Introducing my new G55k AMG

Hello MBWorld and the W463 crowd!

I am a new user to the forum, but have been stalking threads for quite some time as I was trying to educate myself while looking for my first G. I have been a huge fan of the Geländewagen for many years, and I finally set my mind on going out and purchasing one at the beginning of the year. Finding the right G was a project in itself as I was quite specific on what I wanted, but a while back I found the (for me) perfect specimen. A black 2011 G55 Kompressor with around 60,000miles/100,000km and a few cosmetic and facelift upgrades as a bonus. G63 bumper, grill and headlight frames with LED's. Almost completely blacked out, and even 31mm H&R spacers all around was included.

As I bought it from an official MB dealer in Germany it came with a 12 month warranty (I suppose you would call it a CPO vehicle?) which certainly can't hurt when buying a car like this. The warranty is valid in all of Europe, which is good as I imported the car to my home country of Sweden immediately after the purchase.

Anyways, just thought I'd say hi and make a quick introduction. I will have a few questions, but will start separate threads as appropriate. To close things off, here are the mandatory pics!









All the best from Sweden!

Welcome. A 2011 with only 6,000 miles is awesome! Good find, and looks like a great truck.

Sounds like a great deal, good looking truck with some upgrades. Looks like even the brakes have been overhauled with new rotors.

Thanks, very happy so far! I was thinking the calipers weren't stock but wasn't sure, but now with you pointing it out I will make sure to have a closer look.

Thank you, Butcher! Been checking out your G's and got very impressed by the look you managed to create. I understand you sold the 65, but kept the 63? All the best!

Many thanks! I hope to put some miles on it this summer, but doubt that I'd get anywhere close to you in that regard.

ps; I've read every post in your G55 Journey thread - absolutely awesome! (replied to the wrong person previously)

Many thanks, excited about it!

Been going through your G55 thread in detail and must say I'm a bit jealous not having access to the type of off-roading you have in the California area. Here we have very strict laws against off-roading, so if I can find a place to take my G on a beach stretch or old logging road I'd be happy. I also have about 3 inch clearance in my garage, so lift or oversized tires are out of the question.

Oh man, well even in the form you have it she should be capable to do just about anything you're allowed to

Im currently up in Seattle, which is a whole different world of off roading, but headed back to LA later this year. Love the nature up here, but miss the non-stop sunshine in California.

Keep us posted as you get to know your truck!
