My Untouched 2013 E550....about to get touched.

Hello there! Just sold my E55 AMG yesterday. Picked up a 2013 E550 coupe with 29K on the clock and a 3 year warranty! LOVE the lack of B Pillar in these cars! And the TT V8 doesn't hurt either Got a few plans for her and I'll be posting updates here. Will be a slow burn.....still gotta pay these PITA taxes! lol

Here's a few pics of her.












And here's my previous E55



And my main coupe. Audi S5.



Stay tuned!

Nice ride! Is the S5 tuned? The E550 Coupe has lots of tuning potential! I look forward to seeing your mods.

Welcome! Love the interior/exterior color combo. Judging by your other rides I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Thank you sir! I'm a big fan as well! lol

First up went to add my JL Audi W7 8" to the mix to help the Harmon Kardon. Sounded great for about 10 minutes. Ends up the foam surround dry rotted from sitting in my garage for a couple years. Ended up chunking a Phoenix Gold SX 10" in there for the time being. Sounds MUCH better with a little low end.

How hard was the seat control install? Where did you purchase that item from?

Nice Choice going with Ferrada. They make dope concave wheels with pretty aggressive specs.

Here we are so far. Still needs a lot more low and a lot less chrome. Lol Baby Steps.Very aggressive set-up. It'll all even out once we attain the lows. I'm happy with it! Specs = Ferrada FR2 20x9 front 20x10.5 rear. Nitto Invo tires 285/30 rear and 255/30 fronts.

Looks good. At a glance, they flow well with the seats although the color isn't spot on.
Fitment is on point. How are the offsets?

Thanks! And yeah it's not a perfect match but decent contrast I guess. lol Fitment isn't bad! Gonna definitely need to roll the fenders before going lower.

Well.....I should have done more research on this car. No real way to roll the fenders and my offsets are way to low. Welp. Time to sell the wheels and buy more! lol
