New E55 Owner In Maryland

Hey guys, been a member for a while but never introduced myself. Sold my 190 2.3 16v here some years back. I've recently purchased a new to me 2005 E55 that so far is just blowing me away with the power. Couple odds and ends issues that need to be addressed, but nothing major.

Thanks! I'm also looking for someone with access to STAR. I need to disable the TPMS due to the after market wheels.

Why not just get aftermarket TPMS Sensors for your wheels?

I would prefer just to disable them, as I don't think they are entirely necessary.

So the car already has a 185mm crank pulley, Euro Charged heat exchanger, belt wrap, Johnson Pump and split cooling. It has a tune on it, but I don't know anything about it, and feel a little uncomfortable not knowing how the car was tuned. I'll probably re-tune it, including the TCU, do larger 550cc injectors and perhaps some longtube headers. But I do daily drive the car, and i'm in Real Estate, so I need to keep it somewhat mild.
