wow my poor car's been used and abused compared to most...170k miles and it's always been my daily, the best one yet.

Major issues:
- one rear driver airmatic shock replaced (knock on wood for the others)
- Fuel pump/sender replaced @ 125kmiles
- exhaust leak in passenger header
- heated/cooled seats stopped working about 40k miles ago, never used them anways
- Headlight module on passenger side failed


and that's about it. I've been lucky with this gem of a car and I've done all maintenance and repairs myself aside from the headlight module.


Still cracks high 11's in the 1/4 mile Cheers!

E55 daily. Nearly 130k miles gets snow duty and salty roads. Meant to be enjoyed. It has been costly thus far to maintain
