You’ll probably find that the hubs are the same just the backplates, discs and callipers will be different to accommodate which model you have. Doesn’t bother me seeing a small section of the backplate as it stops you being able to see the top arms behind making it look a bit neater. I always...

Just to clarify this. I purchased 2x rear back plates for an e55 from febi bilstein at £32 a corner Due to the e63 rear plates no longer being available these fit perfectly minus a nick top and bottom for the caliper to fit in as the e63 caliper fouls slightly on the plate. I cut a section of...

Can anyone shed any light if the E55 plate will fit the e63? according to mercedes the e63 ones are no longer available and upon checking the rear disc part no.s they seem to be the same all be it the rears on the 55 seem to only have one part no. leading me to believe they arent drilled/sided...

Hi mate, have you any idea what the part no. Is it which engine manifold this comes from? Cheers

Hi guys, It’s been a while since Iv posted her but Iv ran into a little issue that seems to be a big expense. So I have stripped down my m156 and replaced the head bolts, head gaskets, valve tappets, timing and oil pump chains and guides and various other gaskets and stuff whilst in the area...

Thank you all 😎

So ever since Iv had my w211 my boot lining has always sagged into the spare wheel well with weight on it and to be honest it’s really doing my nut in now so clearly I must be missing something wether it be a trim or some sort of support to hold it flat and flush Can anyone elaborate what I may...

In the real world you wouldn’t as you would have to do some modifications to make it do so. I plan on leaving mine stock. It depends what you want from each car. I wanted the better styling and the option of anything other than silver. Most e55’s are silver where as Iv been able to pick a few...

Sorry yes I bought the car, Iv replaced the cam adjuster plates and it has had the oil and filter changed. I’m planning on doing the head bolts as part of good practice along with the cam buckets and I’m going to fit a timing chain if upon inspection there’s any wear on the guides.

i torqued then to about 25nm, there was rumour of it being 18 but after seeing tachos video i went with his spec along with a dab of loctite on each bolt so they can't come loose and let them sit overnight before refitting so they have time to dry properly. if you haven't done timing etc before...

Nice one lads glad to see people getting the benefit out the plates, so far so good mine are ok. im currently collecting parts to do the headbolts as they are a problem from 06-10 or 11 so mine defo falls into that category so far I have all genuine cam cover gaskets, oil filter and housing...

It does not have a reversing camera, I could grab a photo tomorrow to confirm
