AMG experts: What color is this?
What color is this? I don't think it's flint grey. I have not seen this dark of a grey and i like it. The car is an 04 with 36K miles. One owner, Texas only car and non smoker. The dealership wants $29K.
Help me out experts, what do you think?

Damn, is that what they're selling for?
I'd sell my 04 tectite E55 w/ 45k miles (EVERY option except distronic) and 2 years left on CPO for $35k. Maybe. Probably not. I love it too much to sell it for 35k.

Seems like a good price for that mileage. Definitely considering its from a dealer. Where at in Houston? I'm not going to buy it, I'm happy with my baby, but I'd wouldn't mind taking a gander just cuz. Maybe I can spot something for you.

Are buying your 55K from a MB dealer? If so they can supply the build sheet (window sticker) that shows all the information regarding this car. You can also call MB USA and ask for the build sheet. That's a very nice price especially if you can convince them to throw in extended warranty.

No X50, K16 car. It runs so well, it's sad to part with it actually. I put 2 cars on a brand new 997 last Sunday from a 60mph punch. WEEEE!!!!
Good call on the build sheet. I will ask!

I bought my 04 X50 Cab for $54K a year ago. Mods don't return their value. No way it is worth anything close to that.
That said, it's all in the eyes of a buyer. Good luck.

Distronic
Pano Roof
Parktronic
Navigation
WTF is distronic? Would you miss it?

The Pano is the double sunroof that look reall cool.
Since it is an 04 it has the nav screen so you can buy the trunk unit for @$400 and it is plug and play!

The disctronic is the annoying cruise control radar that is worthless. Parktronic is good if you have no clue how to park.

The ONLY thing that i would miss would be the Pano Sunroof. I already know how to park, cruise and navigate
![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
$400 for the Navi trunk unit sounds tempting. I assume i would buy it from the dealership?
I just made a offer on the car. Stand by....

Pulley/ECU (who should i use? I did all my 996TT upgrades. Can i handle this install?)
I will try to get this done all at once while i still have the 335i so i can drive it around. 335i w/tune is a great car. Too bad it's small
