Congrats, very nice... you must be absolutely hanging to get the car out and start having some fun with it.
I must say, when I saw the front wheel moving I had a "wtf" moment for a second before it dawned on me.
Can't wait for some more updates!

This one is a game changer for sure. AMG could have done this from the start if they wanted to, but that would have taken away from the new E AMG platform. I'm looking forward to track data, as well as how the drive train holds up.

Thanks everyone for the great responds this makes it worth a while and as soon as she is ready to rip I will defenatily share some footage and impression of the drivability of the car. I really give the guys at GAD thumbs up on this, its just unheard off that an after market tuner company in rebuilding a RWD car and making it an AWD just pure talent and dedication

Can you share more info whether any mods to the gearbox have been made to make it stronger? After all the M157 engine makes 550HP in the standard E63 so I always wonder how strong is the gearbox to deal with all the extra power and torque.
Also, do you or infact anyone here knows for sure whether the M157 engine has any forged parts inside, like crank, rods or pistons?

Also.... I am incredibly impressed w the level of trust you have w GAD. That and the result speak more than words can. Longevity is to be determined but It certainly appears to have been well placed thus far
