Put about 2500 miles since picking her up in Orlando and back to NYC.
The car is Flint Gray but look blue in every picture I have taken.
This weekend I am doing the 60k service myself but will take it in for the transmission fluid service.

I love the M5 forum and so far this forum has been a wealth of information for me to snack on. I was on (amgforums.org no one will replay to anything on there)

BTW I did that ECU reset this morning key on gas to floor for 5 sec and key off but still in the switch... WOW....

I am looking for the pass side headrest button dealer will only sell the complete switch...so I am on ebay looking....

Would like to Wax it before winter...let me know what you guys are using both inside and out.

Welcome, congrats, and absolutely sunning car!!! :y

Very nice looking car.

super nice and welcome, got long tubes:)

Beautiful car. The ride up from Orlando must have been a blast, although maybe a bit long. No tickets I trust.

Very clean ride...welcome to the Torque Club...once you get a taste you may want some more...:v:

No Tickets...stop and visit friend along the way back
 

I did however had to get 2 new front tires.. The inside were down to wires. The outer was like new. I have 2 new tires on and everything seem good again. But I am told its a common problem for the inside to wear off.I drive the car in the lower ride height position and shock on number 1 setting.

Car is 100% stock (that I know ) and I installed the AMG flat badge I bought from a member.

I bought my SL from a guy in Ohio. On the way home, I was cruising along I74 at about 60 and decided it was time for a little WOT. I was shocked at how fast she went from 60 to about 110. About five minutes later, Indiana's finest is up my ass. He asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I was afraid to tell him I did. After carefully checking out all of my paperwork, he told me to slow it down and left. I never did know where he came from. I'm guessing he had no way of establishing my speed or he would have nailed me. A friend of mine thinks they saw me on a freeway cam.

Congrats on the new car. I love Flint Grey. :y Glad you made the trip without incident.

Flint Grey FTW

You have yourself a nice color. It must have been a cool ride from FL in the MB, I did the same trip earlier this year in a Escalade, you have to be carefull not to go too fast (or least not get caught).

Welcome to the AMG family.

Getting OLD moved from ultimate driving machine to MB ?

Good looking car, congrats :y

Nice purchase!

Congrads and welcome!!!!!!

Congrats on a beautiful car :y

Great lookin ride! Congrats! :y

Congrats! :)

Did you notice the wheels are different from the OEM one came with the AMG?

In fact, I would rather to have this instead of the OEM one, but with the exception of Performance pack wheels...

Very nice car.

I'm a recent BMW to MB switcher too. So far, no complaints. I think that generally, the BMW cars I've owned have handled a bit tighter, but the fit, finish and luxury on the MB blows the BMW product away.

BTW, I guess you must be proof that the ECU reset works on the e63 cars? For some reason, i thought i read in the "Sneaky ECU" thread that it didnt work for e63 cars. Hmmmmm.....

Very Nice, I was never a Fan of the E63, thats not until I saw your car. Very nice may consider one in two years.

Looks great! And you and I had the same builder on our engines as well. :-)

sunil - nice ride! My wagon has the same color interior. :y



I've gone back and forth between some of the German brands. My wife went from an R230 SL500 to a 650 vert and prefers the 650. It's all subjective, but I prefer the BMW interiors to MB.

I wish Audi and BMW brought their uber-wagons to the US. It would give us wagon nerds more choices :rolf:

If they had been imported, I'd be rockin' an RS6 Avant right now instead of the E55. :bow:

Beautiful car! What model are those wheels off of? Because they are not stock E63 wheels. They look great!

nice purchase and sure you enjoyed the ride back!
