Good bye AMG :(

Well guys it was a very sad day last thursday for myself. My E55 was picked up and on transport out to the east coast to be delivered to her new owner.



Wanted to say thanks to everyone on this board. Very appreciative to all the knowledge, criticism and kind words provided during the ownership of that car. She will truly be missed and I know her new owner is very happy to have picked her up.

Time for a new project, just bought a brand new 2011 S4 Prestige, Stasis Touring Edition (Stasis exhaust, suspension, wheels and ECU tuned to 410hp). This car will never be the E55. Ever. But... it is very fun to drive, incredibly tight suspension and handling. Throaty exhaust. Extremely comfortable. And it has a full warranty which I never had in the Merc. Only mods are going to be some ADV.1 Goodness, Alcon Brakes, Tint, Escort 9500, and some subs. Just wanted to share with my fam here:



Thanks again to everyone for everything! MBworld is the shiz

Gorgeous new car. I know a few people with new S4's who love them. Enjoy it in good health. I had no idea Stasis made a kit for the new S4! That's awesome.

Congrats on the S4 Tal!

First thing you need to do is get rid that orange reflectors on the headlights and get Euro front bumper strip

I had a lot of experience with tuning and modifying the old 4.2 B6 S4. I loved that car, still miss it sometimes. I think you'll enjoy the S4, especially when your flying up to Eisenhower in the winter. Get some blizzaks on 18's for the winter and u'll really love it.

Thanks man! They make 2 kits, a Touring and a Challenge edition. Best thing is it's all covered under the factory warranty

Its always sad to let go of an AMG, especially one that was as clean as yours. But Its always fun to start on a new project.

Good looking audi man! I'm still pissed you sold it 6 months too late, your car was the most tastefully done e55, I would have bought it in a heartbeat had it been when i was looking for one!

Hope you stick around! You going to global this weekend still? Check yo PMs lol

Ya the E55 was a stunner. The wheels wen't with her and her new owner was very pleased when it was delivered tonight. Hopefully he'll stop lurking and post some delivery pics soon.

Sorry to see the Benz go, but that's a nice replacement. If you don't come back and post pics with the ADV1s on it, there will be hell to pay.

Tal look into the APR product line for the S4. They offer a pulley & tune combo which makes amazing power. Car looks great. I was seriously this | | close to picking up a 6spd white one with sport rear diff and nav when I was getting the 996. The lease was very attractive ...
