6.0...6.5 thoughts

[Taxi Driver]

I find this Very explanatory, allthough I feel confident in this topic, it's good to hear from the "Guru's mouth"

The difference 6.0 vs 6.5 (6.4) isn't that great alltogether, yes higher torqe a little more power ontop, what
I have seen and figured out, is the very little difference of the "hardware" ie. the inlet parts are of the same
size 5.0 up to 6.0/6.5, the only thing that happened over the yrs is, the upper manifold, made to the E50AMG
the Plenum should have been larger (no space) to make that happen and a newly constructed plenum/runners
was not considdered...

And Rafael, here says at the W210 6.5 it has reached it's limit/breathing, stifeled almost, so...

Rafael Nagy is one of the best M119 specialists, he has done .036 manual transmission kits/swaps also.
I know a German guy from Berlin with a 6.0 liter and manual transmission which has told me about Rafael and his works [emoji106]

The auto generate English subtitles are decent. Although a lot of this stuff is super technical so it isn't ideal.

I didn't realize that was an option. Thanks, Harv!! Figured out how to turn it on, now I'm reading the Engrish...

Well, there is only one way to find out .... Any E60 owners up for a quick sprint this spring ?

Red Baron had a bad cough (misfire) all through 2018 which caused a few awkward moments.. Happy to announce he was cured last month!

We should be finally done this spring.

Glad you got it fixed! What was the root cause of the cough?

Hi Dave,

I will do a video to explain what happened. This was f'ing ridiculous, I had four Mercedes master technicians (including Bernard and Raphael who both saw the car at schoene sterne 2018) try to find a solution, a 2 day diagnostics session at the dealership and a discussion with BRABUS technical department ....

Glad its finally over, though in the process I did learn that there was a certificate of authenticity and tech-spec sheet issued for the Red Baron by Bottrop last Autum..

Ah! Bernhard AND Rafael, I had them confused to be the "alter Ego" to one another, are they working the very same operation?
I was thinking the Limited was the Limited we saw at Brabus Bottrop, are there two silver LTD's now?

No No No.

Bernard of Rastatt (not Bernhard of Ulsby) and Raphael are completely different garages.. nothing to do with each other.

But they were both there in Schoene sterne. Berhard of Ulsby joined me at Retro classics Stuttgart.

It's beginning to clear up, now. wich Berhard was the one connected to Brabus and participated at the 036 meet?

B from Baden Baden I am certain?

Bernhard from Baden-Baden is the one with connections to Brabus, and who participated actively in the .036 meet we all did a few years ago.

I can only, say, thanks again to Ahmad and all of us participating in that event, still has to be surpassed But that

looks to be hiding, far away in the future, I'm sorry to say...

Thanks Roger. Yes its a shame, I tried but there is no serious effort to help nor to participate.

I am now focusing on raising the bar and going all the way with the Red Baron. I keep increasing the level of the car and learn more from every show and Concours I competin in..

Right, Ahmad, on the way to the top there's no point of return, only a matter of time and £$€ at this current price Boom 036 vice...

Yes, I think we need another event of this type in the near future. Indeed it was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And having beers in the hotel meeting you, Taxi Driver !!
