Very nicely done mods, and like you said, it maintains an OEM look to it.

Lotta car for the money!July 26th, 2023 at 4:51pm ESTMDPensfan (10) 1I have a pending local S55 purchase, but I would be all over this otherwise. July 26th, 2023 at 4:50pm ESTTarik (2) 1Super sleeper status W212. Love the wheel choice tooJuly 26th, 2023 at 4:49pm EST$25,500 bid placed by @MedrmaJuly 26th, 2023 at 4:44pm ESTprocrastiNATE (2) Seller 0@MDPensfan I know I have it somewhere and I will locate it. It is a MyGenius programmer actually, you do not use a laptop w/ Eurocharged for one reason or another. July 26th, 2023 at 4:41pm ESTMDPensfan (10) 0I might have missed it. Does the tuning cable come with the car, in case for some reason the owner wanted to go back to stock?July 26th, 2023 at 4:40pm ESTprocrastiNATE (2) Seller 0@MDPensfan 10 mins left and thank you! it's a fantastic car. The upgrades/mods have preserved the OEM feel of a W212 with AMG sport package, no compromises there! No short cuts on the specific parts either. Car is 10 years old but still feels and even smells like a new car. July 26th, 2023 at 4:35pm ESTMDPensfan (10) 1Only an hour away, so tempting with those tasteful mods. July 24th, 2023 at 4:00pm ESTprocrastiNATE (2) Seller 0Just realized I didn't cover it in my notes or the auction listing itself but State of Virginia title is in hand, under my name, for the E550! July 19th, 2023 at 9:40pm ESTprocrastiNATE (2) Seller 0Good evening all! I have asked for a short exhaust note video to be uploaded, should be up soon. July 19th, 2023 at 11:22am ESTprocrastiNATE (2) Seller 0@exyboxy absolutely! I’ll see if I can add a short video of a couple revsJuly 19th, 2023 at 11:12am ESTexyboxy (1) 1@Lookn007 so it sounds killer I'm guessing :)July 18th, 2023 at 2:08pm ESTprocrastiNATE (2) Seller 0@Lookn007 While it definitely wont hurt performance, I did it solely for a mild increase in exhaust note. It turned out perfect as it's a small uptick in sound but one that is noticeable.

July 18th, 2023 at 1:02pm ESTprocrastiNATE (2) Seller 0Thank you for taking a look at my W212 E550 Sedan!! I am available to answer any questions you may have, take additional photos, whatever is asked of me to thoroughly and transparently represent this beautiful car. I will do my best to bullet point a few additional things about my ownership which has been roughly 1 year. -Little history on my search and the car: I searched for quite a while, expecting to drive across state lines, to find a clean, lower mileage 2014 E550 sedan. As you know, a taken care of facelift W212 E550 sedan is very hard to come by and the ONLY YEAR of the M278 Twin Turbo V8 in the sedan with the facelift. The ones that do exist are mostly all over 100k miles, many of them neglected or driven by the 4th or 5th owners. Sure, there are more coupes out there, but in my opinion the sedan was a far more handsome look, and the scarcity made it more appealing to me. I got lucky and located this car traded in at a local well-known Toyota dealer. The only information I was given was that the prior owners (and only prior owners) were an elderly couple and traded the E550 in for a brand-new Toyota SUV. -The car didn't "need" anything when I bought her, the first test drive I could tell the car was taken care of, everything worked, car drove smoothly, the interior was in amazing condition, and the carfax corroborated the regular service the car received, as well as all filters being changed at the dealer upon inspection. In my ownership I immediately replaced the OEM wheels that had seen some curbs over the years and tires with a more modern, yet IMO tasteful setup. Since then I have done a handful of upgrades, preventative maintenance just for peace of mind (in gallery), and lastly had the rear bumper cover repainted on my own will. There was a prior repaint on the rear bumper cover and it was not up to my standards which I thought took away from an otherwise extremely clean example of a steel grey metallic W212. The work my shop performed brought back the OEM brilliance and looks amazing. -Why am I selling? I know this will come up so I'll do my best to answer the question. I am 40 years old and have owned 25 cars in my lifetime, little excessive to some I'm sure, to enthusiasts, probably normal! I typically keep cars for 4-12 months. It's a hobby of mine to find cool (relatively affordable) platforms, sort them out to my standards, add upgrades where I see fit, enjoy, then move on to the "next project." In some markets I break even, some I make a little, some I lose money, It's never been a "business" for me, rather a hobby. I am lucky enough to have a supportive wife that puts up with this! Anyway, in the case of this E550, I have gone a bit above and beyond with the "fine tooth comb" and the sorting/upgrades, and I'm really happy with how it is in its current state. I work from home 3-4 days a week so anything I own does not really accrue much mileage. -Common question I get re: the resonator deletes. Yes, the cats are still intact, no there is not drone on the freeway. At idle the car sounds bone stock, there is just a little more V8 burble upon acceleration. I can confidently say sound and acceleration is very similar to a W212 E63 with this car, best way I can put it. -Title is in hand, car has been and will remain garage kept un
