- W212 E63 AMG PP
So, after telling myself that I would never buy another AMG again after selling my E63 (M156) a couple of years ago (gosh I've seen it for sale 4 times and it's covered just 2k since I sold it!), I'm on the verge of getting a 2003 SL55. I used to have an E55 many moons ago, so fairly familiar with the power plant.
Seems like the main thing to look out for on the SL55 is the suspension. The one I'm going to view this week seems to have an uneven height issue. Would I be correct in thinking that it's likely to be the height level sensor, or could be it more to do with the air pump and lines and all that jazz? ie, should I be cautious, or should I be brave and buy with a view to getting new sensors etc?
Also, it is quite easy to disable the passenger airbag and fit a child seat for a toddler for an occasion sunny cruise to McDonalds for a happy meal?
