It's been gone for quite a while, too long in fact, so let's go to visit my SLS AMG Black Series and find out exactly what's up with it! No, I have not sold it, this is a permanent Shmeemobile, and I cannot wait for it to return.
So no more trolling from me regarding his inheritance Love how he cleared it up with the guy from fifth gear Brilliant stuff and increased my respect for him 50x
Hey Tim, you have to give a shout out to Misha, Robert & the Apex crew, there doing disaster recovery over at the Ring, they could use a little help from there mates around the world, Rj in Oz
What a wonderful chap Steve is!!! Amazing listening experts so comfortable discussing technical issues so eloquently in clear and a “UA-cam friendly” manner! I thought the same when you were at RENNtech with the chap (Lucas maybe?) discussing your dyno results! Awesome - really is fantastic seeing people like Steve 👌
I watched your interview on the late brake show, and I am used to say up loud all of the cars names driving past and it was driving my sister crazy. Now I do it in my head🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That SLS Black series is the most beautiful car in your collection. In my opinion it has everything a super car should have (gull wing doors, sound, color, luxurious interior, wow factor, stance, handling, great transmission, etc.)
I'm sorry but so many car collectors can learn from your outlook about using cars. I understand investment etc but your attitude towards your cars is what gets you your fan base. Love the videos, and can't wait to see this in Solarbeam Yellow.
Thanks 👍 for doing the late break show interviews. Well done ✅ I think this will be very positive for you both. You have always been very kind and responded to many of my comments and that is admirable going on the size of you channel. Great contribution to the car community... Respect.
You're right, Tim, the C63 Black Series always had the carbon roof, so it wasn't available with a sun roof so the one you saw was a standard W204 C63 :-)
Parts supply chain has been a problem with pretty much every auto manufacturer my car had to sit while parts came from the other side of the planet…. I hope you get it back on the road soon!
Didn’t realize how serious the issue was with the wiring loom. I’ve heard about this cam sensor/wiring loom problem occurring more with the non-AMG M278, also a V8 twin turbo motor, so was surprised to see it happen to yours. Maybe Mercedes needs to finally address this as a bulletin or even a recall as it’s been occurring for many years. On a totally different topic, Loved the Swatch! I’m seeing quite a few watches in your videos lately. Would be great to see a video of the collection!
How much is the bill???…..EEKK!!!!! springs to mind!! It happens that I live not far from Avantguarde and it s interesting to se such a good and brave place for MB servicing outside of the dealer network. We await the successful finishing of the work…and maybe an look at the bill!!!😨😨😨😨😀😀😀😀😀😀
Love that car some gold wrapping on the loom to deflect the heat old warhorse,, some of the best videos,, like you said,, more life than most sls ever will see great video
Thank You for the update on the SLS BLACK SERIES, now I can sleep well knowing that the MYSTIC BLUE GULLWINGED BENZENO ,is almost back with the rest of the Shmeemobiles!!!!!
Shmee150 it’s not only the oil pressure sensor it’s the engine wiring harness to the sensor from the engine control unit, there is a technical document on this, I’ve had to replace the wiring for the sensor too. Very common on the m159 sls’s
You are quite correct. The engine wiring harness has been replaced as part of the non start issue along with the engine control unit. The oil pressure sensor fault came to light once we had the engine running so replacing just the sensors will cure this problem. Unfortunately these are on backorder with Mercedes in Germany.
No way!!! A family friend of ours was a mechanic at avantgarde and he did a bunch of work on my 07 fiesta st there on the side, when I went to pick it up I had a look round, lots of of SLR mclarens and this rare green merc with a joystick instead of steering wheel! Got a few avantgarde stamps in my service book, in fact my car was exactly on the same bay yours was!
Great Vid as always, Shmee, Re the Green C63, its actually my car, c63 edition 507, I had it custom built with the arches, custom paint and Custom Forged wheels.
God shmee I love your content. I work in Nissans Sunderland plant I can say that the parts shortage is coming to an end and things are getting back to normal
@shmee150 that C63 coupe you saw could have been one of the South Africa 507s that was spec’d with the black series wing and had a sunroof in a magno green.
Seeing as there were no issues with the wiring loom before the Speaker upgrade I assume the company fitting it knicked it somewhere when fitting the new speakers. I recall you mentioning how the loom runs up through the back. Hope they're paying for the repairs!
I drove my e63s amg full send from day 1, box fresh, did not wait for any breaking in and the car to hit 1000 miles or whatever was asked. Kept and drove the ca over 50000 miles, never had one issue . I belive should break it in the way you plan on driving it
An idea for a video. Compare the the AMG/Mercedes cars and talk about only their differences. From here it looks like a half dozen in different colors with minor differences.
Where are the rest of the incoming cars going to go? By the looks of the storage all the room is already taken up with the current cars, office area and memorabilia section?
Yeah, something in the wheel electronics didn’t really agree with the car’s electronics. And I’m honestly glad it didn’t. That thing looked tacky as hell, especially the stitching. Not judging the quality of the product or the materials used, just the fit and finish. Unworthy of such an iconic car.
@@BorjaOjeda yep that steering wheel didnt suit the sls at all. But the stock one is also horrible. I think the steering wheel of the C63 Black Series would fit in perfectly
How fitting it would be to see the outgoing GTR pro replaced with something like a CLK DTM or maybe even the C63 BS? 🤞 I know Tim was a huge fan when he drove the clk at the GT BS debut event last year... it would make the absolute perfect fit for the Shmuseum!
Car sounds so much better than the ones that have been tampered with,cant understand why you would want something that sounds like the exhaust has fell off.

