Authentic AMG floormats can be ordered at the dealer. I think I paid about $170 or something. Since your car will be dealer fresh, that would be my suggestion. Im sure Ill see you running around San Diego. There are not that many E55's on the road. I have seen 2 or 3 others while driving around town. All bone stock

Whatever it is, it's probably dirty.
Appreciate the kind words Dennis!!
The brakes are in for the car, we'll be getting them on tonight/tomorrow and getting her under the knife this weekend so I can have it ready for your first time seeing her ever.
I will run out and grab some photos of the engine bay for you guys to notice any additional mods, the car also has the lowering links installed as I've already mentioned to Dennis. I have done a full visual exterior/interior inspection and everything seems to check out, will check the underside when were doing the brakes and ceramic coating the wheels. Also, first sunny day here this week and the dealer sure left some perfect paint for me to work on /sarcasm
Also, looks like the family will be getting one of our own E55s, have the dealer on a search now. My mother saw the car and fell in love, and shes currently searching for a new vehicle to get out of her Mercedes ML.
I'll get back to work now! Pictures soon.

Stock 74mm throttle body. The pulley is aftermarket, you can see the two pins on the front side. Most likely a Kleemann pulley or Renntech.
My guess would be that you have a tune to go along with the pulley, but you never know.
I would suggest changing the plugs and doing either of the following at the same time, cylinder leak down test or compression test. Just to make sure she is healthy before investing too much cash into her. Wish you lot's of luck with her.

I cant tell by the pulley, but its not an ASP.. those are drilled out all around. LP probably nailed it on the head. Set up looks perfect for an out of the box *** kicker, and of course if you want to go crazy, you will be right at home on MB world.
Once you get this thing to San Diego, you should check out the drags they have at Qualcom (every other Friday night). It a lot of fun, you can see how she runs without getting shot by SDPD.

Oh man, this is awesome. Is there an easy way to check for a tune?
And they do rags at Qualcom? That's so close. Definitely see you there sometime soon.
And, of course, I'd like to go moderately crazy with it. MBH headers ordered already, on the list for the s/c pulley, lower pulley done, next would be... TTM fuel rail & injectors or 82mm tb. Then there's the airbox, and... when does it end???

I emailed someone from the RENNTech site with a pic of the pulley to see if they could identify it, but they didn't reply 
I guess I could measure the thing. Will it be measured from the "top" of the grooves or from valley to valley? I'm thinking total "peak" diameter.
Oh, and I just got a place about 4 miles from Qualcom. No heat soak by the time I get there!

That's funny, right after I posted this, I got a reply. Bob Brady confirmed the RENNtech unit has 2 pins in it like mine, but couldn't tell from the picture.
It's the one pulley just a few posts up from here. I'll see if I can get a better pic taken.
Hard to tell from this picture. Ours does have 2 set screws in it like this one, and the ring will say Renntech on it with the following part # 01-113-0200!

There isn't a whole lot of room down there with the fanshroud on. If you feed a cell phone down there while on record you should see Renntech engraved on the face of the outer ring. Check link below for pics.

He provided teaser shots. This is just the polishing without any sealant. I'm like a damn kid on Christmas Eve who just ripped open a tiny portion of the biggest present under the tree. T-minus 24 hours.

It is 1/8th mile with a tree and time slips. Cost is 30 bucks and runs from 6pm to midnight. You can run 50 times if you want. No cost per run. Need a helmet or you can rent one there. The girl scouts make hamburgers and they are good!! Bring $4her for that.

Well, Dennis is currently in the air en route to pick up and see the car for the first time. Here's a little preview to how it turned out, still wrapping it up for his arrival in 5 hours
