Description:

BACK UP FOR SALE!!!!!

I am posting on MbWorld as I would like this car to go to someone that is a true enthusiast and will take care of this car like I have.  I am in no rush to sell and will wait for the right buyer.   This is my third E55 and the fastest one I’ve owned.  The V8Kompressor cars all have different characteristics/personalities and having owned three 2006s, this is by far the strongest (when stock) and now much stronger with basic upgrades that I’ve owned from the prior two.   

I bought the car from a forum member located in OK…, it was bone stock to the tires with 41K miles back in 2020 and has been my daily since.  I work from home 90% of the time, so the mileage reflects that after three years of ownership, I’ve only put about 14K miles on the car.  This is my daily so mileage will go up each week, albeit slightly.

Upgrades: 83mm upper pulley from UDP, belt wrap kit, EC tune (shelf tune, not dyno tuned), PLM XL heat exchanger, and Bosch 010 pump.  Car also has. EuroTek 4-fin diffuser and a carbon fiber front lip, please see attached pics.  If those interested in numbers, car made a best of 474rwhp/531rwtq with the upgrades. Car has and is only been run on 93 always.

The car has always been garaged, rarely driven in rain (usually caught in it), never driven in snow, salt, or any inclement weather.  

Car will come with a factory Mercedes car cover and I’ll have it professionally detailed inside and out, including trunk and engine bay for the new owner. 

Some notable items for folks:

1) All Wheels have some sort of curb rash all around, nothing deep, can be easily refinished/buffed by a reputable shop.  Purchased the car like this.

2) Car is 17 years old and has your typical dents, dings, scratches/ imperfections but nothing that can’t be addressed, I just did not think they were bad enough to address during ownership.  Driver seat side bolster (common issue with these cars) has very, VERY minimal wear- almost unnoticeable, as seen in one picture attached.    

3) Mechanically, the car needs nothing as of now.   I will do an oil and oil filter change before the buyer purchases the car, I have had the oil changed every 5K miles since ownership.  Plenty of tread on tires, 85%+ left.  Brand new main battery installed summer 2023.  Air filters changed late 2023.  Cabin filter changed late 2023.

4) Title in hand, no liens, ready to sign over to new owner. 

5) Shipping is buyer’s expense/responsibility, but I will make myself available to meet the driver or do what I can/need to get the car on a trailer and will include pics and vids during the process on day of pickup.

6) Car is located in Maryland just outside Annapolis.

7) Price is $30K or OBO.  No trades.  Straight sell.

8) Wheel center caps are black (factory is silver), and the badges have all been swapped with glossy black finish badges.  Raised star replaced with flat AMG Affalterbach emblem.  I have an extra black “AMG” flat emblem I’ll leave in car as well. 

9) All books included.

10) I have two keys.  

11) Main Options: Keyless GO and Bi-xenon active headlights.  I will see if I can find the build sheet for a full list.  Those two options are the ones I wanted with the car.  

12) Since this question is asked frequently, why am I selling? I am not looking for trades or trade with cash, just a sell.  Looking for something with more space.

13) I will provide any receipts I have for all work completed since I’ve owned the car and anything else I have from prior owner.  I only took the car to a certified AMG mechanic Indy shop.  He is the only person I trust with my German cars and one of the best locally.  Car was serviced at dealer a couple times when Indy not available for basic maintenance.   

If you want any specific photos, please let me know via PM.

Lastly, no tirekickers or dreamers.  I’ve been selling my vehicles for decades and can tell who is serious and who is not.   If car doesn't sell here, will be posted on a few sites.

THANK YOU FOR THE INTEREST!
