new 55
Hi all, its been a while since i have been on this forum but just picked up a 2005 E55 with 25k miles, in great condition outside of a few minor cosmetic issues.. The car was serviced prior to delivery but I would like to do the following just start with a clean slate. please let me know what you think and i am missing anything / or if there is something i dont need to do.
Oil change is recent. Brakes and tires essentially new.
trans service?
rear diff service ?
brake fluid flush?
air / cabin filter?
check alignment though feels fine.
Also need another key as only came with one. should i have it made at the dealer or are there alternative options?
Thanks again and glad to be back on this forum!

I also don't trust anyone when they say fluids have been changed. When I was E63 shopping one dealer (a large non-MB one) said that the brake fluid was changed when they serviced the car. That was total BS and I did not buy the car or even bother making an offer on it. If they're going to lie about that, what else would they say?
