Hello all. Just aquired my long awaited e55 AMG. 2006 53000K. condition is beyond perfect. owner took outrageous care, it still smells new.
Im still in discovery mode but I believe it has almost every possible option. The dynamic seats are awesome!
It was listed as having eurocharged 180mm pully/ecu tune upgrade done.

I would normally always do intake/pully/exhaust upgrades so this is cool that its done already ! Im not sure if there are any further upgraes that are worth while ??
My first experience merging onto the pike scared the #*@* out of me. Never have experience such a violently fast car.. ever...

look forward to the forum interactions

congratz. there are many many many upgrades worth while. it all depends how much power you need.


search up .. you got lots to read.


have fun with new beast !

Congrats! I'm originally from MA and have family out near Amherst. There are a couple of MA/NE guys on this board and I'm sure they will chime in soon. Enjoy the power! Sounds like you found a really nice example.

Search all about cooling for these cars. I.E. upgraded heat exchangers, coolant pumps, split cooling and the likes. Since you are already modded maintaining cooling is paramount. Also, consider looking into getting data logging equipment. Cheap insurance to know what your beast is doing so you know when to pull back and not damage a very expensive power plant.

Congrats. Was this the one that was posted on craigslist? Pewter is an underrated color on these cars, looks clean.

Looks clean! Like you I'm trying to catch-up on the mods available quickly. I've owned mine for less than a week

Looks like an exceptional car, very clean!

Cooling: IC pump, big HE, split the cooling, Power: Headers (in this order) - You'll be all set.

Welcome -

Isn't nice to merge / or pass cars getting ON the highway?

fergsc32

no this was not on craigslist...it was a high end dealer that had this car traded in for somethign like a 100,000 ZR1

fergsc32

I took it to my local indie... Im having the belts replaced just because its got 54k and with the power it has I fugured what the heck.
All the shop guys were stunned. My guy said he had never seen a more perfect conditioned car

fergsc32

its got the pully kit upgrade already and the ecu tune.

Congrats and enjoy it in good health.

Since you have a pulley upgrade I'd assume that the owner already changed the IC pump.

If not do it right away. 100$~ a pop. Then get a bigger H/E .

fergsc32

I was toild it has a Johnson IC pump from Eurocharged. What i still am trying to find out though is what pully it has..172 or 180.. looking on the site, why would one go with one vs the other The power estimates are almost exact.
I also am wondering about the belts, do the kits require different belts, or do the stock belts work fine.. i ask as i am having new belts on right now !

Congrats! I just picked up one 2 weeks ago, 04 E55 with 65k miles on it.

Congratulations! Awesome Pewter color!!!

fergsc32

ya .. i didnt even know it was pewter until i showed up...i had assumed it was the platinum... I was actually much much happier with the pewter..especially as paired with the black wheels. Also, ive never see the color before... its insane in the sun.. even changes color..
