MY'05 E55 Amg
Another Newbie

Hi guys my name is Kabir Bindra and this weekend i just bought my 2005 white on black E55 amg. I've never had a car this powerful before and cant wait to see what this car is capable of. I just love this car.

Just to start i had a few questions i couldnt find already.

1. does MY2005 have a lsd stock? the 2008 e63 has it as an option and i wonder why such a powerful car wouldn't (all m cars have LSD)

2. Is it possible to put in the command from a 2007/08 e class into and 05? i want bluetooth in the car and am trying to find the best option.

3. i didnt need to read the forums to realize the contis are crap. The tires are brand new but what are the best options for replacements in the northeast ( land of rain sleet and snow)

4. Any meets/ events in the ny/nj/ct tristate area other than the one in old westbury?

nice to meet you all. dont mind the plates, i bought the car at a dealer auction with the help of a dealer friend of mine.

nice car...oceanside cars always bring the most money...its outrageous... as far as i know your 05 does not have an LSD....you might be able to do the command system for 07-08 but i dont see it being worth it....get mich ps2's, nitto invo's, or toyo t1r's...

Welcome, if your car came with a phone then all you need is the MHI bluetooth interface, Search will net many posts on the subject.
No LSD, you can get one I think there are 3 manufactures that offer LSDs for the E55, again search.

theres no phone system and i hear itll cost 2g, which is why i think it might be better to upgrade to the command with bluetooth and a builting music hd.

car looks great. as far as tires go, go for the Toyo T1R or the Nitto Invo , PS2s are very good too but cost more
