Just picked up my C55

[timk]

A true rocket ship - that V8 makes the most glorious noise, like Bryn Terfel gargling vintage port.

Enjoy!

Nice analogy

Congratulations on the new toy, now get some pics posted.

Will do, just as soon as the service and valet have been done on Sat

to enable how long the lights stay on ,go to settings/convinience....... its all there and a lot more too

Yep - found all that.... thought it was something else I had missed but I think I've come across most of it.

Finally got round to giving it a wash - here's a couple of pics, apologies for the rubbish quality, they're taken on a camera phone...C43 looking forlorn in the background.

couple more...

I'd strongly advise taking the pics down, and removing the number plate details.

You can never be to careful these days.

I think if I remember correctly from my w211 days the video button will play the DVD if you have one inserted?

ps My last car had this with harmon kardon and the sound is very impressive...7.1 surround or something..

Oops, there's always one..
Mods - any chance you could take them down and I'll re-post in the gallery section once I've edited the number plates out...thanks

Both cars look amazing. Keep seeing a bright red C55AMG around S.E. London.

Is the C43 still for sale or are you going to keep her?

I'd be interested to see a red one - must look pretty special. The '43 is still for sale - I would love to keep it though - after two weeks of C55 I took the C43 out for a drive at the weekend and it still puts a smile on my face. Feels very different, but still solid and very fast, and makes a lovely noise.

I have ambitions to one day have a pair just like yours..

Lovely looking car. Your camera phone takes very good quality pictures.

 

[500E]

The red one does look amazing.

Remember seeing it for sale a few years ago for £13k, its a 54'plate.

C55AMG is just an amazing car, a good mod would be the huge 8 piston brakes up front used in the E55AMG, it'll give it a more aggressive look!

Have fun and enjoy.

Two lovely looking motors. Shame one has to go...

Only the W211/ R171 and W220 could play video. The W203/209 etc couldnt

it was a different comand system
