Greetings ! and a question..
Hello everyone! Just joined as a member though I have been reading the E55 posts for some time. Love the Forum and the quality and tone of the interaction here. I received an '06 Barolo Red E55 AMG (dont have pics yet) gift from Santa this past Christmas - at least that is what I tell my kids!! They believe me ... though I have not convinced the wife about that story yet!
anyway..quick question: though my car is still in the running-in period and it is too soon to start thinking about mods - what is the first mod that you would suggest I think about, if I were to consider mods?
Thanks!

Welcome and congrats on the Christmas gift...Santa must be a carguy! Probably, the first thing to do is reconsider the rubber that is on the car now. You can then open the whole can of worms on the mod issue by just doing a search on the forum for Kleeman, Evosport, RennTech, MKB, etc...
There is so much info on the forum with regards to aesthetic, suspension, engine mods that you should have a nice afternoon of reading.
Good luck and welcome aboard.

Haha. I bought a new motorcycle a few years back and had it stolen the next day at UCSD. They just threw it in the back of a pickup at high neeon. Lots of witnesses all thought it was the owner's bike. Sorry about the joyrider. Hope all else is fine with it. was it just dumped after the ride, or did they "chase" the cat?
