E63 in progress w/Renntech mods
I still need to paint my front grille and get some bumper plugs. I think I might powder coat my tips black and paint my side markers also. I should be finished with everything else in a couple of weeks.

It makes a very noticeable difference. The tranni seems to shift faster, you feel the power all through out the rev range. The biggest help though, imo, is the added torque.

car looks tough man!
I'm interested in doing the ECU as well,but I'm still a bit wary as to the results.have you had a chance to roll against any 55k's?

Haven't run any 55's. But from my own experience, having owned two E55 sedans and one E55 wagon, it feels equal to my wagon with an ecu and pulley. The wagon hooked up very well due to the extra weight in the rear of the car. The E63 with the ecu and no carbon filters feels just as fast if not faster than my wagon with the ecu and pulley. And I would have to say my wagon was one of my favorite cars I've ever owned. Here is a pic of my wagon.

Keep us posted with the dyno results.
