Any excuse for a photo.

Had mine 4.5 years. Make sure you get the ABC fluid and filter changed. It should be part of regular servicing but never was. I have had a C32,SLK32 and SL55 and all have been superb like SLK32 said earlier people don't come on the forum and write 'I have no problems with my SL55'

Mine came with 18" 5 spoke but I soon changed for genuine 19" 5 spoke. The ride comfort is no different between the two.

I thought a 2005 model year should have the NTG2 COMAND not the older COMAND 2 like in the picture.
Is that the Touchwood car park?

I've lusted after a SL55 ever since they came out but wimped out of buying one a couple of years ago and bought a 650i instead. Still a car I want to own at some point though.

Don't wait too long.

Would you opt for the SL63 v12 bi turbo over the SL55?
Both great but V12 brutal power surely just pips it?

Yes it is. Best Car Park lights ever pity my iPhone snap wasn't up to much.

I have had mine for 4.5 years and it hasn't exploded yet wink. I know that one day it may kick me in the head but it is such a good car to own. Very fast, comfortable, airy cabin, great noise when you press on.

Want it with the heart and buy one with the head.

Fastest car I've ever driven. 184mph at Bruntingthorpe. Sound epic as well.

You should try the Brabus 850T ... (You tube it its stunning and 850 gives away its fire power wink ).
