Questions about the E55
I am thinking about buying 1, 2004, 53k miles for $44k, is that a good deal?
Also what kind of upgrades can i do to it to make it trap mid to high 120's? I would like it to be at least equal or faster than my M3 right now which is putting down a little over 500whp. I know there is huge weight difference too, without Nitrous is this possible? Thanx

A stage 3 of your choice (don't forget cooling!) with traction should do it.
What kind of ET's accompany your present 120+ traps?
Good luck w/ purchase.

Obviously depending on track and weather condtions,an E55 is capable of trapping 120+ with the basic bolt on parts and ecu tune.Many have done it,not really hard to do.Some have got close with bone stock cars in the perfect condtions of course.
