Benz noob from Vancouver Island Canada

Hey all. HUGE thanks to this forum and the help it's been already. Looking forward to joining the community.

I fell in love with the 2003-2006 AMG E55 when I happened to see one searching through craigslist for a more "professional" car. That's when the reading started and the hunt for my car began.

Picking this 03 up on Monday and super excited. Pics were after the test drive. Insanely fast. Eurotune ECU and TCU with pulley upgrade and muffler delete. Best test drive I've had in my life.

Had it inspected before I committed. It needs a few things but got it for a good price. Motor and Trans are solid. I'll be asking for help if I can't find the answers I'm looking for and happy to find this resource!

My background is Toyota 4x4's and rockcrawling. This is my first "sports car".
