We can also assist with shipping logistics if needed!July 9th, 2026 at 3:43pm ESTForzaCarCompany (13) Seller 2@blakleyleonard We couldn't agree more. July 9th, 2026 at 3:39pm ESTblakleyleonard (351) 6I absolutely love this car. Mars Red is an incredible color, and I'd guess there's a very small hand full (less than 10?) C55's in this color. Not to mention the low mileage, ultra clean condition, and recent service. If timing was different for me, I'd be bidding! Very rare bird here, good luck to all lurking!

I too have not heard any lifter noise whilst the car has been here.

I don’t hear anything in the video but curious! -Good luck with the sale.

Cs and Es of that era were set a little too cautious from the factory.July 9th, 2026 at 2:38pm ESTForzaCarCompany (13) Seller 0@UncleFred1 Tagging just to make sure you caught the features video!July 9th, 2026 at 2:34pm ESTForzaCarCompany (13) Seller 0Hello everybody and good afternoon! With approximately 70 minutes to go on this C55 auction, we'll be watching closely and ready to answer any last minute questions. Anyone is also welcome to get in touch with us directly. The owner of this C55 is a repeat client of ours, having most recently sold a BMW 850i of his a little over a year ago. He has great taste and takes good care of his cars while still making sure to use and enjoy them. This C55 deserves a good enthusiast home.July 8th, 2026 at 3:50pm ESTForzaCarCompany (13) Seller 1Good afternoon folks! A basic features demonstration video is now up. It shows the windows, sunroof, locks/keyless entry, mirrors, stereo/CD, climate control system, lights, seats, mirrors, steering wheel controls, tilt/telescoping wheel, trunk release, and rear headrests folding. One thing to note is the sunroof has an overzealous anti-pinch feature and requires the button to be held when closing. The tracks are free of visible debris and I attempted the reset process, but the quirk remains. That's the only oddity I can note at this time. If I missed anything, don't hesitate to mention it and I'll get your question answered! Additionally, the second key fob has been located and will be included in the sale. July 8th, 2026 at 3:47pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0An additional video has been added to the listing.

I guess I was confused over the manual mode on the transmission- i thought it stayed in gear until you actually hit the button, but I guess the system takes over if you don’t do it in a timely manner. Safety feature…typical MB! As to the functions, I get your point about photos showing some of the features. However, a short video showing these things working is more telling, as how they work is as important. Do the windows and sunroof open and close smoothly; how cold does the A/C get - a digital thermometer showing it coming down is most effective. I recommend this on other sites because fixing something that is partially working is just as expensive as if it isn’t working at all. Been there, paid that!😣. Your call! Thanks!July 6th, 2026 at 10:15am ESTthembmarket (691) 0A photo showing a service summary has been uploaded to the gallery. July 6th, 2026 at 9:42am ESTForzaCarCompany (13) Seller 0Good morning MBMarket! @Josefffff I do apologize - I didn't see any messages come through. At any rate, I appreciate your patience while we enjoyed the holiday weekend - we hope you enjoyed yours too. In November 2019, the gearbox oil was replaced alongside the o-rings on the connection into the conductor plate as a preventative measure. @kjbcars Thanks for the assist on these very important points. @UncleFred1 The gearbox won't allow you to upshift manually if there aren't enough revs on board, it's a nice feature really and this one shifts as well as any one I've driven. I will try to get you a video, in the meantime
