New 2003 E55 owner here :)

Just bought my new..used..car. I've had three AMG's in the past, but this is by far my favorite. It isnt loaded up with options but was in my price range. Been on the forum for a couple of years...but never post until now. I think I'm going to be coming down with the mod bug soon too.

So you get your money worth, swap out your IC pump to be safe. Johnson or the upgraded Bosche OEM pump.

I've tinted the windows. Thats about it for the exterior.

I'll look at changing the IC pump out soon then possibly the Kleemann stage 1. Question...should I change out the heat exchanger while I'm doing the IC pump? Is there an advantage to doing both at the same time?

I did a search for it on here and saw that several people had problems with it....apparently once they cut if from the outside they can slip it in without removing the door panel.
