My 3rd E55. Full Photoshoot.
I now know that of all the cars that I own, I will always have to have an AMG in my garage. After owning a W211 E55 wagon followed by my W211 Flint Grey E55 (which I believe most of you may know about it) I felt a void not having an E55 in my stable.
I was (and still am) looking for a CLK Black Series and during my search I figured I'd look for another E55 during the progress. So I put a feeler out and Charlie (930Chas) emailed me one day about Tal's (tgoss) E55. Charlie had the car in Maryland and after spending time thinking about it the car was on an enclosed transport to sunny San Diego. During the process and up to this day I've had the opportunity to have a lot of contact with both Charlie and Tal and I'm so happy that this board, as well as the car, has brought us together.
The car came to me and it was perfect. Tal really did an incredible job modding this car. I could have left it as it was, but I have a bit of a problem with "keeping things the way they are" so the day the car came off the transport I started in with adding my own personal touch to the car.
There is a lot more to come with this car (new HRE's are being built as I type, and I have been working with ACG and Kleeman to figure out the next step on the already built engine) and after two months of ownership this is where I'm at with it.
All credit for the photography goes to Spencer Berke. Please follow him on facebook here:
And for continued updates on the car please check out Chapparone Auto Body & Painting on fb here:

Something about this thread makes me want to find the nearest line to Santa's lap and kick every child on the way up as I wish for my E55 to be back in my stocking Xmas morning.

My oh My oh My!!! What an incredibly stunning beauty. I bet you turn a lot of heads. Very nice indeed and done in good taste. Have you done anything different with the interior?

LOL. Still talking ish. I can't wait to have that plate on the back.
No it's stock BBK and Evosport rotors. I just had them painted like Kleemann BBK when I owned the car.
BUT MARK TOOK THIS CAR TO SOME NEXT LEVEL ****!!!!! Well done man. She looks awesome!
