upgrades
Hi everyone, first off i would like to say hi. I am new to this site and i just bought an 04 E55 to add to my car collection.
The car came with k&n filters and a cat back exhaust. It has 110k miles on the car i dont want to go crazy but woukd like ti do a tune and pully. Without making many changes what woukd be my best solution as this car will be the daily driver. And where to buy the parts and who to get the tune from. With the addition of the tune and pully from the little i read on here it looks like a better water pump and intercooler are a must and also where to get them from thanks guys and so far i love the car much better than my 06 sts-v

Oh I also forgot I'm guessing I should give her a tune up so which plugs, wires, and coil kit to use.

E55
get the bosch 010 pump, make sure fuel pumps/filter are new especially before modding or wot pulls, get ngk plugs one step colder than stock, forget wires and coils unless you have a misfire/rough idle, personally instead of pulley and tune i would do headers and tune. eurocharged has their mid length headers on a group buy for $620 (i paid 800)....these are great i just installed them and they fit well.

Part number on plugs and what if I do headers and pull would I need to make any upgrades on injectors or fuel pump

E55
pump:
depends on what pulley you want but the stock fuel system is ok for headers,tune,and mild pulley. dont forget with any pulley you will want a bigger heat exchangers as well.

Rocman's given you some solid information above. Bosch pump, Heatexchange. Headers, Tune. Eurocharged have the best priced mids at the moment and happen to have one of the best canned tunes also. Maybe do a second res delete and x-pipe while the headers are going in and you'll be loving it.

H-Pipe huh, I'd be interested to hear some opinions there as pretty well all E55ers go with the X-Pipe.
As for the pulley I would go for a crank instead of sc pulley for more power, reliability and a stronger more solid feel. Having said that a clutchless sc pulley would be fun although sometimes there are tuning issues and it will wear down your supercharger quicker.
