Just took delivery of my 2005 G55K and could not be more thrilled. The raw power is captivating. The stares and gawks you gent when driving this machine is more than worth the price of admission. If the style is 25 years old......it certainly has overwhelming modern appeal. I could not be more happy. Thank you to those on this board for all the help!

AMG power rules!

Nice. Is that the Kompressor one?

What's your experience with euro parking garages? Does your car always fit or do you have to take notice of the ride-in-height?

sorry, my english is not good, I´m from germany.


yes, this ist a model with kompressor (463.270). the "monster" is one month old.

thetires-dimension are 285/55R18. (original amg)

perhaps i will buy brabus-tyres. 20inch.

i´ve upgraded a bull-catcher (is that the word?), new pictures following in the next days.

i have no problems with the parking garages. i dont drive with the G55 in the city. then i take my e500.

the G55K is just a "fun-car".
