Driving to Miami!

Hey guy's
I am driving to Miami for work next week. Is there somewhere I can go to get some mods done on my 55? Who would you recommend? What would you do first to a stock 55?

since your going to southern FL I would stop by RENNTech if your pockets allow.... I would do the 180mm pulley from then and the Tune. I would go with someone cheaper for the Heat exchanger. just my .2 cents

For the RENNtech Stage I some where around $4000 - $4500. Could see if they have any specials. The heat exchanger is just what cools your car its located in front behind the grill.

Here is the E55 page. Just call and ask for the prices because I dont think they have updated their site in a while.

Renntech!

Got back from Miami and got the stage one. They said I need a IC pump and mine was weak. The car is still under warranty so to save some money I'll let the dealer replace it.
I understand there is a better pump from MB is that true?
Since there are no codes showing that the pump is not working right I think I may have a problem getting it replaced.
If I were to just upgrade the pump what you you guys recommend?

Nice!!!

What size pulley did you get for your stage 1? Did you feel a big difference or was the failing pump keeping you down?

If you're under warranty have the dealership replace the pump. If you do decide to go with a aftermarket pump many use the CM30 with very little complaints.

Just tell the dealer that the supercharger doesn't kick in after driving for a while. It's the typical symptom of the pump not working.
