Thanks Sam, nice video! I’m up here in the Bay Area, my ‘01 129 is nearly identical and at 180k still going strong. When you get the chance take the 101 up from SoCal instead, much better than I5. When you switch tires, consider the Michelin pilots, they are amazing on this car. Cheers!
I have made the drive from socal to norcal probably more than 10+ times in the last few years haha. Some up PCH, some 101 if I plan on seeing friends in cities along the way, but I-5 for time efficiency is still the best. I actually took 101 back on this trip! I have pilot sport 4s on other cars but will probably go for a conti premium contact on this car, depending what the best deal is!
You nailed it. Great review. Totally agree about effortless character of this super car. When you park it valet do you get first row exposure with it? Here in Florida they always place it next to other super cars …
The fitment looks perfect with those monoblocks. If I would have known you were up at legion of honor I would have brought my R129 there, I’m just around the corner. Next time you’re in the area let me know!

Great cars, I've never valeted it but it definitely would fit in!

Thank you! If you're active on instagram I'm @sam.amg, I usually document my roadtrips there. Planning on some time in december
The exhaust sound is great. How did you do this again?
Just a muffler delete and welded on tip, nothing fancy!
great video, car doesn't even look like it has half the miles it does
thank you brotha
M113? - explains the mpg.
Nope, M119. M113 would probably be a little better for MPG
