purchase another car to complement the wagon...

andrew 330i · 04-25-2015, 05:43 PM

I thought I'd share some pics... 2015 E400 Coupe...

Added some subtle mods of course... full clear bra, lowering springs, 50% window tint on all windows, debadged, 19" staggered wheels, painted grill gloss black, dust free brake pads, etc...

Loving it so far... and with 329 hp (bi-turbo V6) ... it moves pretty well with specs of 0-60 in 4.9 seconds with the all wheel drive along with a nice throaty exhaust note.

if you don't mind me asking, how much was the ecu upgrade?

i'm not sure if i like this interior or the new one set for '17.

either way, your ride looks great!

I don't think it's making 588 ft lbs.

When I saw the first picture I thought it was an Accord. I'm sorry...

Funny, because the tail lights of the LCI Accord actually mimics the 5 series.

God bless coupes with rear windows that go down. Even if it requires that awkward quarter window.

Love the red interior!

~ thanks! the upgrade is $1,200 and it requires bench work to reprogram (removal for ecu and ship).

~ you are correct... i misquoted the ft lbs ... it is now 533.

hp stock 329 - tuned 448 (+119)

ft lbs stock 354 - tuned 533 (+179)

the twin turbo aspect helps quite a bit and it's now pushing 16 lbs of boost.

see specs below:

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
