I found this E500 on Craig's List here in AZ while searching for E55's. I've never heard of these mods and amount $$ sunken into a E500.

Let me know your thoughts....

Yep, Kleemann sells the package that the seller describes.

It would take some tuning to achieve 600 bhp/500 rwhp but it's possible.
