Dynocomped C43K, 08 X5
I'm selling my 43...

Hi! members! I made a decision to sell my 43...
I'm moving to south korea next march and I was thinking of taking my 43 with me. Then I talked to my buddy who knows a lot about s.korean aftermarket industry and told that there is no shop I can take my 43 with the mods I have done to it. There's simly no shop that can work with the ecu on c43s and if anything goes wrong they won't even touch it since they don't know anything about the car.
So, I made this painful decision to let my baby go..
As many of you may know, my 43 has almost everything a c43 can possibly have.
Heres the list I can think of:
White c43 with blue and black 2tone interior about 58k miles on it.
HPS gen II supercharger with upgraded heat exchanger and fuel pump, new pulleys, tuned by dynocomp in scottsdale AZ.
Kleemann headers with custom true dual exhaust by MBH.
Wavetrac LSD with new bearing.
KW V2 coilovers with H&R front and rear sway bars.
Almost every suspension parts and bushings replaced new about 1.5 year ago including kmac front/rear.
Real carbon fiber interior trim and b pilar.
18inch monoblock with ps2 tires.
Genuine BBS LM 18 with new red center cap. (whoever buys the car can take these for $2,000)
Those are the things I can remember and inspections were done at mb and changed all the fluids 1 year ago. Engine oils been refreshed every 5k miles and tranny fluid 10k miles. I just got done with custom dual exhaust and lsd, but did not even have time to enjoy them much. I even bought BBS LM couple of weeks ago... new wheel caps and wheel locks too... I wanna keep this car for my life but just so scared of the lack of available service over in s.korea.
I know there is one c43 nut like me out there who can truly appreciate the car and the mods I have done. I'm taking the biggest hit I ever took on car, and one can take advantage of that. If you have any questions about the condition of the car, you can call Rich @ Dynocomp or anybody over there. I've spent about $45k in total. The car drives very very good.
I'll let my baby go for mere Make an offer!. Please let your friends know! There are some local interests but I will make sure mbworld members get the first chance to buy my 43.

Apologies if this comes off as rude, but if you ever decide to part out the mods before you sell, please hit me up. They're all just that awesome.

No offense taken sir! but I'm not parting out the car I think I can only part out the exhaust but who would buy them for good money (I paid about $1600)... I'm trying to sell my old exhaust (supersprint exhast and resonnator) for $600+shipping, but there's no interests even the price is so low. Yea, I did not spare money or time on building my car

Sorry to hear about your decision to sell. I hope someone who appreciates these machines picks her up.
P.S. Ever think of buying your own Star Diagnosis program? They are available to non workshop people and you could do the testing and diagnosis yourself. There is little electronics in the 43...

Thanks a lot guys! The rear problem of taking my 43 to s.korea is the supercharger maintenance and ecu work. I'm told that no one will work on my car for liability reasons.

The car's been maintained by MB dealership and I can bring the records. It has clean carfax, no accidents or repaints at all. Also, I can get reciets for the tuning as well. The car's been babied and always garaged, and the interior is well maintained. The interior is in perfect condition except for its missing trim parts and the cf trims will be put on over the weekend or next week. The rare blue two tone holds much better than the tuxedo interior I think, since my car doesnt have any fading of color or stains. The outside plastic parts look new as well since the car's been garaged it's entire life.

Damn. You transformed this thing into a beast. Good luck with your sale.

What are the specs on the LMs?

Let me know if you want to sell the LMs separately.

NEW PRICE!

I looked around other amg vehicles for sale and had a reality check. I'm gonna have to lower the price.
The price is $18.5k and with bbs lm $20k.
My CF parts are finally done after 7months of wait.
So, I put some pieces back on after work. Please enjoy!

Nice car mate. People should just snap that car off you. The carbon trim is just amazing on the car. She looks clean. Good-luck with the sale anyway.
