- Black 2005 C55 AMG
My long wait finally ended last Monday when I collected the 2005 C55 that Ive been after for sooo long, the 90 miles journey home was great, only floored it once and was well impressed, returned a surprising 26 mpg (It was motorway crusing nearly all the way).
After a few days driving around I just love the noise, such a relaxed car when you want it to be, then give it some encouragement and it just flies, I can safely say using my favourite stretch of straight safe dual carriageway road that I always use to test my cars speed, this C55 is quicker than my previous 315 bhp Impreza and 400 bhp Evo IX.
Little things I like about it are the passenger mirror dips automatically to the floor when you reverse, the rear Parktronic display above the rear seats and the fog & side lights coming on when you unlock the car in the dark.....just little things that I thought were nice touches!!
Couple of questions:-
What size should the front profile tires be? I have 35mm on the rear and 40mm of the front?
Should the rear speaker covers have a Harman Kardon logo on both speakers?
Reat electric blind doesn't work, I can hear a clickling noise but it won't work, fuse is ok.
Here's some a before pic and 2 after a good wash and dry, the bonnet has been cut twice using a cutting compound & mop, then glazed & waxed, the rest of the car will have a mop, glaze & wax as soon as we get better weather!!
A quick thanks to Mark for a smooth sale
