Question

Hey, I was just over at Knauz and my salesman David told me they had a C32 with some Renntech stuff on it, was that yours? If so, what parts did you have, and how did you like them?

e55
Absent , how much will the new renntech ECU and pulley kit cost on the E55? Did you dyno your C32 before and after your renntech mods? Were you satisfied with the gains, any reliability issues with rennteh mods? Also if you do not mind, do you have a contact person in service at Knauz just in case I decide to modify in the future with renntech. Any warranty issues ever arise with your renntech mods?

Thanks, and enjoy your e55.

Springs,ECU and pulley.Were installed on a brand new car,did not dyno it,hence I don't know if there was any improvement.
Car was driven carefully for a 1000 miles ,then I opened up(did not top at 175mph on the Edens,still could go faster,but even at 4 am I ran out of space.)
If it is black/black with no xenons then it is my former ride.
