AMG Help!
Does anyone know of any good AMG performance parts that i could purchase for my w210 e320? The car performs decently but has lot its kick it use to have in the old days. Any suggestions? For starters I think I might buy some 18" AMG wheels. Im really just looking for an exhaust system, but other stuff would be awesome.

personally, i think you're better off trading in and getting an E55 instead of playing
around piecemeal like with parts....paying premium dollar....when they really aren't
going to do much, measurably, for your performance. heck, the AMG rims alone
are, arguably, going to decrease your fuel economy. bottom line is that the AMG
accouterments really end up like your buying Victoria Secret underwear, ie they
look pretty, but not much to add unless you got the body/engine to go with it.
i added AMG stuff off an E55 but it really was more for looks and I have no
illusions that it didn't do squat for the car....save for the E55 seats which
really pampers my buh-hine and back wonderfully

The rims will probably slow the car down. The Monoblocks are large and heavy.
If the car is getting slower, it's probably time for replacing some stuff, like O2 sensor, MAF, spark plugs, etc.
The AMG models are faster due to the massively larger engine. There really aren't any performance bolt ons that will help on a 320. Trading for an E55 would be the easiest and cheapest way to go. Custom turbo or Kleeman supercharge would work, but will probably be more expensive.

Well...
I really dont have that money to spend on another car. The only way really to get the moeey for it is to get it through a trade in or private selling. My car on kbb is worth 8k which is depressing considering its in outstanding shape and runs pretty well, and the fact that I cant find an E55 close to me makes that even more impossible. I see alotta potential in it. I should upload some pictures. Hehe i knoiw its crazy but how much is a brabus engine for one of em'? I was just wondering how much those engines were... ill upload the link showing the brabus w210.

Oh yeah i think this guy did a phenomenal job on his E class. He made a custom turbocharged engine, built it from the ground up but apparently his tranny couldnt take the load and died a shortwhile after the project was complete.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
He's a

And if you want to spend the money a 722.6 trans can be built that will handle 800 h.p.
but you gotta pay to play.
Why do you need to go faster than 135mph that the E320 would easily exceed if not limited?
Take a driving/racing school class and learn to drive at speed and control and then talk about spending many many many thousands of dollars on V12 Mercedes engines
Or build a japanese 2JZ I hear they are real cheap engines that produce a bunch o power,cheaply

Yeah I've actually seen that before, it's some piece of work, but it was all custom built... Lots of work. I think the H&M Springs look good for a start or Eibach Lowering kit. Think is my driveway bump is pretty tall and I fear that if I lowered it more the bottom would scrape. Anyone know of any exhaust, and not just a tip...
