    Cls55 or c63 back boxes.

    I had a short test drive in an E55K with C63 back boxes. I didn't notice much when pottering about, but when the guy floored it, they made a big difference and sounded great. I've since got a different E55 and haven't bothered fitting them myself, mainly as I couldn't find a handy source for...

    Servicing North East London / BMerc

    In case anyone else comes across this thread in future, I dropped the car up to Wayne Gates and can thoroughly recommend them. Not a shiny forecourt by any means, but a busy working garage, and a nice stock of motors outside and coming through the doors which is a great sign. A really good...

    E55 W211 ex VX220/TT/Seat/BMWs

    Little update on this, I decided to seek out someone relatively nearby who could give the car a good look over (whilst knowing what they are looking at) and dropped it up to Wayne Gates in Harrow for service & MOT. A fairly hefty bill ensued, although not bad really considering the range of work...

    E55 W211 ex VX220/TT/Seat/BMWs

    To be fair, I've not spent much time outside of comfort mode, I should try the other settings more and get back to you. The last BMW had active anti-roll bars which meant you could really lean on it with confidence in a bend. Merc traction control and ESP works wonders though when you consider...

    E55 W211 ex VX220/TT/Seat/BMWs

    Thanks all, I've replaced both batteries already, and added protection and monitoring devices to keep an eye on the main battery. Will put together a thread on the bits at some point as they might be of interest to others.

    E55 W211 ex VX220/TT/Seat/BMWs

    Hi all, New E55 W211 owner here. Picked up the car a couple of months back. It's filthy, so don't expect pictures, maybe later in 2021, but this car will be getting used not cleaned. Still in the honeymoon period where I can forgive the mpg and the niggly issues (and it seems these W211s have...

    Would've been a great one in a normal year, but I guess it's time to say Happy New Year now!
