Thinking of turning my E55...

Into a track car. Car would have a complete interior gut done, recaro seats, 4 or 5 point harnesses, coilover conversion, and additional bracing.


Possibly even a pano roof delete.


Opinions?

What I think you should do.go lease4

Sell *ALL* of your fleet, and go lease a brand new SLS.


But take euro delivery of it, so you can run some hot laps with it a few times the Nurburgring and then run it a few times up and down the Autobahn, before you ship it back here.

Drop it off at Munich or Frankfurt, then wait for it to be shipped to California,


Be sure to visit the MB Classic Center in Stuttgart.

Don't forget the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen and to see the BMW facility too!!!

It wold be the experience of a lifetime.

No way! Do not trash your E55. If you want a track car, start with a sports car and not a luxo cruiser. There are plenty of 996's or Corvettes out there that will make a much better track car.
