HRE Wheels RennTech Throttle Body & Air Box HELP?

Hello friends,

My neighbor just sold his 2011 E63 (says he got bored with it)and is waiting on his new M6 to arrive.

So, he wants to sell me his:

-HRE (IDK what model these are, I attached a pic) wheels and tires.
They're 19" and have about 4K miles on them (Michellen Pilot Sports w TPMS)


-Renntech Throttle Body 4K Miles

-Renntech Carbon Fiber Airbox 4K Miles

He's asking me for $9,200. What do you guys think??
(Keep in mind, I don't question the mileage or authenticity of these items bring that he lives around the corner from me and I talk to and see him very often.)

I figured I'd ask being that I am not really a veteran when it comes to these mods and upgrades though...

Thanks for any input...!!!

He also has a SuperSprint full Exhaust System (front to back, he said he paid around $20K for it), but I don't think it's compatible w/ the C63. However, if you know anyone who's in interested in that, feel free to chime in

I'd check if the wheels the correct offset and tires will fit. Contact HRE. As far as pricing I'd thing about 50% of new list price is about what most mods are worth.

The E63 SuperSprint system won't fit, and it isn't worth 20k new either!

A car
Those are HRE P47.

Feel free to email me the serial number (Usually 5 digits starting with a F or R) to me at LonM@hrewheels.com and I'd be happy to provide the specs.

Nice wheels, but I think the rear offset of the E63 is lower than our C63.. I might be wrong though!

First of all, throttle bodies do NOTHING for this platform, absolutely nothing. Can you find me a dyno run before and after installing throttle bodies showing any gains?..you wont find any.

Second, the asking price of 9k is extremely high for used products and you could probably get all those items new for the same price if you got a good discount rate.

Third, this dude is a complete liar. I have the Supersprint full Exhust system on my C63, and it certainly did not cost 20k. I started a thread about it:

Tell him to go con someone else and you won't buy into his lies and BS

Wow

talk about "telling it like it IS"

cut the crap and straight to the chase.

All said, he IS only my neighbor and we only small talked (hi, bye, nice car, yadayada) and while he was "pitching" me, he started a lot of his sentences with, "I'm not gonna lie to you, but..." which is why I posted this...

I guess I'll offer him 5K and see what he says..

thanks again. Need to hear this one for sure

My advice to you is to purchase your products new. Don't go cheap when modding your car

I know Elvin. Good guy. I met him through his Ace of Dents business.

I tried to talk him out of buying the 2011 and waiting for the 2012 Bi-turbo model but he didn't listen.

If you see him, tell him Mike with the black C63 said; "what's up"

I have to agree with Jacob502, don't spend your money on the throttle bodies or air box. You may actually lose low end torque with them. Never proven to gain anything.

Thanks- I think I may just go with the wheels and tires then...
HRE P47sc. The seller is cool with me mounting them and taking for a ride before purchasing, so I guess we'll see.
