Hi everyone. I am Paul, the owner of a 2005 E55 AMG (LHD) about to be brought back from the Middle East to live with me in Southampton.

Would enjoy connecting with fellow E55 (W211) Kompressor owners in and around Southampton. Mine (LHD) is on its way to the UK from Dubai where I lived until recently. My E55 has about 120K miles on the clock, some mild upgrading to the cooling system (esp for the supercharger). Dyno figures of about a year ago had 490 bhp and 545 lbs ft

Welcome to the forum Paul. It's going to feel pretty cold moving here from Dubai!
You have a great indy in Southampton at MBS.
Cole (at MBS) took care of my E55 when I owned it until 2019.

Your dyno figures are still good with 120k on the clock.
A little up on BHP and a little down on torque for MB quoted figures.

Welcome from another Southampton area member. I can also recommend Cole at MBS.

Welcome I am not one of the 55 brigade, but there are plenty on here with mountains of knowledge.

Welcome.
Interesting, will be awkward driving a LHD car here. Will the insurance be higher because it is a LHD..?

I drove a LHD car in the U.K. - it’s not difficult (Camaro) the only pfaff is when car park ticket dispensers are by the RH door….passengers come in handy :)

Your fuel bill will differ a tad over here, but another Southampton owner (of a lowly E400) here.
Also recommend MBS (was on the phone to them today.....)
