Cool purchase another car to complement the wagon...

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?

either way, your ride looks great!

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.

~ 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:
