Sad day for me! Happy for someone else.

So after much deliberation and delaying as long as i possible could, the day has come and I'm putting my 03 CL55 up for sale as a new baby is on the way. Has parktronic, distronic, keyless go. Need a 4 door, considering an 03 E55 or 01 740il, what are your thoughts (unbiased honesty) if possible lol. PM me for details.

So after years of patiently waiting after selling my '03 55 because of the birth of my son years ago. He (now 5 years old) says to me "daddy I wish you had a fast car". See, I went and bought a V12 750il Bimmer (transporter style) which I drove after selling the 55 as the family car which I just sold a few months back. After driving a V12, I alway knew my next choice was obvious. His "daddy I wish you had a fast car" was a sign and all the blessing I needed. At around the same time, an opportunity presented itself, moreless fell in my lap. I'm now the proud owner of a 65. Always wanted another silver 215, I came across one already w/ Renntech ecu mod and few other mods. Don't know story behind car but I purchase from a nice couple that barely put 3k miles on it after a year. Lesson learned 1) Karma is real 2) Patience is a virtue. Happy to be back in the game!

Thanks

Thanks and good luck on the 600/SL deals. In the meantime, i'll be looking for that 10.99/better post. You got it bro. And I'm sure the SL will turn out sick and clean as usual.
