SL55 AMG
Thanks, will do just that. And you can expect this one will not get modified or driven too excess. Prior to shipping the fellow picking up the car went over everything looking for at least one item to note but couldn't find a single defect. When the car arrived we were surprised the car was so pristine. Good car to keep in the family for many years to come. Fortunately, my niece's husband is a very successful fellow who can easily afford to maintain the car when it’s his turn to take over. Maybe I should add a caveat that his son has to prove his worth before it's passed along to him. Otherwise one of his sisters should be granted the right to boot him out of line.................(G)

[quote=ClayJ;1496072]These are my notes in my SL55 file on the 030 Package contents:
latest update: from AMG website 05/01/06
Performance Packages Components
SL55
AMG front apron with larger cooling air intakes
19" AMG multi-piece twin-spoke light alloy wheels
(FR 8.5x19 ET 30 255/35R19 RR 9.5x19 ET 31 285/30R19
Vmax increased to 300kmh
Multiple-disc LSD including reinforced final drive unit
AMG Nurburgring sports suspension based on ABC
Internally-ventilated composite front brake discs (380mm x 36mm)
Additional engine oil cooler
AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel in black leather/alcantara
I recently purchased an 07 SL55 with the performance package. Brakes have started to squeal. Is this a common problem? Any suggestions?
