E55 transformation arrived yesterday today changes have been made

Almost done with the exterior getting the wheel inserts painted same color as car and star diagnostic down in the front then the fun begins with the engine!!!! Added wheels 20", rear spoiler, rear window spoiler and AMG pedals. I'm gonna cancel my C63 order after I realized how crappy of a ride it has and mod this E55

Beware of luxury motors. Did you check the car out extensively before you bought it?

The truth hurts. I would still check it out throughly. Luxury Motors while suspect will take the car back if you find significant problems.

They are Zenetti's 1 Piece 20" wanted a set of 1 piece as you know 3 piece bend easy. They come with inserts that fit flush between the spokes , those are out getting painted to match the color of the car. Thanks for the compliment.

Congrats on a beautiful E55!

My buddy bought an 04 E55 from Luxury Motors as well for $35k. They definitely have the cheapest prices.

Though I dont agree with the roof spoiler and the rims, i love the trunk spoiler and the color!

Congrats on the new car!!!!

Question: How much did the AMG pedals cost? And ytf dont the stock pedals say AMG on them?!?!?!

And I'm very happy to hear that you're getting this instead of the c63.

Hope you're happy with the car

I should've bought a AMG when I bought my CLS550 but at least I can have fun with this one too and yeah the C63 is kinda disappointing with the harsh ride. I bought the pedals on ebay from a company called redline sport for $65 they are very nice.

No, their rep isn't the greatest. Read some of their reviews here: http://www.dealerrater.com/dealer/Be...-review-16961/

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Regarding infamous "LM".........

I purchased my E55 from them, good price and exactly the options I was looking for - though not a perfect transaction (they conveniently forgot to mention until I was ready to drive away that the car had one key and no front floor mats!)
After I spoke with the GM the following week, they mailed me a set of floormats but refused on the key, I ended up purchasing a new style one.

Still, somewhat surprised people have negative things to say. Joe Abbas has a large inventory and multiple locations...... I will read those reviews on the "dealer-rater" website later........

LM

All dealers have negative comments on that website they also have positive ones too so there isn't a perfect dealer we all know that, but this isn't a thread about the dealership its about my car I was just sharing, I have always thought this forum is good for that and to learn, everyone on here learns from each other in comparison to the other forums I belong to ( A NSX and a BMW one) this is one of the best.

Thank for all the compliments

I'm sure I will be asking for advice once I start the engine mods.

Wheel inserts

Inserts are painted gives me the freedom of changing the look
