Description:

This pains me, but I think it’s time for a new project. This car was purchased in July of 2014 with 80,000 on the clock. It has served me so well over the last 8 years and 100,000+ miles as a daily driver. Since March of 2020 (start of covid), it’s only been driven 9,500 miles as I WFH full-time now. All recent maintenance has been performed since that time much of it in the last month. I have a hefty folder of records from dealer and indy-shop work, but don’t have actual records for the work performed by my best friend that is an AMG Certified Master tech (does my work from home on the side). I can provide his contact as a reference if needed.

December of 2015, car was rear ended in stop & go traffic at less than 5mph. Damaged OEM rear bumper and pushed my car at the same speed into the car in front of me. Enough to crack the top of the bumper/grill. Insurance covered OEM E63 front and rear bumper replacement, plus grill. Took the opportunity to refresh the front end with the new headlights there too.
Overall, car is extremely solid and reliable. Maintenance has always been top of mind for me and I never moved forward with looking for more power. Motor is 99% stock, minus some UDP aluminum pulleys. Garage kept for most of its life with me and always fun to drive.

Will provide updated photos of the car with the refinished OEM wheels and issue points once I get it back from the indy-shop next week. There for maintenance currently.

• OEM facelift bi-xenons headlights: low beams, high beams (halogen), turn signals work perfectly
  - high beams (bi-xenon flap) are not functioning right now. Wiring was replaced, but never had the time to source the coding
  - city lights: LED circuit board city bulb was replaced with a traditional WY5 wedge bulb socket and wired. Not operable right now. Recommend opening headlights and replacing the wire insulation as they have frayed over the years
  - The original OEM E55 xenon headlights will be provided with the car (still have them)
• Panoramic roof: motor is showing signs of needing replacement, last I tried it in the summer, it grinded a bit so I just closed both the roof and the shade since I never used it much
• Cup-holder cover: has a small crack on top
• Rear AC vents: blow out hot air occasionally in the summer: I source down the cause of this issue, but haven’t had time to fix it. Fix is simple and cheap and I have the new chip to replace the defective one in the SAM (will provide forum link to show how to fix)
