How to ruin an E55.....

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi,<br /> Have to agree with Nic, I quite like it, and has parktronic and folding mirrors too, remove the boot spoiler and those hideous window tints and replace grill. Not worth 8k though.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Trouble is though it looks like a drug dealers car. I wonder why he's selling it so soon, he bought it in February 09!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I've looked at 3 e55's this year where the owners were selling them after less than 6 months. One car had 9 owners in ten years. Thats a lot of people in bellmarsh<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Do you think perhaps the ownership / running costs caught them out ?<br /> <br /> I thought drug dealers / crime lords were all minted ?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Times are tough howard, <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> in all seriousness the london based cars seem to have been owned by young ish guys who simply underestimated the reality of sub 15 mpg on a dialy basis.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">And all were rusty. Now thats criminal.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I thought it would lookreally hideous but in reality it is not that bad. Painting a roof black is weird, and I mean weird. Do they have sunshine in that part of the world? That colour will certainly help keep the occupants warm, especially on a hot, sunny day <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/devil.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" /><br /> <br /> I am mnot going to get into a scientific discussion about heat absorbion, I will simply suggest that on a really hot, sunny day. Find a black coloured car that is out in the hot sun.... Drop your pants and trousers, then attampt to sit on the front wing.. <img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/devil.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><br /> <br /> To cool your deri aire down... Find a white car and sit on that<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Actually I like it. It matches the roof. The car has air con so it probably doesn't matter too much about the rare days of sun.</div>

Lets face it, it is a little unusual to get rid of a car so soon, especially after all that so called work and money he has spent on it.

<div class="bbWrapper">my guess is that they bought it cheap because the brakes needed doing. Put some aftermarket disks and pads on, run it around for a few months to enjoy it and now they've decided to sell it on and buy something else to enjoy.<br /> <br /> I used to change my cars on a whim, keeping some as little as a few weeks. I don't find the seller's behaviour that odd really</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The car looks ok apart from the wheels they don't do anything for me I preffer the standard AMG wheels. but I like the black roof looks cool.<br /> <br /> As for the interior it's not my kind of thing, I preffer the grey and white interior! <img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/thumb.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":thumb:" title="Thumb :thumb:" data-shortname=":thumb:" /></div>
