1991 964 Turbo, 2002 Black E55, 2002 Black E55 " The Beast"- 2014 E63s
1997 E60 RS

Have few questions though

How is this wide body installed, just the flares or the whole panels especially the rears?
What about the transmission 722.6 vs 722.2 that our cars are equipped with ?

If you look at one of the videos, the transmission feels and sounds pretty crisp.

Can't watch the videos at work, but these seem to go for a pretty penny! I'm not sure if it's worth paying the money for a 6L car vs a 5.4L car and having a bunch of cash left over, but that's just me...

I think the E55'shave the 722.6 transmission (same as the 996 Turbo), but I can't remember if the earlier W210 cars had that or not. IIRC, the E60s are E420's M119 bored out to 6.0L. Some people say they like how the M119 makes power vs. the M113, but I haven't driven an M119 to comment.

Someone in the comments did say it was running a 722.6, but not sure if that was stock or replacement...
