your best bet is a kleemann supercharger...they go for around 5-7k. but then your better off just trading in your car and buying a c32.

THE C350
ruski707 you bought the wrong car end of story. i love my c320 and think the power is fine as a daily driver but i would kill for a c55 or slk55. but that v8 wont give my the 32mpg that the v6 will.

i averaged around 15mpg during the summer with my 320... 32mpg seems impossible... the most i got was around 25 on highway, under 80 kph, and it was a(descending) highway : my foot was less than 50% of the times on the accelerator, and when it was, i was applying a very small pressure...
if i turn it off it wont even get 32mpg

It's like my 230 V6... the 350 gets better mileage because you don't have to push the engine nearly as hard.

Guess you have to have the special touch but i can do it driving out to my mothers house every trip if i keep my speeds down which is torture. keep the cruise control locked on 72-74 easily gets me 30+ can't find the 32 exact one but whatever close enough. oh and i have checked my computers accuracy and it is usually low out of the 12 times i tested it was low 10 and over by .1 the other 2 times. lol

14mpg in the city? I get 17-19 in the city and in the highway I get around 30+

...Oh and Rusky the 320 and the 240 are pretty slow cars, for the money it's cheaper to sell you're 320 and buy a C32 or save a little bit more and hop in that C55.

just my 0.02
