Hi,
After a month of looking around I found a pristine condition black on black 2005 E55. Just 40,471 miles.
Today's picture:
I bought the car last Friday. Didnt use it on Saturday, ready to be used today.
Wents to my dad house to show him the beast (80 miles away)... And:
The Airlift try to get back and phssssssss.
Lovely fender!

Wow, sorry that happened. Arnott carries reliable OEM replacements with a lifetime warranty. Did you get an extended warranty on the car? If you didn't, it's probably not too late. Most aftermarket warranties will still cover you up to 60 day after purchase date.
On a side note, if you need a stock airmatic system, I'm selling mine.

Welcome, finally someone from PR on this board. Sucks what happened, I hope it doesn't discourage you though. Hope the dealer pays for it as well, they have to as per PR law. Looks like the tire hit the fender as well...ouch.
Anyways, I hope you get her back asap and start destroying the non-believers.

Yes, the F wheel hit the fender. Tomorrow the car will be towed to the dealer. As GT-ER said, lemon law covers used car here as well.

Thanks to all! Hope they fix it soon. I really likes the car. Just imagine the face of my family! Starting with my wife lol! Was likes "this is not the supercar you was telling about?"
Moose, I'm Puerto Rico (PR),due to the mileage; the dealer provides warranty for 3months/3k miles.

That's a beautiful car and I hope the dealer takes care of the airmatic failure in a timely manner. Have you filled up the gas tank? If you do, and you smell gas a little bit later, please be careful as the fuel pump may be leaking.

Filled 3/4 ($50)... At least no gas smell. Also I noticed the AC condensation is a lot. Well the rear AC just blow heat. GR-ER already told me about the changeover valve DIY!

As for the suspension, I had the same dilemma. When my rear airsprings went out I thought about going to regular springs but I love airmatic too much ( and I used to be an airmatic hater ). My car is lowered and the roads down here are horrid...airmatic was built for PR....lol.
If you have any problems with warranty, here are the struts:

Car is at the dealer right now. They are looking if there are any warranty left with MB. I know there is not cause the ext. warranty finished on 2011. Just break pump and airbags still on warranty until 2014. They will fix it. They already told me. The issue is when!
For those who ask about the black front:
I will eliminate the black trim on the headlight. Looks horrible. A $100K+ car with ebay cheap stuff sux!
Thanks GT-ER. At those prices Im willing to change all at the same time.

The carfax shows up to 2009. I know the owner dont use it a lot. Obiously gas price sux too. I think the headlight trim was applied with 3M. Goo Gone can be used?

Hmmm...depends how long they've been there. Lift a small portion to see how the glue is. Goo Gone shouldn't be a problem.
