New E55 owner

Hi, my brother has bought an E55 2003 from California from 3-4 months,
we have received it from 2 weeks cause of the shipping to Lebanon then to repair it, now the car has finished.
I want to know if i can find the previous owner of this car (maybe on this forum), cause i want to know which tune is on this car.
This is an 2003 E55 gray with black/blue seats and 19" OEM black painted rims, vin# WDBUF76JX3A277213, salvage car front impact.
As modes, this car has K&N air filters, ASP 181mm pulley kit and a tune,
I just found that this car is not running like it should, i installed the LM-1 wide band on it and found that the A/F ratio is 9.7 to 10 after primary cats, this mean that the car is running too rich which is the cause of loosing power, because of that i want to find the previous owner if i can and find which tune is installed to do a retune.
Thanks.

Good luck but when you mess with salvage your asking for trouble. If you research the VIN it doesn't give you any info before the crash?

Carfax says that the car was registered(Title) in Hayward, CA and the service contract at Service Plan CO, Las vegas, NV.
Thanks.

I have changed the IC pump but the issue is with the tune (A/F = 9.7) too rich!!!

I'm guessing that with that A/F you aren't tuned.

We see these cars dumping fuel when boost is increased without commensurate tuning.

When a car is tuned in USA, the speed limiter at 155mph must be deleted or it is not a rule?

Showing pics of the car may trigger member's memory than posting the VIN (heck, I don't even remember my VIN ).

Hayward, CA..... not many (previous) E55 owners register in this forum from SF Bay Area so chances are your bro's car's previous owner is also not registered.

Speed limiter is adjusted, up or down, per individual customer request.
