S63 COUPE M157
Update: 600 miles were driven, relatively hard, but under 5k RPM. So far, everything is working well, literally no oil consumption.

Wow, what a wild ride you've been on GMBALL! Reading through this thread, and several others, has nearly convinced me not to tune my car (had planned on going Weistec)... which sucks, because I was very much looking forward to it. Best of luck with the new setup and working out the bugs. I hope after it's all said and done your interest in the car is re-invigorated and you want to keep it. But if I'm being honest, I absolutely would understand if you just wanted it gone.

S63 COUPE M157
Thanks man. I still have it. Covered already 1500 miles. Literally no oil consumption at all, which is amazing. Also after a day of multiple WOT runs my exhaust tips are as chrome as new, before they got black really fast. Car also feels more powerful. Honestly this is how it was supposed to be in the beginning. And yeah, maybe a light tune would be okay, but anything close to stage 2 without internals is a risk.
