SL55 misha widebody, C63, Bmw M6 ...Ferrari 360-RIP
New E55 owner, new project :)

Hi everyone, new to the forum .. just wanted to show my new project

I bought this last week for really cheap, i was originally gonna get a M5 but i had so much issues with bimmers in the past so i passed on it and got this for amost a third of the price which left alot of room to mod it.

the first day i bought it i had it dropped to my friends shop and did the follwing in literally one day lol -

limo all around, red calipers but then i made him change it to yellow but its school bus yellow now so im gonna make him go darker yellow or maybe green lmao!, I got a really good deal on HRE p40 rims my friend bought a close out deal so he had 20 sets of these for less then half! , lowering links, 12k hid, 8k hid in fog and inner lights, carbon fiber front lip, rear diffuser, wing and roof wing, resonators and second cats removed, new mufflers, same amg tips done in matte black, K&n drop in filters, blacked out top and front grill, blacked out badges, flat hood emblem .. thats all i can remember top of my head but they did a complete make over in a day i was amazed ..

im dropping it off again tomorrow for round 2 - the rims are being painted matte semi gloss black im just not a polished chrome fan, grills will be matte semi gloss black instead pholenic spacers, roof will be matte blacked out,moldings to be blacked out on windows, PLM heat exchanger and cm30 pump, all lights will be blacked out as well ... then im gonna do a baseline run before i get the new goodies -

Im hoping to do a jerry tune and pulley as soon as i get back from sema and looking for some headers? PLM ? or LT ? are there any other mods i can do that you guys can recommend? any input would be great im a noob to the e55


Thanks all, Jamie

Nice man!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome that you are moving so fast with the build!

Go with the long tube headers! Then get a pulley and tune (We have a good deal on the combo now for jerry tune and pulley) and look at injectors!

If you want to start getting power hungry then go to the 82mm throttle body as well.

Last but not least, a good data logger so you can make sure things are as they should be!

Congrats on the purchase adn welcome to the forums!

Your worst nightmare...
Everything looks great! Just not feeling the 2 tone hood....other than that, it looks great, but if it makes you happy, that is all that counts.
