Looking for W211 Kleeman K2 and K3 driver feedback

Looking for feedback from actual owners or actual drivers of W211 Kleeman K2 or K3 mods. 1/4 times, drivability, quirks, likes/dislikes, would you do it all over and any feedback you wish. Thanks and look foward to it.

Stock is great, but tweaked is better!

So I guess everyone TALKS about owning a bad boy modified E55 211 Kleeman or other Stage 1, 2 or 3 but nobody actually OWNS one--this is what I am led to believe judging by the feedback of this Thread. If I'm wrong and there are a bunch of you owners out there who just don't want to reply--please proove me wrong.

I've got the dough.
Looking for actual feedback for those who have pulled the trigger.

Much thanks

Do an E55 forum search on "Kleemann" and you'll find posts from members who have made this mod. The extra "n" can make a big diffo. If you don't get a public response, suggest you PM those owners that are identified in your search results.

BTW, we don't qualify responses based on whether or not you've "got the dough".

Beow,

My point is that I'm serious and qualified to do this today/asap. Thanks for the extra "N".

I have Kleemens stage 2, ECU, headers and pulley. I am getting 501HP and 560 Torque on the Dyno. That's better then what Kleemens advertises. I had a great installer. I love the car with the mods. You really feel the boost in power when you get over 80+ mph. I will not have track results until the summer. I highly recommend it. It is worth every penny.

Rev,

I did the stage 3 about 3 weeks ago with the LSD--very nice. I hear you with the 80+ mph. Things really start happening when you hook up.
