a few questions about the e55

Im about to buy a 05-06 e55 and have a few questions.

What kind of mpg city do these cars really get on stock boost?
What kind of price should i expect for pulley/tune?
What kind of power will just a pulley / tune yeld?
What kind of blower is on the e55 roots or twinscrew?

What kind of after maket Audio can you use on non nav cars?
How is hte stock audio?
Any major issues i should worry about?
Anyone have a pic of a black car with black rims/ chrome lip ?

Thanks for any help.

Also if anyone is intrested im selling a 2003 harley f150 to make space for the e55. The truck is modded 620rwhp / 650trq and runs 11's. I have 80k invested in the truck but selling for 30k

e55
i know what the listed mpg is but was asking real world since boost changes the fuel trims.

no need to be a jackass about the search.

Just make sure you get a warranty and you should be fine.

Intercooler pumps have gone bad on just about everyone and Mercedes is still playing dumb about it. Yet, near all stealers are replacing them under warranty so you should be fine.

Other than that, cars have been pretty solid.

Hey.....

You will probably get 15-18mpg in regular driving and 6-7 at the track.

We do ECU/pulley work...PM me or check the web site for pricing.

We are also doing package pricing for Brembo brakes and ECU/pulley packages.

Our ECU yields betwwen 45-55hp and the ECU/pulley set up is 80+. Whichever you pick, you won't be upset with the result!

Let me know if you have any other questions

thanks guys, that helps. I'm still trying to find a loaded car with a clean car fax. Seems like hte prices are all over the place (36k-70k) but im in no rush. Also seems hard to find nav on the 03-04 cars. Does the nav have aux in for an ipod?

When i do get the car i will be calling for the pulley and tune


Thanks again

Nav came in 2004 and was a rare option.

Where are you located?

When driving mine hard around town and on the highway the mileage is less than 10. It takes a light foot to get 18 and none of us drive that way.

9 - 12

$3000

What kind of power will just a pulley / tune yeld?
about 50HP and 50TQ

What kind of blower is on the e55 roots or twinscrew?
Roots

What kind of after maket Audio can you use on non nav cars?
Nav is irrelevent to audio upgrades. Reus makes an upgrade. You can also just add an amp and sub for best bang.

How is hte stock audio?
****ty

Any major issues i should worry about?
Having a warranty

Anyone have a pic of a black car with black rims/ chrome lip ?
Polished lip, but see sig.

Thanks for any help.
Get it! If you get an '05, get the latest production date as some parts were still getting swapped.
