Mine is black, but that wasn’t me, I was sleeping at 10am
I have seen 2 other blk c55 around Boston (maybe the same one twice) they where both around the same area, BU and Beacon.
Anyway, does anyone know a good mechanic shop around Boston, that has the necessary equipment to change the car's cpu from halogen to xenon?
Thanks

I haven't seen another C55 yet but I hope to. I got the first one my dealer sold (but not sure if that's good or bad).

Rgds,

Darba no sweat man...just trying to help out a fello MB member. I had my Bi-x updated there. I was stupid tho.... I tried to deceive him and tell him that my bi-x didn't work. So he charged me a whole hour worth of work. If i would ahve told him straight up that they were installed after the fact, he would have charged me only 1/2 hours worth of work. Do you ahve your bi-x yet? Have you installed them. Let me know if you need help. Me and a few buddies do those kinds of mods as a side job....

What BMW guys talking smack. Seems like there is quite a good showing of C55 in the area. That being said, a client of mine just got rid of his C32 and has HRE 549 for sale with under 2k miles on them. If anyone is interested let me know. I am not sure what he wants for them, but I know it will be much less then new.

Noka:

How does the C55 compare to your old M5 (I am assuming you are the same Noka from the M5 board)?

Hey TCM: I see you also moved from the 540 to the M5 and trust you are having fun. I've only had the C55 for a short time and don't even have 500 mi on it yet. It's more the size of the 3-series, a platform I thought was always more nimble than the 5. There is no question the M5 has plenty of thrust (maybe not in a straight line like the E55 though). I expect the straight line performance of the C55 to be similar to the M5. Right now, I am enjoying relaxing my left foot in traffic.

Rgds,
Norm

I never met a C55 in HK, only once a CLK55 and several times E55.
I am probably one of the less than ten C55 in the city.

Come spring we will start up again. We do get together to watch car movies and play poker a few times in the winter. If interested, keep checking our events page.

PS: TCM, one of my best friends works at Bavarian auto, and he talks more trash than you could believe.
