I'm still learning terms. What does "sticky" mean?
Anyway- I'm trying to find a thread on the M113 Naturally Aspirated motors. I am trying to figure out of you have one of the 55's with this motor, what mods can be done to it? I am looking at a w210 E55 and a w215 CL55 (2002). Both naturally aspirated. What mods can be done?

Are those the 2 piece AMG's that come on the older 65's? That is a really nice Estate.My e63. Just got new alloys, and a photo of the desinio interior.

The state that I bought the car in used front tags and my current state does not.
The plate bracket was screwed directly into the front bumper with self tapping screws.
Rather than repair/replace, I'm simply going with a front "vanity" plate.
In future, I may look into using a state tag, maybe one to match the plate on the back (if legally possible).
For now, I'm liking the newer transformers one.
Let me know if it's too kitsch or tacky, though my wife initially bought an AMG plate, which I thought to be a little bit showy.
Here's what they look like:

Gorgeous Benzes guys!
Thanks.
I recently decided that I didn't like the front plate so much as it obfuscates the cooler and hides the new shape bumper.
I bought some screw caps for 89c from Home depot and then painted them with MB touch up paint and clear coat.
The first pressure wash took the paint off, so I roughed them up with a fine sandpaper, repainted, and so far so good.
They're just stuck into the holes that the tag holder screws tapped with a bit of elmer's glue!
Here is the before and after:

I recently changed out the rims on my 2004 E55.
I went from the stock rims which were 18x9 all around, to the staggered 18x8.5 18x9.5 size the later E55/E63's use. I kept the existing tires (stock sized front 245/40 rear 265/35).
But after changing the rims out, the ride quality is noticeable much worse. Small imperfections in the road can be felt through the car much more heavily, and the vibrations/shock is now enough that something in the sunroof now rattles (it did not before).
The replacement rims are much lighter than the stock ones. Does the wonky airmatic system need to be configured to take into account the new rim weight? Or has changing the rims out made the suspension behave badly because it's not longer identical to stock?
Any suggestions or ideas?
