2012 c250 coupe vs sedan throttle response/acceleration
So I just dropped my 2012 c250 coupe off for a blown center speaker and they gave me a 2012 c250 sedan loaner.
Interesting thing is that I definitely noticed right away that the sedan has much better throttle response and low end acceleration than my coupe. Also the turbo lag isn't as bad. Driving the loaner makes me feel like there is something wrong with my car.
I do have the BMS intake and tune installed on my coupe. Maybe the intake is killing me on lower RPMs or maybe there is something wrong with my car? I will try removing intake when I get my car back.
Anyone driven the coupe and sedan and experience the same?

Also not to complain but I felt like the intake wasn't doing a whole lot of good for me when I had it on the car.

The 2012 loaner I have only has 10k miles on it so maybe it is a later build that has different ecu/turbo settings.
Do you mean that the intake was decreasing performance or just not having any gains at all?
