Default My new MT E61!!

After about a year of searching, I was finally able to find a reasonably priced 2010 E61 with the MT! Had ~85K but it's in decent shape and after I throw on some 19" Miro 111's - I'm gonna be pumped.

BTW: anyone in the NY area want 17" 309's with decent tire tread I'm replacing? I'd sell them for $400.

Here are the pics so far:

Welcome to the forum, congrats on the nice looking wagon, I like the new wheels...you need to add a couple of pictures of those here now ;-)

Start thinking about MHD to improve your performance.

what is MHD and how much does it improve performance without sacrificing additional wear and tear on the car?

MHD is a performance tune you can program into your car using an Android device. It can give you 50-60 HP at the most conservative tune and about 150-160HP at the most aggressive tune using E85. The lowest setting is that one with the least additional wear and tear on the car. The cost depends on modules and if you have an Android device of not. I think the Stage 1 tune is like $50-60 bucks, plus a $40 cable, so you can get it done really cheap.
