3.8L on the way

My F6I 3.8L Street Performer+ upgrade (with ECU tune) is approaching (fall 2020 at Jake’s facility). No issues with my current 3.2 but I’m looking forward to having a really special car combining the 3.8 with my 2004 550SE. In preparation I’ve upgraded the suspension, made some minor exterior cosmetic changes and refreshed the interior (in progress now).

Coming from a Jaguar XKR (heavy touring GT) I’m looking forward to the hp/torque bump in a much more driver focused car. I’ll still miss that supercharger whine, but the flat six song with the muscle to back it up in a tuned chassis lightweight will make the Jag a distant, yet fond, memory.
