Back in the fold! 05,430 4matic

After trading my beloved 02 S430 little over a year ago, A move I regretted from day 1, I just purchased an 05, S430 4Matic with 83K and absolutely mint. I'm a very happy man. She's silver /black and couldn't be more perfect. She's a 4Matic which is nice here in the PNW but not a sport, I'll live with it. Post some pics as soon as I get staggered one piece chrome AMG's I had on my 01 mounted. I am just so happy I had to tell someone.

Whoaaa! Got to the tire shop this morning and just as the car was going up on jack, I noticed a thread about staggered wheels/tires on 4matic. Yikes! Caught it just in time, from all my research, just the drive home from the tire shop (40 miles) would likely have caused serious permanent damage to my drive system. Guess these beauties are for sale and new ones on the way.
