Beautiful ride!

What are the changes with the X50 package? Is it different turbos?

The car is tastefully ordered glad you were not paying 150k, Techart wheels are very heavy. Champion wheels are nice and also licensed by Cargraphic in Europe interms of distribution.

I would go for the OEM hollow spokes.

If I am not mistaken, the X50 package includes:

larger turbos - K16 turbos to K24
larger intercoolers
ecu improvements

Congrats on the new X50! You found a great car with all the right options. The PCCBs and Aerokit are very hard to find options and painfully expensive when new. $84k is a steal for such a highly optioned turbo with CPO.

However, I am sure your old K3 will smoke the X50 to 120. My brother has an X50 with tiptronic and barely beat (when stock) my stock E55 to about 120. If my car had an extra 100 rwhp, I would have easily beat his car. A stock X50 traps anywhere from 116 to 118 in the quarter I believe.

Today is a different story though. After installing an EVO ECU flash, headers and exhaust his car is now making roughly 600 hp at the crank on 100 octane. His car now leaves my car for dead at any speed.

Congrats again!!

Congrats Josh! Car looks awsome! Just need to drop that sucker a little and you're good to go!

Impressions so far? How does it compare to your previous E55 Kleemann?

I think he's talking about the OEM 996 wheel. I don't think the 997 wheel has the same offset - it's not that nice a wheel anyway LOL!

Do I have carbon fiber?? Moi? Carbon Fiber?

Well... Here is a shot of the carbon fiber pieces that are going into my 993TT...

Send me an email with what you need and I'll get the info for you.







This one I didnt get because I am not a big fan of carbon fiber on the outside of the car especially on a light coloured car like my Polar Silver.

Definitely EVOMS. I will probably start with the stage 4 kit which will put me at 600hp. Believe or not, on my car because it is the x50 package all I need to do to get to 600hp is: ECU tune, Exhaust, Diverter valves, wastegate.
