Just got a 05 E55 :)

Hello everyone, finally got my dream car as I have been a MB tech since 04. Just under 90,000 miles and got a hell of a deal. Of course it needs work but I'll get there on my free time. I wanted to see if it looked familer to anyone on here. The roof was painted black and all the chrome was blacked out as well. It lived most of its live in NYC then it went to Virginia then back to NJ. It had a fuse diagram printed out off of MB world so i figured i give it a shot.

One can never go wrong with buying an E55 AMG. As the engine and transmissions are bulletproof.

I replaced the valve cover gaskets and are amazed on how clean the inside of the engine it. It looks like it has 10k! The transmission not so much. Shift adaptations are high and there was alot of metal in the pan Its gonna need a rebuild down the road doesn't shift terrible at the moment.

Not a Hugh fan of them but thank you. I would like to try and find some 65 wheels without spending an arm and a leg.
