The S class was too big for me as a daily driver and the C was too small. I was replacing my A6 and the E was the perfect size. The ironic thing is the fact that I just made that statement, and I drove the C class to work today.

The airmatic is to the E class what gaskets were to the A6. It's only a matter of time before you have to fix/repair them.

That explained allot. Just enjoy the car. Get a tune if you'd like a little more. In a few years you'll become more familiar with these cars and will modify accordingly.

So to get an e500 into the low 13's high 12's would take what, a turbo? Or could it be achieved with minor boltons (header, exhaust, tune, etc)?

you can...you need to buy k&n airfilters first and second buy this chip from eBay called rpm nitro chip..it plugs into the OBD and your rmp will shift all the way down and make it a beast

Does the chip come with a sticker like the K&N rock filter does?
