There's a link to one of the systems i'm thinking about installing. I'm also looking to get a purge kit and a small shot of nitrous, not too much because I don't want to damage the mechanics of the car. Trying to get some more performance out of it, i'm about to send the ecu in to get tuned and delimited, i'd also like some info on where i should send it to. Don't wanna get jipped.

So funny! the W124's 500E/E500 comes with cryo fuel system from factory the fuel runs inside a little tank round the A/C low pressure (cold) hose this will give you 1-2 hp to counter-rest the little little lose of power by the compressor resistance ON (when you run with AC. But i asure you, you cannot feel the difference with or without this system... Only perceptible in a dyno test. But in this case (Aftermarket application) you really lose a little of performance with this system cause the weigh.. you win 1-2 hp and your car got 5-6 kg more :S is a wast of time and money to me...

without extensive mods hates laughing gas. Even modded don't like much.
Chip tunes waste of your money.
Sell car ,buy E55 or lower car rim it on 18's and call it good.
Have you had it up over 130mph? If not what are you looking for in performance?

I've had my car up to 155. I want the limiter removed at the very least. I know the transmissions don't enjoy nitrous too much. I was looking at a few co2 systems, and I was planning on only using a small shot. I've never used a co2 system before, and don't know if they're even worth it.

speedo is off. 430 is limited to 150 4matic even lower.It's lugging around about 200 more pounds.
sell it and get an E55

I'm actually thinking about selling it and getting a 03 to 06 s600. The v12 mercedes sedan has pretty much been my dream car since I could drive. I no longer want the "old version" I used to love, but I really like the styling on the 03 to 06. I'm definately considering buying one. I just put 3 grand into my e430 at a mercedes indy that I happen to be close freinds with. He charged me cost for everything, and did a full car inspection and replaced any malfunctioning parts. My car is currently tip top shape, and I am DEFINATELY considering selling it. I've found a couple s600's that I really like, one in particular that is pearl white and has alot of chrome.. Very clean, low miles, and well taken care of. Can't purchase it till this cars gone though!

Look up common problems on those cars, I don't have firsthand experience with them of course, but I can tell you Air Suspension never works, it's always the pump or the shocks leaking(had several of them in the shop) and the rest doesn't fair much better, they're reputed to be less reliable than our cars and that really says something, also depending on where you live rust could be a major problem. It's for a reason that they cost less than the W211 E class

A good friend is one of the countries top MB techs,told me a few years ago he would strangle his brother if he had a brother if he ever thought about that model S classe. Be prepared for some big bills.

It's not going to be a daily driver, It's going to be a take out on the weekends kind of car. I'm found another e430 for 3000 that I already gave a thorough inspection on. It was dealer owned and well maintained. I'm gonna drive that daily and take the s600 out to "pimp around".
