First...welcome aboard. Search is your friend on this subject since it's been dealt with pretty often...search under Kleeman K1, VRP550, Evosport.

If you don't want to go that route then work on reducing your unsprung weight by getting lighter wheels and lighter rotors. You could add a sprintbooster to give you the perception of quicker throttle response (i.e. seems faster).

Good luck...

I'm not sure about where to get it done in NY, but I'm sure another board member will chime in...

I do not believe getting aftermarket rims or adding lighter rotors will jeopardize the warranty. The sprintbooster is a plug and play device and you can remove it prior to any service.

I agree with you. I usually like to give some leads and then they can run off and have some key words to look up. It took me 3 years to understand the E55 enough to know what mods i wanted. Last thing OP wants is to do a search and buy based on outdated info.
