That does look good dumped  . I have an E55 as my daily driver and the airmatic suspension has failed atleast once on all 4 sides and been replaced. Luckily, still under warranty.

Is that Flint Grey? Very nice ride. I was looking at C55's but I reconsidered and am looking for an E55. White is first choice but I think I like this color second over black.

Very common if you ask me. My E500 lost the drivers side, and 1 month later lost the passenger side. Both times out of warranty for a total dealership cost for repairs of 4K.

It happened on my moms e500 twice. Drivers went out and one month later the passenger side went out, then the install on the passenger side myself with the aftermarket arnott set up. $500 total.
