I'm helping park cars at church this morning and a guy pulled up in a nice looking M with aero package and 19" sport wheels, but something looked a little different - sat a little lower and aero kit had a bit more aggressvie look. I went around back and I read M55 - the 55 looked strange compared to the normal 35 or 45

I asked the guy "what's a 55?" - a euro spec supercharged 5.5L V8 - said his company was a euro importer of goods and his company sent one car to the U.S. - said it was a pain to service and it was a 2006 model. Car was DG with the baseball stitch interior -

Has anyone seen another one of these cars????? I did a search on this site and did not come up with anything.

 

if the "55" looked strange he probably re-badged it. i've never heard of a factory supercharged M.

was it LHD?

 

i'm thinking possibly a VK56DE engine with an aftermarket supercharger
as far as i'm aware, neither the USDM m45/ JDM nissan Fuga nor the euro-spec car have supercharged V8s
I'm interested to know, tho

 

in talking to him I got the impression he was tired of the car and ready for something newer than a '06 - I left him my business card and asked him if he would call me first if he decided to sell it. I'm sure I will see him again and if I do I will see about snaping a shot of the engine.

 

Maybe he was dreaming that his car had "a euro spec supercharged 5.5L V8" from the Mercedes E55. Did the "55" emblem look like this?

 

Should have looked under the hood

 

ditto.

iphone pics or

 

omfg i saw a 350GT today! srsly! a JDM car in US?!?!?! how did he put the steering wheel back to the left side?!

 

hahaha you people are so gullible.

note to self: slap on a G55 badge and SKYLINE GTR badge when selling the car, probably get an extra $5000

 

Yes. Euro spec when the car isn't even sold in Europe. You'd have to be an idiot to rebadge your car as such in the first place (I have a picture of someone who did it on a black M here in Hawaii) but you'd have to be an even bigger dumbass to believe him when we're talking about a Japanese car that's assembled in Japan. Euro spec? How can you not smell the BS all over that one right off the bat?
