BMW 760li ACS, BMW 745i (for sale)
Time for a Mercedes...got to get the best...
Hi guys..and gals as it may be...
I would like to get a SL55 or SL65 within a few months or so and am having some trouble deciding which to go between. I drive a BMW 760li with full ACS package, (including beautiful sounding pipes) and tons of interior goodies and I have a 745i in Florida. (I entertain a lot) but that is currently for sale and am wanting a convert that is bad ***. I'm a big BMW fan...and a avid member of DTMPOWER.net, but I think a SL would fit the bill nicely. Please give opinions on...
1. Do ya take a SL55 now or order up a SL65, and is their a huge difference in the new 65?
2. Has there been any gripes...especially performance wise with understeer/oversteer and what not...I drive faster than most and feel very comfy at 120mph with the 7's.
3. Pictures of your ride would be excellent...no two SL's look alike and I want ideas...
Thanks So Much

Here is a photo of our 2003 Carlsson SL55. It is black opal and has the panorama roof. Carlsson front spoiler is currently being painted and mounted and the supercharger/ECU upgrades are next. It already has Carlsson sport exhaust with polished tips, rear decklid spoiler, Carlsson UltraLight wheels (9.5X20F and 11X20R), Carlsson electronic suspension lowering module, Carlsson illuminated doorsills. It's definitely a head-turner and may be for sale. I am currently in the process of opening a high-end vehicle customization center in downtown Chicago and we will be offering cars such as this in our showroom. This was meant to be showcased at the grand opening but it's generating a lot of interest.
