Guys not to hijack here, I know you're all talking about W210,W211's but just figured I'd throw in this piece of information harvested from a BaT listing for an E55 that wrapped up today. Incase any of you were thinking of getting a better C43 sometime soon, or going back to a W202 from your current e-class....username is dolce71, I have no idea if he's a member here but i guess he's in a similar boat, looking to ****** up an E class so he can unload the C class for a pretty penny.....

that's a nice catch, but not sure how many people here are wanting to pony up for a very low miles C43 like that. we all already have one, and nearly all of us pile on a ton of miles onto ours, as we don't have garage queens. Mine has 311k miles on it.

Congrats on the purchase! I have toyed with a E55, they are dirt cheap right now. I just really enjoy the compact nature of the C43 or C class. I wouldnt mind the W204 C63.

I only have 160,000 miles on my C43 but I haven't really driven it in the last year as it is 2,500 miles away

Just purchased the lomo m1 lowering module for my E63. Super excited to be able to adjust the ride height and get a little lower. My E63 has the P030 package so the suspension was “tuned” by AMG and sits a little lower than a non P030 E63. I think they almost nailed it with the rear ride height but the front needs to come down a bit. It should be here by 5/1/18 so just in time to roll into the AMG PL meet up in style

As per usual with anything I want now the module has been delayed. It is supposed to be here by Friday. The module will still be here in time for installation prior to the meet up so it could be worse . I have the beast in the shop getting an oil change and the PCV valve replaced in preparation for the trip to the AMG PL meet up. I have a carbon fiber diffuser on back order which should be in stock in 3-4 weeks. I plan on powder coating the stock rims a dark gun metal and possibly wrapping the grille in gun metal as well. I believe this will be the extent of my exterior mods.

Quick side note. How were they to deal with? Looking at a car there as well.

Larry demands a high price for his vehicles but you get what you pay for. My E63 was almost flawless inside and out. His mechanics aren't the most professional but they are very knowledgeable and do good work (they replaced the head bolts before I bought the car while I watched). I had an issue getting the vehicle titled and had to ask Larry to send a replacement title which he did in a more than reasonable time. Also, PA seems to be the most stringent state when it comes to protecting the buyer of a used vehicle. All vehicles must be inspected by a 3rd party and must be as described when sold. Larry will provide with you with all the documentation of the inspection at the time of purchase. I would buy another car from Larry.

no rubbing at all. It looks lower in the pics than it does in person. There is a 1 finger gap between tire and fender

UPDATE:
installed the MBH headers and got dyno tuned by Race IQ. My full exhaust set up is MBH headers, MBH X pipe, MBH mid section, 200 cell race cats, stock resonator, stock mufflers. Cold starts are LOUD!!!! Full throttle is LOUD!!! Cruising speeds are very quiet.

The beast made 465 WHP / 416 TQ in 94° F weather. Using 18% drivetrain loss that is 567 HP / 507 TQ at the crank

The ROW air boxes were causing really high LTFT's. Many people have experienced the same issue. I am trying some silicone to solve the problem

I've installed a CF spoiler and have 20% nano ceramic tint that will be installed next Saturday

Sounds great, but for the ignorant what are LTFTs?
