LOL, just like their $4000 intercooler pump. Must be gold plated.

Kleemann ftw those are some stout numbers.

Ive had my car on Kleemann Dyno in Demmark and it got 613 (that was before I put the cams in for what ever that was worth, mbe 5-10hp?) ... my car is pretty much maxed out in mods at mom so 690 on the same dyno is a massive jump over a modded E55 with many bolt ons etc ... and this is tune only ...

Thats just plain incredible.

Someone ought to TT a 55 think we should see closer to those numbers then. S/C parasytic losses are too much for top end power. Think that should be next phase of mods for die hard 55ers ... for others well choice seems obvious.

700+ HP should be a breeze with bigger I/C or Turbo plumbing refinement , or intake upgrades....

CLS63
Hi All - what is the US price for the Kleemann programming? I looked at Rennteck but 3500 is too steep. Dealer is quoting 2700 for the CLS63 5.5 BT tune...
