E55 AMG on Ethanol-Meth; 600rwhp BMW M5
Red face -*-*-*-PROJECT FRANKENSTEIN-*-*-*-

We started a build last week that we are going to be documenting here in the W211 E55 section since most of the speed freaks reside here
It will also be stationed in the G55 section since it is specific to that vehicle.

The Subject:

G55 AMG with M113K motor will receive the following modifications by BIP:
  • BIP Sleeved block
  • Forged Ross Pistons
  • Kleeman cams
  • BIP Ported and Polished Heads
  • BIP Port matched runners
  • MBH Headers
  • 195mm ASP Pulley kit
  • 82mm Throttle body kit
  • BIP Split cooling system with custom aluminum expansion water tank mounted in the engine bay
  • Aftermarket fueling with fuel pressure port
  • BIP tuning by TONY LAWSHEE

No SUV will ever be as cool as the G Class.

Yes he is a local customer of ours. I believe there was a elongated period of time between oil changes, and opted for an all out build this time round.

No aftermarket rods while you're in there? Good luck.

Just so I know it's been said, the G class is the ugliest car ever! Good luck with the build, can't wait to see it down the strip.

Arguing opinions isn't going to get us anywhere.

However, for the sake of an answer....I prefer an X5M, 1st gen SRT Jeep or even an LM002, if you want to go wild. I just think the G-class is way too boxy and utilitarian. It's body has no soul. It's a crate on wheels.

And this too, but slightly modified....

No SUV will ever be uglier than a Pontiac Aztek, if you can call it an SUV.

Oh I forgot about the Aztek, I like to think of it as the attractive alternative to the G class

Come on those SUV's are not even in the same league as the G-wagon. No soul? It has how many decades of soul!!

No soul? Have you ever been in/drove one?

See, I would never get a Jeep, so our opinions are on the compete opposite side.

Just to clarify, don't get my opinion of it's styling confused with how it drives or functions. That's a completely different subject.

I never thought about owning one either, until I got to ride in one. Compared to the rest of the performance SUV market, it was good "cheap" fun.

No soul? The car is MADE of character. Look at the reputation it has, a black G55 just looks like the mafia or the Russian FSB going through. It has this extreme intimidation about it and the exhaust sound is just unmatched. Extremely bassy and deep and just muscular. The car oozes of masculinity, the X5 is just an ugly looking BMW which you rarely tell from the crowd. At least give equal examples to the G55 like the first generation Porsche Cayenne (the new one looks like a KIA) or the Mercedes ML63 but a BMW X5? I'm sorry but those cars will never intimidate and let's face it if you drive an SUV you're either a soccer mom or a mafia boss Rarely do people actually off-road these things, why risk the money when a cheap crappy Landcruiser will go where none of these will.
