It's a 2004 with 26K miles:




I put the lowering module and wheels immediately as soon as it got delivered

More mods planned!





Hi, I just love the colour ( mars red ) and I am thinking to repaint my SL65
in that colour. Can you tell me what make, and what size are the wheels,
they go so well together. Thanks.

You now have the perfect garage with the SL55 and F10 BMW. That's exactly what I want.

Did you like your E55 or E60 M5 better?

I love the 55 engine, it might be my favorite engine of all time, but the rest of the e55 didn't blow me away.

On the other hand, I was a bit disappointed in the E60 M5 drivetrain. I thought the SMG was too jerky and the engine didn't have enough torque. But the rest of the car I thought was great.

Regardless, great collection over the years. You know life is good when you can pick apart AMG and M cars. LOL. So spoiled.

After a quick look, I think these are only available in the States.
Can you tell me where you bought them.
Many thanks.

I have seen a SL55 in Mars Red, it was enough to get me going, so I will get
a price, very little under the hood and the trunk to paint.
