sweet... drool....

i like the black paint and black wheels.... sweet...

 

very nice, definitely need a drop but i would still take this one any day the wheels aren't the best for the car though i think

and man, 36 miles and he's already pushing the car? i thought there is break in period for these cars

 

what a beautiful car. Black on black is perfect

 

BEAUTIFUL car... NEEDS a drop, and is it me or do those rims look to small

 

yeah but I think its few factors playing into that. The lips on these wheels are that big (3" or less out back), so that cuts down on the perceived size. its sitting up really high, and its a big car! When he pulled up to me that first day, he had already ordered his wheels, just MHO, lips that small on a car that big is not exactly beneficial.

yeah man, it was sunset, so the sun was actually beside me rather than behind, which gave the pics too much "brightness". I will get better pics after the drop.

Thats the point i was trying to make!!!! I could not get near him and he was not even giving it half throttle!!! The power of these motors are just plain insane. During my test-ride, we were merging on the highway at part throttle (no kickdown), and the sheer torque of the motor could be felt as the accelerated to 100mph +. And this was leisurely acceleration!!

Does ANYONE want to buy me one of these??? I promise, I will turn it into something EVEN MORE special (with AT LEAST a 3.5" rear lip )

 

that's coz' the car is so big and also there is no drop

 

Dont they have an air susp.? Some dealers will fool around w/ the electronics to actually lower the car more than the factory setting. Pretty easy to do but not cheap.

I'de like a 04 CL 55 w/ 8 series HRE's. Or mabye the wald forged series.

 

another car i need for my stable... the list just keeps growing

 

i thought the air suspension is only on s600. could be wrong though, never got the luxury to read those options on the s class

 

Theres semi air and real air suspestion

Uhhh

AIrmatic vs ABC

out of all the W220's only s55 and s6+ have abc standard
abc rocks

 

ABC is the one that has steel springs and air adjustment for the shocks correct? The lowering modules are very pricey! Brabus unit is about 1800 or so!

 

no springs all air i believe

lowering modules are *****

Amazing thread on the lowering modules for mercedes cars, im partial to the kleemann one

sorry if im incoherent, no sleep for a long time and i'm kinda tipsy.

if you IM me somehow i'll show you a video of the three stages of the ABC setting going up and down on a r230

 

2-3 years they can be picked up for round 65-70k..maybe even less w/ higher miles...if they still run w/ higher miles

 

Dont like the rims at all... My neighbor has a S55 in black and his car looks SOOOOOO much better with the stock rims. Some nice chrome rims would really do the car justice!! Oh and yea.. its a BEAST.
