no mods on this e55. I think its perfect the way it is. I have big plans for my w201 project car tho. just so I can whoop on my buddys E30 bmw just like mercedes did back in the day (on the track)

I dunno where "yawn" and "weak" is coming from.. maybe it has the yawn factor for an E55, but certainly not an 80s designed stock block, turbo bmw 325.
