Funny how life works like this a lot.

Congrats on selling it, and now you have some sweet wheels and springs which you have to put on your next car (which also tells you what car you need to buy) .

So I had my car for sale be cause I wanted to get a 550, noone bit on it for the pat 2 months...
I did some minor mods during the time for sale, did black roof, black numbers and roundels, and grill, nothing major since it was for sale....

so 2 weeks ago i was luck fuckit im gonna just kep the car its starting to look really good.... SOO i buy Joons gloss back miros 935s, and buy some H and R springs.
I was SUPER excited to get the rim and they arrived on tues, I rushed down on wed morn and had them put on and also had the car lowered... I had a slight rubbing issue so i took it back yesterday and had the springs reinstalled and got rid of the issue....i spent around 3 hrs driving it around really loving it and seeing how it looked,,,, THEN my friend who is a dealer calls and says,, "HEY HEY, can you bring your car down I just sold it for you!! WTF..
So I take it to his dealership and sure enuff this guy is there waiting for it...
he test drives it and wants to buy it.....MINUS THE RIMS AND SPRINGS!!
So now im like wtf, i went head and sold him the car minus the rims and spring, but the new buyer is having to pay to have the springs removed and put it all back to stock....Im like WTF its the SAME DAY i put it all on!!
i have to go in 30 mins to finalize the deal and sign the papers....just ironci how things work out.....

anyone want to buy some Miros 935s and some H and R sport springs!!
Congrats on the sale. You could use the rims on the 550. You should also tell the guy who bought your car about this forum. I am sure he will get the mod bug or, at the very least, he'll appreciate other people's mods better.

So the deal is done,, and th car is gone.. its just like wow im finally out of the 535 and onto the 550. i feel lucky i made a few grand on the car also and dont have to deal with problems now with the hpfp anymore...i was always stressing out about that....

here are some pics of my car right before it got the wheels and springs off.. i took them with my blackberry. sorry they arent that good...

I still might be selling the wheels and springs...

and its a beast... but its out of waranty and that makes mer VERY nervous....

been seeing a lot of "murdered out" cars lately, don't know if I like it on luxury sedans. Definitely keep the cls in mind though, if you can get the cls amg, now that cars a beast!
