Nice color but what is up with the suspension? Is it on aftermarket airbag suspension...if not then I feel for you if you don't have an aftermarket warranty.

Congrats either way!

ok so here what the mod fever says - 2007 front facelift (not E63) only with those finished 10 spoke 18"s...

i was thinking about doing the E55 conversion but i decided that the 2007 facelift is so fresh lookin. i think the E55 style is getting boring to me..

OK, the car needed a new air compressor pump, one of the easiest and cheapest fix...... but replacement usually is resulted from an accident.... did you get all the details with your car or was this part of the deal?

congrads on your purchase
My opinion on facelift is go with the 07+ e63 , gives the car a nice edge...

Colour combination

The vehicle colour you have is called cubanite silver (as far as I can judge from your model year and photograph).

It matches the pebble beige interior beautifully. Here in sunny South Africa, it was a favourite option for those without kids (interior too prone to showing scuffing etc.). Exterioir is an excellent choice for dusty environments.

I envy your colour combination.
