Selling Eurocharged Heat Exchanger
Well I bought this unit and tried to fit it today and I guess on the E55 you have to trim the back of the front bumprt cover so it can clear the mounting brackets for the H/E. In doing this you lose 2 10mm mounting bolts which wouldn't go back in any way due to the H/E thickness. I know the bigger H/E is the best way to recover temps and all but I'm not willing to trim my bumper cover so it is up for sale. I paid $300 shipped during the sale and would like to get that for it so $300 shipped. It has only been test fit and no fluids were put in it, still has cardboard protectors on it as well, brand new.
Let me know if you want it, I accept Paypal.
Regards

If you want to make the H/E work and keep the bumper bolts in all you need to do is make a run to a shop that can weld 2 small aluminum tabs on the top. I bought this Eurocharged H/E from Shardul a few years back (thanks again!) and he or the previous owner had welded flat tabs on the top to mount it to the under side of the bumper (see pics). I just bent a slight "S" shape just to clear the heads of the 10mm bumper bolts you need to leave out.
As you can see by the picture the H/E tabs mount off the bottom of the large bumper bolt. So when I went to mount it I just loosely put the nuts on the hold the H/E in place. Then mounted up the front clip (less the 2 - 10mm bolts). Once the clip is in place (need to have the mesh out) reach up and unscrew one side of the big bumper bolt holding H/E. It will drop 4-5 inches and you can get the the 10mm bumper bolt in place! Lift up put the nut back on and repeat the other side - all bolts in place..and no sag.
And the H/E is flipped - you can see part of the original tab on the back.
Just to note - either hit that big bumper nut (on final assembly) with a impact or butteryfly or the bolt will spin with no way to get to the top of the bolt.

Thanks for the heads up, I may consider this.
