2010 BMW 335i, 2006 E55 AMG Estate
[turb0mike] A Formal Introduction

Hey Everyone,

My name is Mike and I have been somewhat creeping around the forums for the last couple of months. I have been a BMW guy for most of my young life and enjoy tracking my 335i (shown below). Recently my 335i had come under some engine problems (blew a motor ) which will be worked out in the future and built up, but at the time I needed something a little bit more reliable than my 190e cossie (which I sold a month or so ago).

With that being said I won an auction for this beautiful 2006 E55 AMG estate. She now has 34k miles on the clock and is in immaculate condition. The car was in a front fender bender as the paint shows sign of orange peel and the HE brackets had broke (found out while installing the CM30 pump). Other than that she is in literally flawless condition. I started out with the CM30 pump and moved onto the wheels... which seem to be a favorite around these parts. Found some pretty mint condition SL65 wheels and had them shipped from Penn to California. They arrived and had some bends on the insides of the barrels but they have been straightened to perfection.

So here are some pictures of 'Layla' and 'Blu' for your enjoyment! BTW, just ordered the E63 front end conversion (with Godhand lip) from Gary today so I'll get pictures of the completed project next week, just wanted to give ya'll a little taste! Also got the facelift headlights with 6k HIDs.

P.S. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics, it was pretty overcast so you can't tell how nice the paint is, haha.
