So I recently acquired an E92 M3 to accompany my Caterham on the track and I've been driving it around for a few days, I hadn't used my E63 for a couple of weeks, but jumping back into it today made me realise just how brutally powerful it is and how easy it just hurls itself at the horizon...
I am trying to identify which was the last low tech merc diesel that did not require an engine managemnet system/ ecu.
I had a w124 5 cyl 250 non turbo mid 80`s -certainly that only needed a fuel supply and wire to the fuel solenoid to run. but was not powerful. was there a later engine, that...

Could you get an S55 K AMG?
The S55 and the S600 seem...
I had my ATF and filter changed at a garage yesterday.
What a difference. I used to avoid kickdown because it took over a second to spin up and felt like clutch slip with the transmission, sounded good but just lacked power. Now its powerful enough to spin the back wheels in the wet kicking...
Another one of those stupid work arguments started off by someone who fancies a VW Tourag with a W10 engine.

Not ****d about any bullshit power gains just want to fill the gap in my rear bumper