Nice to see the amg sls black series again
You should change your intro to “hi guys it’s me “but Instead of it’s me change it to itShmee so it sounds like it’s me and it’s Shmee
Hey shmee150, i still dont understand how you have acquired so many cars...

It's so good to see your SLS BS again, it has been missed by many fans
For sure, and even me!
Oh yes, its actually one of my favorites! As well as the new GT BS.
Sounds kind of sarcastic/funny if you read it incorrectly. "It's so good to see your SLS BS again...it has been missed by many fans!" 😁😆
Yeah
👍
I sense a C63 Black Series coming to the fleet😭❤
I second this 😅👍🏽
That's exactly what I thought
Imagine that as your daily
, but I was thinking A45
Given AMG has announced its future all-electric plans it would make sense - like Remove Before Race has done with C63 and original A45
@@Chance_It_Oz so True Jack. I hope Raz will be visiting TheShmuseum with his Solarbeam Yellow C63 Black Series once Tim's SLS is back in the fleet

If I'm not mistaken, Tim was searching for a Red AMG C63 Black Series... Is that going to be IT??
i thought it could be a CLK Black Series, but a C63 BS sounds good too
I was thinking the same thing, that's probably going to be it!
I would love to see either.
I was thinking the same thing he loves thos
ger collector has an AMG C63 BS in red 🤷♂️
I love the watch you are rocking! lol
It’s awesome to see you supporting another country while still being from the UK!
Loved the interview with Johnny Smith Tim! Keep it up, love the channel!
The SLS in blue is looking mighty fine. For sure a good choice!
I watched your interview on the late brake show, and I am used to say up loud all of the cars names driving past and it was driving my sister crazy. Now I do it in my head🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha that's funny
lol!
perfect timing 👍🏻 i just have watch the Interview on the late Brake Show 😅 some seconds ago 😅
Hope you enjoyed it!
That SLS Black series is the most beautiful car in your collection. In my opinion it has everything a super car should have (gull wing doors, sound, color, luxurious interior, wow factor, stance, handling, great transmission, etc.)
New sound system? The SLS already has a sick sound system. It’s underneath the hood or “bonnet” you might say over there. 🤙🏻
And my car has an even better one thanks to the RENNtech upgrades
I never use my sis bs sound system. Why would you???
Avant Garde are brilliant and your car was in very good hands. My mystic blue SLK 55 AMG was next to your mystic blue SLS getting an MOT.
I'm sorry but so many car collectors can learn from your outlook about using cars. I understand investment etc but your attitude towards your cars is what gets you your fan base. Love the videos, and can't wait to see this in Solarbeam Yellow.
Watched the late brake show and got more of an idea who you are and why you do what you do. And you do it so well thumbs up 👍

