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
Yes I do have the black cls55...I work right down the street from the rye town Hilton. I used to have a guards red '02 ruf r turbo 550, I loved that car. Let's meet up sometime. Happy New Year
Very cool. Definitely. HNY to you too. Ruf R's are sex... wow, very nice. 2WD conversion?

I would have or would paintmatch that chrome trim. I did mine, and it was one of the best mods I did...
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!

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
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.

Oh, imola red is hella sexy too. Mad props for been different.
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.

And the pic of the 996 with the graveyard is just awesome.
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.

But it does look great. Congrats.
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.

I've seen enough white AMG's.
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
I like it!!!!!!!! That blue was always my favorite color on any M, always curious what a MB would look like with it. . .Great job. . .I personally say keep the 55 tail lights - I think the 63 tail lights look too much like a camry's. . .just saying. . .
2002-2004 camry
2007-2009 E63
+1 never liked the E63 tail light. When i do my 63 conversion, I will keep my 55 tail light.
