I am currently looking to replace my E93 M3 with a C63 507 - Mainly for the character and noise of the AMG car plus the power boost will no doubt be welcome (not that the M3 was lacking!) and I am looking to get the 507 in Saloon variant as the extra doors and seat in the back will be most welcome.

Now, I do envisage keeping the car mostly stock but I was looking at some upgrades - Miltek Down Pipes & Akrapovic Slip On or Evolution Exhaust.

The Quaife LSD comes recommended from a friend who had his C63 upgraded with this from Birds Auto in the UK?

The stock air intake could most likely be upgraded to something higher-spec too I imagine?

And I don't imagine me doing much else to it - hence why I was looking at any worthy upgrades?

Options wise, when the car was new, is there anything worth trying to find on a car? The only thing I have read upon is the Harmon Kardon speaker upgrade? - I believe all other options were pretty much standard?

Was there a Sat Nav upgrade?

Thanks!

 

Nope, no worthy upgrades. It's as good as it gets stock, good luck!

 

Not even the Quaife LSD?

 

Good call on the car switch.... I am in love with my 507 sedan as a DD.... coming from a long line of audi's its a very different experience.

I have a ton of mods ready to go on -sending her to Dave and the EC team in Austin next week hopefully to get the following added and then a custom dyno tune done.

• Carbon fiber driveshaft
• ARH headers w/ Cats
• front and rear Racing Brake 2 piece rotors, lines and pads
• Renntech airbox / Gruppe M scoops
• Renntech Throttlebodies w/ new Sikky gaskets
• EuroCharged's E85 kit w/ injectors
• 180 degree Mishimoto thermostat and cooler Weistec sparkplugs
• Weistec catch can and oil top
• East Coast Euro billet Motor/ tranny mounts
• UPD billet Pulleys and Underdrive main pulley

Will certainly post up results once all finished.... I know a LSD and likely wider rear fenders are the next step from here......

 

 

Does LSD not come standard on the 507 in other countries? In Canada, the 507 comes with absolutely every option as standard equipment. Guess I took it for granted it was that way everywhere.

IMO, an aftermarket exhaust is totally not worth it. Just delete the secondary cats and call it a day. The sound and volume is perfect!

 

 

 

yes - In Dallas weekly for 2-3 days it seems ...... we should grab lunch sometime, still want to see your BS...

Agree on the Akra as an interesting option - but a Gdog noted I think it really only works with LTH's..... I'm going to try it with the OEM setup and see...... also sounded like the Remus had a nice tone but the tips need to be swapped out IMHO...

Alloy - where are you located ? I'll have my EC'ed cat Delete avail shortly.....

Ah oh, I want to be extremely careful with piping and ruining the sound.

I ended up hating my mods on my E93 - I went for decat and full steel pipes with an Eisemann Race Exhaust - it just sounded like a loud noise with no character! - had to revert back to OEM - man that was an expensive U-Turn!

 

I'm based in the UK.

Any chance of hearing your car on video once you've had the work done?

Also, what colour if your car? is it that Magno Platinum Matt color Mercedes factory offer? - or have you had it wrapped?

 

Im another 507 owner in dallas we should all get together for a cars an coffee and park next to eachother or something
