I have had a lot of cars but the E63 is by far the best car I have ever owned. I still can't get over the power.

And a few companies are coming out with very exciting mods pretty soon: intake, headers, under-drive pulley, exhaust, cams, and of course ECU tuing. Should be easily around 580 to 600 hp

Enjoy the beast.....

Welcome! And above all else, it's still a luxury car - only with a 'tude.

I'm not sure what it is, but its very easy to remove, and it adds a little power. The best bag for the buck I guess. Lol. Do a search, something should come up.

Congrats BTW, and let me be the first to say, PICS OR BAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure you can duplicate the problem before going back as they dont fix anything if you cant prove its broke.

boy it's a shame. It's now doing it every other time I back the car out of the garage. It is so bad now that the tranny locks when backing out and putting it in drive. The car dies instantly. 750 miles on this thing and it's falling apart. Sucks.

I'll just take it into the dealer. I'm sure it's just a bad part on the tranny or something. This actually did it the second day I had the car. I was just hoping it was a freak thing and would not happen again. I guess it is good now that it is doing it more so that the dealer can diagnose it and fix it. This is just not expected on a new 100K car. Oh well that's life.
