After 20+ BMW's over twelve years, my wife and I recently got into MB's after we purchased the car that most know me by, her 2005 E55 wagon, that's far from stock:
Then my Euro-spec C126, which is currently for sale in stock form:
And now this cherry, one-owner 75k-mile 1998 E320 that I purchased 9/17/15 from an old lady local to Atlanta its whole life. Only dealer serviced, every single record from new. This is the owner you want to buy a car from; she did everything the dealer asked her to. I think it's had more sets of wipers than it has had oil changes, LOL.
In my typical fashion, I didn't waste any time with the mods, deleting the hood star and adding a pair of black DEPO's with HID from eBay:
Then I installed a set of H&R springs with exactly one coil cut front and rear with #1 spring pads f+r and Bilstein B8 front shocks and adjusted the rear link for a total drop of approximately 2.5". Painted the calipers and rotor hats and installed Akebono Euro Ceramic pads all around:
Finally, how she sits at the moment with the coupe's old wheels: 18x9/10, +15 f+r Niche Citrine 3-piece in polished copper with 225/40 and 255/35 Nexen Nfera SU-1 tires:
So that's my eight-day progress, LOL. Plan on light tinting of the windows and side marker delete. I've been keeping an eye on a pre-facelift E55 bumper on eBay but that's just a dream at the moment as I bought this to save money!
Stay tuned as I'll update this thread as the build progresses. Thanks for looking!
