Nice Estate -
Great approuch also - Just watch and read for a while then pull the trigger on a nice ride.
And you have a game plan to do some mods.
Good Luck, and enjoy

Great way to make a entrance! Love the 2500HD and your other rides
There was a board member (C55asleep?)here who had a C55 with 50 shot/cams/headers/kleeman tune and he traded it in for a Sierra2500HD in 2007. This is his ride here which i borrow from time to time. This 2500HD has a twin compound turbo with a huge intercooler up front. It runs 12's flat. It's pretty nice.

Here's one of me messing around on the freeway, note the extremely low EGTs with the TT setup. Turn the sound up for turbo whine!

Hey everyone... Kevin here, lurked for 4 years until I finally found a AMG Estate... I originally wanted a E63 Wagon, but warmed up to the idea of the 55, mostly from all of the great knowledge here. (again, with the lurking)
Just sold my Duramax TT, 650bhp/1200trq. It was just too big to roll around every day. Was a super fun truck, ran high 12's.
Currently DD'ing this little TDI Golf, it's pretty stock, and gets 40+ MPG
also, this was my old Volvo, so I've had an affinity for wagons for some time now.
Autotrader didn't have much in the way of wagons nationally, and as luck would have it, I finally found one right here on the forums actually, so I didn't walk, I ran.
On to the AMG.
Pretty much has all the options I think (still learning). Drove it home last night. 05, 65K Miles, 19" HRE's, (needs rear tires STAT!) Has a handbuilt 3" X-Pipe Exhaust, using the stock tailpipes.
Sounds great, drives great, looks great. Thanks for all the help, and I'll be trying to give back some help as I learn more.
--- I think we need a paddle shifter smiley.

Here you go Kevin.....
Let me know if you can find a hi-res version of this pic.... I believe this was out of Motor Trend or Car & Driver....
