722.6 5 speed update hurt or help E500E car values?

It depends:
If the upgrade was done well and the programming is such that the shift behavior is equal or better than a factory 722.6 behind an M119, it could help the value, or at least not hurt it.
Anything other than the above, could potentially hurt value... IMO.

I think it'd hurt tbh. Unless it's extremely well done....most people want 124.036 original. If it's a manual conversion or maybe some wizardry with a modern automatic, maybe, but the 722.6 is pretty marginal and you lose some support of the main community.
good insight. so perhaps a clean 722.9 7g tronic speed swap would be more interesting.
722.6 5 speed with new custom TCU flashes has come a long way to make this 5 speed really a good performer.
it seems the 722.6 has come a long way with modern TCU software tweaks and you can even install paddle shifters on the steering wheel. awesome stuff.
