Just got my E55

I'm baaaaaack 😁

Just picked up this E55 on Sunday. I got rid of my SC300 with a Supra swap and came back to the MBWorld. Used to have a w208 which was totaled a few years back and I tried my luck with a few other makes n models but I missed my Benz too much. Decided to go 4 door this time and a little newer. It's pretty clean...couple nicks here n there nothing that's gonna take a lot of time or $ to clean up. Has a 77mm pulley, front mount, Bosch 010 pump, and Eurocharged tune on straight pipes (I plan to add mufflers ASAP):













1st thing I need to find out is what wiring kit/dash harness to use so I can swap out this tape deck. I've been searching and haven't figured it out yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The factory speakers sound like they're blown so I might as well change out the whole audio system to something with Bluetooth and USB.

2nd thing is the wheels...gotta go! Need something more up to date!

Well I'm just glad to be back to my roots!

Welcome back! I am a boomerang too!

I noticed the mufflers were not stock and was curious on the set-up.

Also, not trying to sell you but I have a set of OEM stock dual/quad tips with the factory mufflers in tact and factory resonator if you are interested as I replaced them with C63 set up (didn't like it right away, now love it)...

PM me if interested.
