I've left my E63 in the garage without starting it for over a month at a time before and didn't have any issues because of it.

Indeed...

Kilimunati - Sweet looking setup man, I've always loved the bronze/gold rims. Thanks for the tip on the wheel sizes as well, I'm hoping those are the size of my rims but am not sure how to check. The tires that came with the car are very similar in size to yours, only difference is the rears are 265 so maybe the rears are only 9 inches wide ?

Jbaker - hey man thanks for that info ! I was actually going to go to the manhattan dealer since its the closest but from reading up on different reviews and such I think I'm better off sticking to the one near my parents house in NJ. Wise of you to keep your ride's out of the city, I do feel I am doing them a disservice by keeping them here but I just put the AMG in monthly, indoor storage so well see how it goes. Hopefully indoor storage will give me a bit more leeway so I wont have to drive it everyday.

Thanks! i actually spoke to the place i got my wheels and the offsets are +28 front, +35 rear. Have you had the wheels off? i'm thinking the width would be stamped on the inside.

oh and regarding letting the car sit - i left mine for 17-18 days last summer when i went on vacation and when i went to start it, it fired up as if i had just run into the store.

Not yet unfortunately, I did however put new rotors on the front along with new pads all around plus an oil change and the car runs far smoother. It had a weird brake noise that is now gone but I still have couple more things from FCP Euro that I need to install before I can start modifying the car without worries. I am thinking it needs some engine mounts and also when I went to get an alignment, the guy basically said that I had a bent part but couldn't tell me what it was. Would a bent or used ball joint cause uneven steering ? When I drive straight the wheel is cocked left slightly about 30 degrees or so, but all the tires look fine........
