+1

117 is moving pretty well (very consistent)

116 for the SL55 is pretty good as well. You can see the VRP package paying off..

He's been there and done that with a wasted E55 engine to prove it.

Yup, he's one of the good guys.

Cool to have to light hearted fun with a Bimmer guy instead of the violent warfare with Gustav.

It's a couple of years ago, bad ecu tuning job, I think a rod got bent. The engine ended up at a DFW shop to be rebuilt.

He can provide details.

Thank you very much

This forum and everyone on it is why I've become a car nut! It all started with the E55 and you folks. I'm sure I'll have another benz in the garage soon. Those CL65's are looking mighty tasty at their currently used prices.

Cheers,

Darren

I cracked a ring lands on one (or maybe two, can't remember now) of my pistons back when I had my E55. I think it was due to a poor ECU tune with the ASP pulley.

Sucks, way to much timing.
