2012 GL350
New Bluetec build

Hi - Picked up a 2012 350 last night at a great price and I'm already set to mod it. I plane to do a M1 Lowering Module, ecu upgrade and DPF delete and exhuast. I also would like to get a better steering wheel - anyone have a source? Here's a pic. Cheers.

Got a Racechip box for sale that was installed in a bluetec E class but works on all bluetec engines. Comes in original box with instructions and all hardware(10 min installation) and gives 38hp and like 60 more pounds of tourqe plus my cousin noticed fuel economy improvement. Let me know good way to start the moding. Check them out at Racechip.com for more info.

Good to hear from you I'm leasing a 2010 IS250 AWD and to be honest they made it closer to a BMW 3 series than anything else in the suspention department otherwise for 41 grand new I rather get in to a C class. Lexus has a really small interior but nicely done accept for the green colored clock they put in the center colum lol...it bothers me so much that I put a sticker over it. Plus I still think the w210 and the CLK from same years are the pretties cars on the road , see you around.

Not sure about the CLK but the 210 may be the most dependable Mercedes ever built.
