a quarter mile at a time
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Took it up to red-line for the first time the other day. The engine sounds absolutely amazing, although it makes you wonder if it's going to explode into a million pieces somewhere after 7k rpm's...... and then there's another 1.3k rpm's to go. Rev-matched downshifts are fantastic!

about 1,300 miles so far. Top speed? I have no clue and have no intention of finding out for myself. It gets up to 100 in a heartbeat.

Rev-match happens automatically in the more agressive shift modes. So for example if you're on a brisk run and while slowing down, hit the minus paddle, it will blip the throttle automatically on each shift, even if you don't have your foot on the accelerator at all.
Break in has been over for about 200 miles
Damn Gary!! I saw you selling a lip already too. lol. I'm starting off small. Had DVD-in-motion done by Aleks last week and I've been to eAs twice to get some coding done. Apparently the newer cars have new software that hasn't been cracked by Autologic yet. I'm the ginea pig!

Raced any C350s yet.. cause you know, on the highway, they're faster - right?
On a serious note, good to hear you're enjoying it as you should be! Keep us updated.

white and whiter
intake on the s63 doesn't work at all unlike the s54. they're mostly just for sounds. i've drove e92/90 now with intake and without...they don't make much difference at all other than noise. if you get a larger volume manifold cover tho it make some difference.

How has yours been treating you?
Recently witnessed one sail past at full tilt on the 405 during my pre-dawn 70 mph workaday commute. He must have been doing twice that!
Have you had occasion to show nlpamg’s M5 the quick way through the twisty bits?

Thanks for all the comments guys!!!!!!!!!
She's been doing great. Been putting a lot of miles on it and it's been flawless so far. The handling is just addictive. Splinter you gotta take it for a spin next time we meet up.
Update:
12.5mm TMS spacers at all 4 corners.
I STILL haven't had time to throw the new springs on. I did get around to throwing some spacers on it though. Here are the pics!!!
