2005 E55
2005 E55 new to me. Benzmac is BACK!

Just brought home my 05 E55 i have been dreaming of since I built one with all Kleemann mods back in 04. The car was sick and was totaled within 1 week of the build by the CHILd that owned and paid me to build it!

Car is 57k miles. Loaded and Flint Grey! I inspected the car today and it has a pulley upgrade on it.

Within 2 months will have supercharger removed and twin turbos installed. Watch and see!

Would'nt it be easier to pick up a CL600 and mod it or do you just like the W211 Body?
