Hello, New AMG owner
Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Joe and I just picked up a '04 E55 AMG, Silver w/ 50k and every option under the sun. I'm sure this is where most of my time will be spent. I look forward to learning from the community.
I just traded in my 2010 Challenger SRT8 (7k on her) for my beautiful new to me sedan. I've owned a few performance oriented vehicles, but nothing like this beast! My only plans as of now are KW coilovers and CM30 IC pump. Later on H/E, 180 pulley, and tune.

Coilovers right off the bat? Damn...that's a pretty pricey early mod. And...call me a ding dong...but I haven't seen too many good pckgs on that.
Start with some other fun stuff IMHO. Small pulley (168-175...and I second the "choose your pulley source wisely" comment!!), tune, and that Heat Exchange upgrade. That won't bite as bad as the coilover conversion - and you'll love it. And DO NOT run from the headers - my headers and my cutouts have been my most favorite so far.
