How much do/did you guys get the K2 kit for?
Im tryin to order through my friend who runs a shop....
He said he could get it for 6100 plus $160 shipping....
Is that resonable price???
And what is the retail price from Kleemann?
My last question is the IC Pump upgrade...
Is it included or do i have to pay separately>?
If its separated, how much is it???
Thanks guyz~
P.S: How long does it usually take to get the parts from Kleemann>?

I was quoted $7500 installed. Is yours installed or that price is parts? If it is just parts, you better check your friend status cause it is only about 10% discount.
If you are going Kleeman, I would go to a good shop and pay the extra $1-$2K premium. I know your "friend" is great, but has he installed a K2 on an E55? If not, move on. If so, ask to see the car. The ECU can be sent to Kleeman, but the rest needs to be done right, too.

Thanks Rock& Jangy~~
Im just gettin the parts from my friend..The installation will be done in
Chicago area..(deciding between fall-line motorsports and Chicago part and TUning)
So, Jangy, you are sayin that it is only 10% discount...I guess i should ask my
friend or find a better place to buy the parts...It is 6100 just for the parts by the way.....
If you guyz know any place that i could get it for cheaper price, please let me know....
Rock= You said that the IC pump is not included...So how much is it??? and Will it help alot???
Thanks guyz~~~

As far as I know there is no way to get a discount on the kleemann parts unless it is authorized. Kleemann has strict rules about their pricing. All of the dealers are forced to sell at a set price.
The only way you will get a deal is to get a break on the labour charges.

I called Cory at Kleemann and asked the usually potential buyer questions,he was very helpful on the phone.He gave me a price on the kit installed and also dyon'ed before and after the install I believe.(?)Then I asked if he could recommend a dealer/installer near me that could do the work so I wouldnt have to make the long trip to Colorado.After calling the recommened guy,it was still cheaper to drive the car to Cory's,stay in a motel and drive home.If I decide to go with a Kleemann kit,I think a nice road trip across the states will be nice.

Look up all the tuner websites and specifically get them to give you proof that they will cross cover what MB drops. Period, or don't do it without understanding that you are in risk of voiding your warranty.

Goodbye warranty and no matter what other people here want to say it IS FINAL.

I have friends at the dealer in very high places but thats not fair for me to drag them into the situation just so my car can get modded and go against MB's policy's.Hopefully within a short time I will know if Im going to be able to mod this car or not.If not then I'll buy an 03 E55 in good shape,mod it and not worry about warranty issue's,keep the other one stock.

Just for my infor, why is EVO out? I am on the fence between EVO and RENN. I'm not even considering Kleeman. Kinda funny. My reasoning has nothing to do with quality, but that i am scared of the entire o2 sensor thing.

I knw many dealers do RENN installs, which makes it waaay easier to keep issues real.

So far I dont think my dealer does any aftermarket installs,such as Renntech,Kleemann and such.I still need to check into it more.
