Well I did not go with the 2006 e55 amg in Tempe. There were to many questions and it hardly had any options. I went with this 550i instead loaded sport model with cpo wrrnty and maint. package. Yes its a tad slower than most amgs and the m series, but is a hell of a lot of fun to drive. I did have my first problem though, a nail in a run flat tire. 575.00 to relplace for exact replacement tire.Ouch! I still love this car its like my old 540i but better. Anyway you might beat me to the light but I wont care as much this time, I wont be far behind! I dont have my own pics yet.

So you bought an inferior car because of a warranty?

Probably a good call if you're the type to pay $575 to replace a tire.

LOL dumbass bought a beater junker.

iAMGod

I would rather walk.....haha just kidding.







But seriously I would.

A tad slower?!?!? I'm with ^

OMG I almost sold my car to a guy that drove a 550 for 26 grand.I wish I had his texts for the 3 days on how my cars power and handling blew him away.

LOL if you were to drive my car your would sell that pos in a heart beat.Im so glad the guy backed out on my car,after putting the new wheels on and lowering it I fell in love with it again.

running 11.3s is just a bonus

You paid 575 for a tire? you could of bought 2 brand new pilot super sports shipped installed and ballanced with enough to fill your tank after at that price.

WTF...I leave MBWorld for a few days and people went nuts. The 550i is not a bad ride, but I would rather have a CLS500/550 or E550 before I bought one. AMG's and an 550i should not even be mentioned in the same sentence. That is a sin isn't it?

The 550 is a nice car, but it's not just a tad slower...it's HUGELY slower. Also, $575 for a tire?

det42phx

I did not say I paid 575.00 I said thats what they want. The tire is still driveable and Im trying to get dealership to repair. I said I found a nail in it. You guys do the same thing to someone who buys an amg and complains about 1500.00 shocks, that amg had 5 owners and valve gasket problems twice, fixed one shock under warranty, so other ones are probably about to go too. So to all the haters, listen to cee-lo!

GT-ER

Actually, you said:

Which for most implied that you bought the tire for that much.

Also, I almost bought a 550 before I got the E55. Not hate from me here, I love the 550. It's just VERY slow in comparison to the E55 ( although not slow in general ). You say it's a TAD slower but the difference is GIGANTIC. It has 100+hp more.

Also, who buys $1500 shocks for their AMG? I sure don't...lol.

E55Dimon

Why would you post that here, what'd you expect? Congrats on the purchase and all but you won't find support here. Sounds like you didn't want an e55 enough and should've looked around. 550 is cool and all but no comparison to the beasts that lurk in this forum.
Now...the M5..... LoL..

jmb614

Who is this 'Cee-lo', and what does he do?

bobgodd

Would it kill any of you to show a bit of class?! So he didn't get an E55, who cares. He obviously had the choice and picked somethign else. There are a lot of hard working Americans that would never dream they could own either of those two cars so quit acting like a bunch of *****s because he bought a lowly 550.

taurran

Yet for some reason he found it necessary to make this post on an E55 forum? What does he expect?

skratch77

He came here to tell us he bought another bmer.If I were to go post this same thread on M5 board I would get banned by gustuv in about 5 seconds for trolling.

There are plenty of clean 06 55s out there in his price range and if he wanted one he could of easily bought one with a warranty.

bobgodd

Right. And this comment was nice and rational.

But calling him a dumba... and the car a POS just makes this board look like a bunch of immature clowns.

skratch77

Because we all know that he was never going to buy an e55.this post is nothing but a troll trying to show us his new 550.

Why would he post this in here?I never even knew he was looking for an E55,its not like people know him here.

Let me go start a thread on M5 board saying.... Sorry guys the M5 was nice but it had problems with the SMG and it needed 1500 to fix it and in the car fax it said it was in the shop 4x for SMG problems.I ended up gettnig the E55 and the M5 is way slower anyway.

Ohh and the E55 needs new tires because its so fast,but just wanted to let everyone know that I got an E55.

taurran

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the internet. Get used to it.

bobgodd

I'd like to take this opportunity to add you to the list of immature clowns.

I've been on this forum for a while and I am probably considered a n00b by some of the older members here, but a few years ago, members here were a lot more respectful.

HeissRod

Honest question to the original poster.....why tell us?

And my Jeep would rape your 550 while my E55 raped my Jeep.

dychen

Check the thread with their respective ages. This is typically what happens when used cars become more affordable. You draw a younger crowd, which inevitably leads to immaturity on forums like this one.

bobgodd

I already took that into consideration but I didn't want to comment on that as I am still in my 20s as well.

What I don't think people realize is that this kind of behavior turns away users, new and existing. There is a lot of information on these cars here on this forum, and it would not be here without the members. There are people who would be put-off by this sort of content, and will stop contributing to the knowledge pool that all of us stand to benefit from.

taurran

Oh darn. You sure told me.

taurran

As does your kind of behavior. You're probably too dense to realize you're just exacerbating this issue with your posts. The funniest part about this, is your sudden crusade against "clowns" is making you look like one.
