bmw z3 2.8
if u list cars, post pics

i mean in general.. i don't own a mercedes, my parents do, i own a bmw z3 2.8 (bought and payed for myself) and have done basic **** to it and i'm 19. Overall the point is this... I hate it when people pose that they have outlandish cars at the end of a message... if u drive something else it's fine.. just don't bull**** that you own like the creme de la creme of cars.. it's not realistic. And chiming in on well known owner facts that could only be experienced by someone that has a certain car is dumb too especially argueing about it. People generally do not have a cl55 with a kit, tuned ferarri, maybach with 23 inch rims, bmw m3, bmw m coupe, sl500 with the rims that keep on spinnin' and a new 7 series.. rap stars don't even have that.. CEO's do not have that... (i know a few CEO's.. they keep it simple... one expensive car, a normal lux car for work, another car for errands, and maybe an suv unless they are collectors which entails older cars too) all of that other **** is just not true and childish actually. And if you do actually have those cars, I say that you prove it and post the pics..or if asked be ready to provide someone with them through email. I am not outright calling those of you that have the ferarri's,m3's, cl600's and the 2036 amg sl55 that floats and has the batman fins bold face liars.. i just ask that you prove it with a pic.. which anyone that has a nice car that they LIKE can do or will find a means to do.

IF YOU DON'T STOP THIS NONSENSE, I'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ISSUE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU FOR ONLINE HARASSEMENT!

THEREFORE, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU REFRAIN FROM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF OUR MB OWNERSHIP STATUS!

OH AND BY THE WAY... THIS IS MY BENZ AND I'M GOING TO SUBMIT IT AS EVIDENCE IN THE COURT OF LAW!

(THIS IS STRICTLY FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY)

What colour is your car? It's hard to tell from the picture.

It seems crazy to say - don't ask us to prove/show our cars and then say - by the way here is mine! What's up with that? You are just feeding into drexalbmw's B.S.

pocholin:

Your E55 has euro side markers - your car Euro or U.S. spec?

My car is a 99 model, just got it almost a month ago, my plates haven't arrived yet.

The color is either mocha or obsidian black, I can't really tell by myself, dealer listed it as black, but it is not a true black.

I'm running the Bridgestone Potenza RE730s on it, and sidemarkers came with the car, so maybe somebody wan tell me a little more about my car, so I can learn about it, look at this pic, the bumper trim seems to be different than normal, what is it?

Thanks

pocholin, 1999 E55's only come in White, Black, Obsidian Black Metallic and Bright Silver Metallic.

It is interesting that you car has Euro side markers on the fender. Here is a pic of another 1999 E55 and see how they differ. I saw another 1999 E55 on Ebay with Euro side markers.

Looking at the sidemarkers makes it look like it's out of place?? I'm assuming that that's a used E55? I think the previous owner just put the sidemarker as a visual enhancement??

Yes my car was a pre-own vehicle, I'm confused,
is side marker the turn signal on the fender (fully functional by the way)?

also what is nt clear is what you call the trim on the bumper.

Pardon me, but my english is a little limited, my mother tongue is spanish.

May be my car is Obsidian Black Metallic, it has a grey metallic accent on it, it looks really nice when is clean and the sun is out

Only problem in te whole car are the scratched wheels, I didn't notice that before buying it from the dealer (I was drawling over the other parts of the car, and I didn't notice wheels), reason why I'm selling them. I'm going to replace them with other style AMG wheels.

JamE55, the car I pictured is a 1999 E55.

The side markers on the fender are not glued on. The fender actually has a whole in it for placement of the turn signals/side markers. Only the european version routinely came with that type of marker.

Looking at CLK's on Ebay - All 1998-1999 had also had those type of side markers. It appears to be deleted from 2000 & up CLK's.
