Hello everybody! Just wanted to introduce my self to the forum. I've been lurking for quite some time, even before I purchased the car, the information here is endless so I want to thank the forum for that. I am a searcher so I probably won't be posting much, I may just use this intro thread as my progress thread too.

A little but about my self, I am definitely a DIY'er and have never really taken my car into a shop. On my previous car I've done everything, filter changes, clutches, head gaskets, engine replacements, etc. And I enjoy going to the track, mostly quarter mile.

I've already gotten my hands dirty with the E55, the only thing I have replaced so far is the infamous IC pump with a CM30 and added some lowering links. As far as plans for the car just the regular stuff, hopefully tune, pulley, headers, etc.

Here are some pics of a regular E55 which you guys have seen thousands of times and a couple of videos of the car at the track, I yelled "beautiful" because I saw the 1.89 60' on the board haha. I was impressed with the 12.6@114.6 seems like it is performing well for a pretty much stock 10 year old car

Both of these runs were against my buddy's 2013 M3.




And here are some random iPhone shots

Glad you enjoyed them, you're welcome!

I know it's been so warm out this season, the day I went was nice like high 50's low 60's which is why I think I ran a good time. My goal is to run times like yours in your sig, I'd love to be trapping in the 120's!
