Greetings and Salutations!

Hey everyone! Scott here. Had an E550 that was totaled and upgraded to a 2013 SL550 BiTurbo.

My E was very fast, so I assume I'll be modding the SL soon. just wanted to introduce myself and say "Hi"

well your username still works, ha

Was it just price, or any other reason you didn't go for the SL63? Getting used to not having AWD will be different.

2006 CLS55 AMG Sold 2010 E550 Coupe totaled by mechanic, '13 SL550 I totaled it, 2017 SL63 current
I had an E550 Coupe that was totaled last year, actually exactly a year ago and got a '13 SL550. You will love it, post pics and what mods you are looking at. So far I have just done a muffler delete and chrome delete. Haven't needed to upgrade the power as of yet but a chip will most likely happen some time this year.
