E55 showcar first pass 11.6 117mph
On more then half tank of gas, longtube headers catless,550cc onestepcolder 77fixed Race IQ canned tune only. 19 inch rims, plm heat exchanger. 275 continental I did a great burnout took my time since EnglishTown closed early I got only one pass I was like let me get them really warm. I think I can improve with lighter rims and maybe we can crank up the timing a little with a dyno tune. Car was extremely problematic with the fixed pulley but got it sorted with another file, just dealing with electrical issues fml. Car is usually used for show events my Instagram is @alen_germoney I post a lot of content about the build. Car is lowered via lowering module and is on rennen 19 inch CSL3 rims. I did a full e63 conversion tailigths and headlights just left the front bumper because it was a PITA. Full carbon fiber, mirrors diffuser front bumper. I'm not touching 82 TB Bc this car is so whack when it comes to tuning and everyone gives u poor advice, run into a hiccup and u will be pulling ur hair.

The 19" wheels are beautiful, but they must be at least 30 lbs slowing down your track times.
Since you obviously put so much into your car, why not get an ultralight wheel and go with 18" or even 17"?
When I have gone with lighter wheels it has been night and day difference in terms of acceleration and handling!

I was going to so many show car events I never thought I'd put more boost in the car. Now I'm addicted and I have looked into that idea, I asked for a clk320 drag setup but nobody would sell me them lmfao so I'm planning something out, I do a lot of roll racing in Mexico lol but a lot of guys here don't like Mexico if u catch my drift so idk how 17's would drive around bends and turns it's a slippery slope in my head. But I agree with you and I have looked into that I just can't put together a setup as of now and I spent so much money on the car and owned the car Since Jan bought it bone stock

The first month I owned my 2006 cls500 (ie, I post to the w211 as well as the w219 forum due to the similarities in the chassis), the airstruts blew.
I did the repair myself but it was still expensive and a pain.
Then the crankshaft sensor went just the other day, and I think the changeover valve on the heat is going too.
I spend a ton of time either repairing or modding the car.
My wife hates this car, I both love and hate it.

I'd say that is the perfect way to describe the relationship with our cars.
