Well BITOG brain trust the bug has me again...
Lately I've been swooning over the late update w211 E55s as a fun daily/highway beast. I'm certainly familiar with MBZ as I've been driving an M113 v8 Benz of roughly that vintage forever (and it won't be going anywhere, but it'd be nice to have another 4-door car to haul my new baby around in than just the RX350 blender on wheels) but I can't get the supercharged AMG car out of my head for the last year or so.
Any BITOGERS have one? I know they basically have my exact drivetrain refined a bit for a supercharger, so that's pretty much the only question mark, but it sounds like they are just tough as nails all around, of course I'd look for a sub-80k one with excellent pedigree and no panoramic roof,but I know they can be prone to the 722.6 conductor plates and 113 RMS leaks.
So what say BITOG? I am a pretty avid DIYer and have a quickjack at my disposal and also read the SBC was just warrantied to 25yrs by MB so that also helps there
