Hello, I have been looking around here for a while. I am in the process of finding a '03-'06 E55 in black for a second daily driver. I have driven a few E55s and was curious if the there was a way to alter shift points and make it shift harder all the time. Also, what bolt on mods do you guys recommend? What is the widest wheel& tire set up you can go with? I am a performance guy and it seems these cars respond pretty well to bolt ons. I sent a PM to Alan but had no responce yet, his car seems to run well. All my other cars are modded and I am looking forward to possibly getting into a E55 also.

thanks in advance,

SW

You own the cars in your list there and are buying a used E55 as a second car? I am not sure I am buying that!

Actually, I am going to use it as another daily driver, I don't drive my M5 in the rain.

I have more cars than I listed..

You got some pics. of your stable?

streetking

Sure, here are a few..

The Lambo and Ford GT are Twin-turboed, the white M5 is a 5.7 Dinan stroker, the blk M5 is my wife's for now, I ordered her a new X5.

Dude, chill. SW is a well known and highly respected member of several other forums. I realize his stable list might make you question if he is a poser, but I assure you he is not. You might want to do a little research before you question things. First aleks' thread and now this one? C'mon man.

SW- welcome. I am no longer in the E55 game, but there are several people on this forum who can help. I would suggest PMing Marcus Frost or Nick55 for starters. Marcus is a dedicated E55 owner who mods his cars and is a wealth of knowledge on the platform. Nick is an MB tech who has done some great work on AMG's for several members of this forum.

Goodluck!

Thanks man, I will do that. I want one because I think they are a great car for the money. I have 2 Police interceptors that I use when I go to the mall or when it might rain. I end up driving them alot. Sunday, my wife and I were going to lunch in the Police car, and she finally said, can we get something else to drive? I was looking around and I thought that a E55 would be perfect, I could modd it and my wife could also drive it.

StreetKing- I definitely have seen you in a few other forums. Very nice stable.

Don't you have 2 super crazy supra's? Might be confusing you if not.

Welcome and in terms of Bolt ons:

Pulley, Long tube headers, 82mm Throtle Body, Front mount Heat echanger, a custom Tune, and you are north of 500whp. It's what most members with strong E's are running. Happy modding.

streetking

Thanks, I sold one of my Supras, the one I still have it the fastest at the mile and fastest 6spd 1/4 mile car.

I do want more than 500whp and still have some tranny concerns.

I knew it was you, The white one is my favorite, It's a beauty. Still have HRE comps on them? Very nice.

No worries on the tranny, I have yet to see an E55 have tranny problems due to power. That is one dept you will not have problems with. There are a few guys running 10's all day and no issues.
I will let them chime in.

SterlingE55

Godspeed got the mods, the tune can adjust shift points, firmness, and torque management. With a stable like that you must dread beautiful days . Least when it rains you have a better idea of what to drive!

Your stable is SIIICCKK...


and welcome!

Seriously, those are some N A S T Y rides! Must be doing good in this shiaty economy! Get an 05-06 and mod the hell out of it! These guys are right,,,sorry,,, I wish I had 1 of your cars!

MasterMoparSB

Wow...what car meet was that?

Oh wait, those are all yours?

Wow...

I bet you get ^that a lot...

Anyhow, welcome to the world of Mercs. You ever look into 500Es? or E60s? My favorites...

Camaro and ZR1 look very menacing. Bigger pulley, tune, headers, throttle body, and cooling package will all greatly improve performance. As for wheels, I run 20x8.5 with 245-30-20 and 20x10 with a 285-25-20 and the car sits perfect. I think I can squeeze a 295 but that's pushing it. GL with your search.

Forget E55, get an Audi R8!! It's great in foul weather.

This guy tried to call out SW, this has to be the joke of the century.

emoving

Actually on this board, you are the joke of the century!

Full Throttle

Please sell your cars ASAP!!!! You just tried to call out one of the most accomplished and well respected enthusiast on the planet. Trust me you are the joke i can promise you that.

emoving

I will, and then I will come to DC and visit a freind Karlson out there. While I am there maybe we could get together for a beer and I could treat you like the little biach that you are as most people on this board would like to do.

Full Throttle

deal you just let me know when and where.

streetking

Thanks, the Camaro has a Magnuson/cam/ headers makes 609rwh.

I need a 4 seater and for a lot less money.

You are too funny, I think there are some people that come on as a poser, so he was trying to find out if I was real or not, no biggie. Btw, your car looks great!

On another note, I am looking for a black E55 with under 45k or so unless its super nice like this one,
