Just picked up an 04 last night
Finally joined the w211 family! My friend convinced me to pump some 100 octane on the way home and well.... the gas light is already on.
more pics later.

thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Its gay bl.... er........ its called tealite blue metallic. Not at the top of my list for favorite colors for sure, but its definitely growing on me. It has pano roof, vented seats, two tone blue/charcoal interior, navi. It was probably ordered to specs. Seller told me this was was originally purchased for the family's nanny to drive the kid. It came with E63 tails and rear spoiler and also came with these MRR 20 in rims with new Nitto NT555 tires which I don't really like, but all my friends tell me look wicked. Best part is the integrated passport radar detector/ laser jammer.

Nice! Way to start a thread! "just picked up" as opposed to the rest of the new clowns around here that are "still looking"
I think that is a nice color! The wheels would look good black!

Congrats. Nice find. IMO, the blue doesn't look bad at all, and the car looks the be nicely optioned.
Shoot me a PM if you decide to unload the wheels. I'd love to put them on my 63 for a season.

This my first car I've owned that actually has a fair amount aftermarket support. Mods will come as soon as I get the car running tip top.
I know! I've averaged about 12mpg and I've had the car for 24 hours.
More pics tomorrow if I get the chance!

I too like it, NICE FIND!
Regading your jammers, what brand? If they are Escort "shifters" ...trust me, don't get too complacent...they are NOT very good...if you can, test them against some guns to validate the effectivness and where you get punch-through (which you will) BEFORE you go right-footing...I know first hand with these...I had them on my Porsche...garbage...NOW, if you have Laser interceptors...Sweet! (still test them for proper placement though...imho)
