Beautiful, I love your car! Tastefully done...

What are the specs on your wheels? Spacers?

Thank you Sir!
19.8.5F with 5MM spacer
19x10R with 5MM spacer
I had some left over tires that I took off another set of wheels
235/35
265/30
will probably get 245F and 275R down the road.

Very cleanly done, so much better with silver emblems! If you need any performance parts for it shoot us an email/PM.

Congrats!

I like the drop. I have never really been a huge fan of the wheels but I actually do like them on your car. Nice work.

Thats a great looking car. Never cared for the red interior but it actually looks pretty good on a black car. The silver with red interior I saw looked dumb, the white with red also looked pretty weak. This aint too bad. Love the rims also!

The gold emblems actually aren't that bad (compared to say on a Camry).

Like the new look and wheels, though. The red interior is super rare.

That's f****ng gorgeous. Man I wish I could get the ***** to just pick up a W210 E55 as a second car. I just don't think I have it in me to keep up with the potential Reliability, repairs, M-B Maintenance (would need to put high mileage on it), etc.

But I can drool all I want.

I usually hate black, but this is perfect. I also usually hate aftermarket wheels on an AMG, but those look beautiful. As well, great changes with the mods you did, and that red interior is HOT!!

Really? are they that unreliable? With that said, I know how you feel, jumped ship from ///M long time ago to ///AMG, never looked back (except in rear view mirror of course )

Very nice. What are the suspension mods, and how does it ride (handling, comfort vs. stock)?

No difference feels like stock. Lowered on Vogtland lowering springs.