Parts supply chain has been a problem with pretty much every auto manufacturer my car had to sit while parts came from the other side of the planet…. I hope you get it back on the road soon!
Tim, you really need to add an SLR McLaren 722 Edition in your collection, it will look really nice next to all the AMG cars and McLarens.
Hey Tim I watched your interview with the late break show and it was amazing
Thanks for checking it out
Hi Tim. What's happening about the SLS, s steering wheel replacement.
Didn’t realize how serious the issue was with the wiring loom. I’ve heard about this cam sensor/wiring loom problem occurring more with the non-AMG M278, also a V8 twin turbo motor, so was surprised to see it happen to yours.

The colour on your old vantage looks amazing in the line up!
8:23 I like how Shmee says 50 horsepower down while the speed limit shows 50 as well haha.
Its a good thing at he say 50 horsepower is Limited to 50 speed
The rear end of the car is so beautiful.
You should try to change the streering wheel again, its gonna refresh the interior so much
Your channels just get better and better Tim.
Just watched your interview on the Late brake show........ you sir are a inspiration. Thanks Tim.
Thanks for the kind words

I’ve not heard you mention all the catastrophic flooding and deaths in the areas surrounding the Nurburgring 😔

Just watched the late brake interview. And I gotta say it's been really cool to watch ur channel grow since you got the 675LT Spyder
Just watched The Late Brake Show - absorbing and very interesting. Great to hear about the early years and the aspects of running the channel.
Can’t wait to see it back in the garage, amazing car, nice work Tim
Great to watch the late break show today and watching this video.

It's like the son visiting his long lost father

Nice content with some practical information involved with multiple special car ownership.
Are you sure thats a good idea to take the new black series to go see the old one 😅..... that might not go well 😬
*angry sls noises intensify*
Same as visiting your wife at the hospital with your new side girl on your arm!

the gtr black series is my favourite car of your collection..it's beautiful
It’s been forever since we got to see that black series. Looks phenomenal.
Love the sls, great to see it back on the channel (briefly)

The mods etc you've already put into the SLS is fantastic.
After everything I would like to see another dyno run. The one at Renntech was just insane
Is there any reason why you haven’t mentioned what happened at the Nurburgring unless Iv missed it seeing as Apex are doing a fantastic job out there.
I’ve been thinking the same thing.
@shmee150 that C63 coupe you saw could have been one of the South Africa 507s that was spec’d with the black series wing and had a sunroof in a magno green.
The upcoming AMG could even be an Aston or even a Pagani....
Beautiful watch!!! Please do a video on your watch collection! I would love to see that!
Thanks for the update!!!! Absolutely love the car, might look at a AMG GT soon…
That Astorn Martin colour looks brilliant in the garage light

An SLR HAS to be coming to the channel, after the C63BS
Mercedes line up will be complete with an SLR
Would be an awesome addition!
Omg my heart when you opened the door!!
Spray paint the break calipers to white to go with the yellow solar beam and maybe the letters on the calipers with a dark blue.
#1 AMG Ambassador on the internet
And mclaren too
Also remove before race
@shmee150 Could You please do a garage update soon? Your plans for the future and what cars are coming etc?
Where are the rest of the incoming cars going to go? By the looks of the storage all the room is already taken up with the current cars, office area and memorabilia section?
It's more likely the tuning at Renntech caused the electronics failure!
Shmee, was that upgraded steering wheel a non success for the SLS? I know you had a couple of attempts.
Yes, was also about to ask the same question, looked so much better with the new wheel, can you update us please!
was wondering the same

I remember when you had a R8 spyder, this is quite an upgrade Tim.
Great videos Tim! I would love to know what happened with the TVR order
Are you still going to try fitting the new steering wheel once this gets sorted?
Car sounds so much better than the ones that have been tampered with,cant understand why you would want something that sounds like the exhaust has fell off.
The SLS Black Series is my favorite car of your collection, I would have also done the respray. love the Mystic Blue (and I hate gray)
