New Wagon owner

I just got a 2008 E63 Wagon with 32k on it. I just purchased eurocharged for my C230 and going to get it for the wagon if they are still having their sale. Getting some green air filters. What's the best way and cheapest way to lower it down?

Cool Typhoon, I have a 1991 GMC Syclone with 17800 miles. It is 100% original and stock. I actually just sold it and it is getting picked up early this week. I loved it but just never used it much bc it is very small for me.

I had 2 TY's in 1999 and got rid of them about 5 years later. I got the itch again and found this one about 2 years ago. It sits in the garage most of the time but I try to drive it on the weekends. I wanted a SY but couldn't find the right one. This feel in my lap and couldn't pass it up.

I sold it for $18000...I thought it was a little less then it was worth but what the heck...I have way too many cars so I needed to get rid of some of my personal cars, but I just bought another, a 1955 chevy pickup series one with the three rear windows. If I knew how to download pics I would put one up of the Syclone and the '55 but I am brain dead when it comes to that! lol

By the way, the wagon is awesome. I am obviously a wagon guy '60nomad' and if I could make good use out of a wagon then I would be looking for one. Good luck with the new ride!

Thanks. We had an 06 CLS 55 when it came out and from there the wife said she would not drive a non AMG. Took some convincing to let me buy the C230 coupe as a daily driver.

I couldn't help but notice your profile says you are in SD and the cars plates are from Texas. Are you actually in TX or is that the sellers pics? Either way, Congrats on the purchase! For lowering, I went with a control module made by Programa that I bought off of another forum member here. I prefer the adjustability with the remote vs. having to adjust links when you want a change.
