'06 E55 AMG
Finally found me an E55

After looking at 8 different cars and driving some 1,800 miles, I finally found the one I wanted. Picked up an '06 in Flint Gray, 55K miles, with Keyless Go, Dynamic seats, and Lighting package. All factory paint, interior in brand new condition, and bone stock.

It has the Graphite Designo Edition interior package. I didn't care for the tone of the wood in pics, but when I saw it in person, it really worked. I am having a tough time finding info on this package...

I really love this car!

Nice find - I did the same thing when I went looking for mine, and if you take your time you weed out the crappy ones.

Enjoy the new ride.

The first mods I started with were cosmetic, like tints, led licence plate bulbs, clear markers, gas and brake pedle covers etc. I'm just pulling together all the "go fast" goodies right now.

DVC , congrats .. really nice car .. if I am not mistaken , is that the one from Orlando FL ?
if it is the same one , you must have beat me to it , I almost bought that one . Drive it in good health , and look the other Flint grey ones in the forum , there is modded Flint gray one which I think is the nicest color W211 I have seen. Cheers

Max, that's the one! Thank you for the kind words!

Seeing the great Flints on the forum made me want one.

Regards

Thanks guys!

I will get some pics of the interior.

Does anybody know the best place to buy the 010 I/C pump? Is it a bolt-in with no mods to the harness?

I just bought one on ebay for $130 shipped. Arrived last week and confirmed new in Bosch box with correct part number. I think seller was autolampsplus but there may be others.
