New E55 Owner here So Cal!

Hello guys,

Been a troller on this forum for quite awhile and just purchased a 2005 E55 AMG. Got a smoking good deal on it because of the Pano roof not working.

Anyways...

Car came with 275/35 18's all around and drives a little weird for my taste. Guess the previous owner found another set of rears for the fronts so I have a 18x9 +39 square setup. Anyone interested in buying these from me?

Just had a full service done on the car and drives amazing.

I did the motor/trans mounts, fluids, brakes, plugs and belts I will do after a pulley upgrade. Is there anything else I should be concerned with other then that. Rear main looks clean and airmatic works perfect with the Programa module that the previous owner installed.




Thanks!

Tony

PM me your email address and I can send you much info on the E55. It was hard-won knowledge on my part...if I can keep one E55 owner from being stuck on the side of the road, it's worth it.

Fuel pumps, fuel filter/regulator, fuel pump relay (hint: it's not located in the rear SAM like the non-AMGs).

Sign up with the EPC so you can ensure you obtain the latest and correct parts for your car.

car feels more neutral handling an much much less under steer with the square tire setup. I just feel like its too much tire for me.
