Hi. I'm new to the AMG world, only purchasing my first 2004 E55 AMG yesterday (26th Feb 2016). What are the pro's & cons in regards to these pulley upgrades? My E55 has only 19,000 original miles so it's barely run in. Would i need to look at the pulley upgrade already? Cheers.

Yeah i've always wanted a 2004 E55 & waited 3 years before this one came about. I only wanted it in white & low km's (miles). And finally it came. Looks like a new car & drives like one as well. Originally Posted by tlambert

So you think i should keep everything standard for now? What sort of km's (miles) should i wait until i add say a 84mm S/C pulley & tune?
Cheers.

My car had tons of mods already done to it when I bought it with only 56,000 miles.
I recently added a few of the aluminum pulleys to my car. I had some of the OGs that were bad so cost wise it made more sence to use the aftermarket pulleys. They were nice and I Got them from Shardul.
Honestly it is all in what you want since its your car. You will get a lot of different opinions on this for sure.
Some guys will say leave it alone because it's low miles and like new. And some guys will say it will be a great start to do tons of mods to.
I agree with both actually.
The miles shouldn't really matter when you decide to do mods to it. Today people buy new cars and the next day start mods looking for more power and personalizing it to their liking.
Like I said, if you want to do things to enjoy it more go for it! You only need to make yourself happy.
Tons of info on this site to help you.
Post up on your progress! Pics make it better too!

Yeah i had a chat with Shardul. I told him what i use my car for & he recommended the 84mm S/C pulley & a tune. Sounds good to me. Nothing too overkill for my family carrier. Originally Posted by tlambert

I've been down that road of heavily modifying cars & so i've moved on to the E55 to keep my love for performance cars, but not have the super loud & obnoxious V8's & imports i used to drive. At least the E55 comes standard with the big brakes, S/C etc. Fitting those two items alone to my other cars cost an arm and a leg!
I think i'll put a few more miles on the clock then go with the 84mm S/C pulley, Hi Flo air filter & tune. That will be my limit. Maybe the pulleys later on when the OEM ones start to look on their way out.....
Cheers,
Howie.

Thank you Shardul for the BWK and 5 piece idler kit received.
I can't say enough about Shardul's professionalism, timely responses, and experienced help with my car.
A+ in my book for sure.
