E63
Hello from California

One week old E63 in the garage. Miss my 05 E55 already, but all in all, a good trade. Now to see how bulit-proof that 6.3 is!

Welcome aboard. What part of Calif? We can definitely help you see where the weak links are in your car. My personal thought is in the tranny. Lets get some TQ boosting mods and see how she holds.

Any mods yet? A safe one is to cut out the resonator. I've seen it on 2 and both sound GREAT!!

Let me get her safely broken in before redline. Spent 25 years pulling connecting rods out of racing engine blocks that were "redlined" before their time.

After that ... anytime,anywhere,anyhow
