Here's the autotrader ad, not sure how long till its deleted.

03 With 51K miles. Believe its a later build as it does have the ceramic paint code. How can I tell if I still have the crappy radiator?





Now as far as options I know I have the pano roof with the solar panel, and I have distronic that is awesome if I do say so myself, and possible the Xenon headlights, and a 6 disc CD Changer but not sure if that was optional or standard?

The buttons all around the shifters, I got the one to raise and lower the car, but what exactly is the one with the shock with the arrows around it with 2 red lights, also what exactly does the E C/M button do? I figured out the distronic distance adjuster wheel, but the button just about that with the horn. Does that mean something will beep or make noise if I get too close to someone while that button is on? Also I believe I have the Xenon lights, when the lights are on all the way manually, I can pull the knob out and the first click the fog lights come on, whats the second click do?

Sorry about the basic Q's but I didn't get the manual and trying to figure this thing out. This car is just plain amazing though. Even without some of the other options this thing is full of toys for me coming from chevy's. lol

I don't think that car has xenons. The lighting package has the headlight cleaners under the lights which I don't see in the pics.

MRAMG1

Good eye my friend. I had to go to the add to see it

So YES, NO xenons.

Well I guess I just have 2 options then and I will need to shop for some HID's. If I just toss in some HID bulbs will the pattern be all screwed up?

Congratulations!
First pull detent on light switch is front fog light, the second detent is rear fog light and that is one bright red tail lamp on drivers side.
It looks like you have the halogen headlights, but there is hope.

Front pads were shot when it was traded in too it seems, they threw on new pads and the rust rings are gone now. They just slapped new pads on the old rotors though which I wasn't too pleased about. The price ended up being pretty good and it was pretty close to me so I ended up biting on it due to the low mileage.

And you can view the manual for the car from MBUSA:

http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalA...tic_sedans.pdf

They didn't have an 03 E55 manual, but no difference in manuals between 03 and 04.

BBBSS

You guys rock.

Dealer called they found the manual, some paperwork, and the second key. Mailing it out to me.

I could have sworn he had it last night when I first looked at the car, then this morning when I bought it he didn't, now suddenly he does again. Nice older guy, but I think he's doing the used car salesman thing to get by for a bit till he's old enough to retire for good.

Bramage

Oh My God.. You got this: 910 DYNAMO WITH HIGHER CAPACITY (FFO)

I wish my Dynamo was high capacity!!

In terms of middle button (Shock with 2 lights), that is the suspention setting

no lights = Comfort
1 Light = Suspention Setting a little stiffer
2 Light = Stiffest

It should show in display whay setting you selecetd (for a moment)

ENJOY!!!!

Pewter FTW.. Fastest color out there if you didnt know

gaspam

nice find!

get some HID's and you will be amazed and easy install... got mine from DDM tuning for like $60 and was night and day over stock lights

I also did HID fogs in 3000K color and kits is basically same as the headlight kit

AKnight55

Got mine from DDM too.. Went with 6000k low beams and fogs.. Really under rated mod if you ask me.. Only PITA is having to take off the front bumper.

gaspam

def underrated mod... I drive from florida to nashville 2 times a month and the HIDs made the long night drive so much more enjoyable!

But i didnt have to take off bumper to install the HID headlights or fogs. just had to remove the air intake tubes for the headlights and for the fogs just had to jackup the front and remove the windskirt underneath the car
