Finally a BMW M colour thats worth putting on an AMG.

Your Beast looks pretty now. You probably the only one I know of in the world with that colour E55K. So she is rare now.

That's a Seasons Greetings to all E55K's. Hee Haa Interlagos

Nice color but I think I would have gone with something more rare if I were going to redo the whole car and ruin the resell value. Either way it looks good

I like it. My only suggestion would be to ditch all the chrome for satin black.

But it does look great. Congrats.

Love Interlagos Blue, amazing color. Your car will be truly unique.

I've seen enough white AMG's.

Very good suggestion. My brother doesn't really like the chrome either. Have any large pics of your car with it painted. The pics I could find of your car did look great though.

I remember when I lived up in Princeton and had to drive into the City quite a bit how large some of those grave sites are. !!!
I know dupont is coming out with some pretty cool paints so it will be interesting to see how the mfg's react.
Have a great New Year and be careful in those parking garages !!!!
Seriously incredible how big the cemeteries are in the city. HNY as well!

Thanks man. Its a little weird to have an M color on an AMG but we definitely love it. The biggest thing was about being different. Pretty hard to be any more than this.

Thanks nova. Must be nice to have 2 W211s in the driveway.

LSB is a really sexy color but its hard for larger cars to pull it off. I've seen an E39 painted in it, looked terrible. My little brother has a Z3 M Coupe in LSB though, love that thing. Imola is nice too, my brother (E55) was considering Mars Red which I think could have been crazy looking too.

The gold is really bright which is nice but I totally get the STi comments, I said the same thing to tease him lol.
Thanks!

Resale value wasn't really important. These high-end cars devalue so quickly and since he wanted to keep it for a few more years it just made sense. We went through so many different swatches but a lot of the exotic colors were a little too bright or some even indistinguishable. I think in the end it was still a good choice.

Thank you. We are really considering paint-matching now because of the suggestion from before. We did think of satin black with a satin black grill but then we would more than likely need black wheels.

Lol thanks. I really liked white myself but this color looks amazing in person as well.

white looks dope on almost any AMG ..
that Blue looks pimp tho too .. really pops .. I think the chrome trim delete would look great as long as the grill and other chrome stuff gets hit too . and maybe matching wheels in black and tinted tailed ..
still that b*tch pops .. P-ride is INSanE love the custom painted interior

Why didnt your brother vinyl wrap the car? If it was actually painted thats going to kill any resale value for a LONG time.

In 20+ years the original options on the car is what will be wanted for increased resale value. Almost all classic Benz buyers want a clean stock car.

Looks very young and not bad, personally would have kept the white or done it as a Vinyl wrap for something fun and not forever.

In the end what do I know, I bought a E63 when everyone here says you should buy an E55. To each his own, enjoy in good health!

I like the color of the car in the photo of the paint being buffed out. A little darker with just enough metallic.

In the other photoshop pics, the blue is a little too bright for me.

Car free at the moment
With the repaint, how do the door jams, underhood, underside of the trunk lid, etc. look? How much of the car is still white?
