Wink Hi evryone, i bought a 2005 S55 AMG & need upgrade and mod & care tips
I bought a 2005 S55 AMG after totaling my 03' S500 which was flawless & this new whip is even in better shape and got for a awesome deal from friend who is a dealer. He got at at auction from Fletcher Jones trade in. I'm picking it up this weekend & wanted to know what, spark plugs to use & upgrades to push it to 550 ponies. Filters, pulleys, throttle body, any tips would be awesome. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps subconsciously what you really wanted was an AMG R230 Mercedes, because an R230 forum is where you have ended-up posting this news.
