E63
People love the "use search function" reply. It kind of annoys me that people take the time to give rhetorical answers.

Anyways I've had difficulty finding upgrades for the E63. The best I've seen are the ECU upgrades, exhaust, and the Carbino air intakes. However I've decided to go with just cosmetic updates since I paid for the extended warranty and don't want to void any of it.

What is annoying is newbies who ask questions that have already been answered in numerous different ways before!

As a owner of an 07 E63, these cars are really expensive to make them go and handle better. The cost of the endeavor will kill your wallet, but the only real options, are ECU tune, pulleys, air intake/filters, headers well their not cheap. A good company if you can afford them is www.evosport.com they have a whole range of parts for the 6.3, understand there not cheap by any means. Hope that helps

you will feel a slight decrease in low end TQ with this mod but will see more in a upper rpm range . I realized it about 3000 rpms .

Low cost mods don't exist for these cars.
Edit: ones that make HP, that is...

+100000.... it is as if the only people who can ask a question are the people who asked the question in the past.

WTF?

This could easily be the best answer.

BS. There are a lot of people that want quick answers to questions that have been asked a thousand times. Search is a legit response to most questions asked. There have been numerous times that I could have asked a question to get a quick answer to a question, but searched instead and found my answer. Point...don't be lazy.

This kind of response is worse than one who asks for the information. Come on man, next time try to help people out rather than being a d!ck. Sheesh.

Well parts on AMG's are pretty expensive in general. I would highly recommend a tune if you are willing to spend the money.
