Risk vs reward I suppose. Luckily I got a hell of a deal on this car with a massive pile of service history. Everything was done at MB and the car was taken in for the slightest of issues. It's a dream find as far as these cars go imo.

Weistec 2.9L whipple, eurocharged tuning, weistec twin pump water cooled FMIC, snow methanol system, long tube headers, race cats, full exhaust etc. I know the builder who described it as a blank check build!

Sounds like an awesome car. It seems most people who have gone from W211 E55 to E63 or the other way almost always like the 55 more, its one of my all time favorite MB's. A coworker has a 42k mile 06 CLS55 that is stock. All my current MB's are slow. :(

Even though the biturbo V8's are awesome, I was talking about the S/CL/SL 600/65 V-12 cars. I keep forgetting MB has turbos all over the place now. I had an 06 S600, sooo much torque and soooo smooth and comfy.

The engine bay of the Z31 was just about wrapped up this weekend until they ran out of gass. Literally. I should have engine updates very soon.

The Skyline should be leaving Japan soon too and can't wait to see it.

Meanwhile, had the E55 polished and ceramic coated.

Love it! My favorite interior on the W211.

I had an 06 E500 4matic wagon. I bought it with 201k miles on it, sold it to a friend at 217k about a year ago and he has close to 240k on it now. The interior held up extremely well and looked better than some cars with 40k. The drivers bolster was the only noticeable issue. The only major exterior issues were the headlights yellowing and your typical rock chips. Your car should last a looong time.

Mine too. And the FJ20 was the first 4 valve 4 cylinder in production vehicle and the most powerful 4 cylinder ever with the FJ20et at the time.

I thought I had read the first in general but cannot confirm that. I did find where it said at the time it was the most powerful 4 cylinder engine ever made.

Prepping a surface for paint down to bare metal gives me a huge erection.

Impul D-01s or Starsharks would look the part. Just my $.02, you obviously have this figured out.

You have some excellent taste, boss man.
That R30 is going to look sharp. The paint color and the interior as-is are so cool.
