Seatbacks, plus some others that I have had (Xenon lighting, CD Changer, etc). It's pretty much loaded out since the 2003's didn't have NAVI has an option. I think I can live without NAVI until I decide to purchase an aftermarket system.

Here's a pic of the wheels on the car before I took them off to get refinished. Like I said earlier, I will be taking some detailed pics so you can see how beautiful these HRE's really are. Also, the CL grill is on the car that I'm also selling:
18" HRE 547: 18x8.5 (front) & 18x9.5 (rear)

I love those cars and hopefully once the lease runs up on the A4 - I'll get one in a few years.

1. Leave the grill alone.
2. Flat emblem on hood.
3. Euro impact strips.
3. 19" HRE's of some kind (in the near future).
Nothing performance-wise yet, but K&N Filters...

Congrats ! Great man !! That's greatest news , I am sure you will enjoy the wild lion (if C55 is a wild horse)
cnt
p.s.
E55 - here sells 160-165K+ , may be a dream to me forever, not say the 467 hp fuel consumption would be a fortune here. If I can spend this money one day, it will be a 997 for weekend and keep my Honda Accord for day2day. But that would never have that " combined fun " like our C55 or your E55.

Yes, these aren't the 547R's, did I say they were or something?

Picked up the E55 this evening and put a few miles on it. Jeez, I love this car but still do miss my C32. Too bad it's raining here or I would give this beast a much needed "test".
