so i have had a thing for wagons for a while.i have now owned 3 bmw wagons, one of which i swapped an entire m3 drivetrain into before someone made mean offer i couldn't refuse for it. I was growing weary of the bmw suspension, its great and all when you are pushing it, but when the roads get bad so does the whole experience. After talking with my buddy edis at length about the e55 amg (specifically sedans) i was searching craigslist all over teh south west for the "right" car. I got a "few local results found, but here are some others" on craigslist and SHAZAM. wagon.
pictured above is greg, he bought the car with 25k miles as the second owner.
greg was cruising along at a scant 35mph when the car sputtered and died.
his friendly stealer charged him shy of 2k to change the starter (?) and then the ignition switch. the car still wouldn't run. Then they told him it had a "couple bent rods" he listed on cl and i harassed him 3 times a day for a week, finally he realized I was serious and told me i could pick it up. Saturday morning i hooked up the flatbed and drove to palm springs at 5 am. returned home with my newest project at 6pm.
Born and raised in tempe,az. owned about 85 cars since turning 16.
among them,
s54-6 speed- lsd swaped 2001 325it
2jzgte - r154 1993 sc300
.....and some other boring and fun stuff.
to me, the e55 wagon is the holy grail of the e55, i dont have any interest in buying the newer ones and watching the depreciation eat up all of my smiles. if i was a rich guy, i probably would, but im not. Super excited for my new journey.
Welcome to MBWorld Kevin. E55 wagons are a rare breed. One of my buddies has a heavily modified one that was absolutely amazing. Grats on the new project so hope you can get her running again!
Welcome to MBWorld! What a great introduction and some great cars you've owned since 16. If you ever need anything for your newly acquired MB please do not hesitate to let me know.
