2006 E55
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a 2006 E55 with 18k miles and WOW............. This car is stupid fast.
I had the service advisor drive it and they are going to reprogram the trans. it shifts a little harsh and the brakes or tires vibrate some. It's still under factory warranty so it should not be a problem.
What kind of upgrades do you new E55 brothers recommend?
Thank You

Welcome to the community, but I dont think brakes are covered by any warranty.

Welcome...to the slippery slope called AMG Torque Addiction. I suggest taking about an hour or so and do a search function on the W211 AMG subforum for modifications threads...

Probably a best place to start and to give you a push over that slippery slope...is pulley/ECU (stage 1)...look at Kleeman, Evosport, VRP, Renntech, LET, etc...

After that you can go as far as your wallet, patience, and good sense takes you...G/L. I've already been through the journey you have are starting.....Thank God I made it...

The E55 is by far the most popular Benz ever to power hungry drivers. Such an incredible car! I love mine to death! Enjoy yours, there are tons of stuff you can do to it!!

So why is this the only forum that the search does not work? I have tried many times with no luck.
