Found retailer that carries W204 performance goodies and I won't keep it a secret

Hey everyone.

Straight to the the point. I recently remembered this place that carries MB aftermarket stuff. They list 128 parts for the new W204; including a Kleeman ECU upgrade. Some of the items are W204 specific and some are not. Most of it is Brabus and pretty expensive. Nevertheless, they offer a complete Brabus suspension for $2,200.

I'm sure some of you know of this company. For those of us who didn't not know where to look for parts, it's good news.

I know. It's ridiculous, but it's a start. One of my father's clients is Corsa in Cleveland. He was there today, so I asked him to ask the owner if a system for the W204 would be possible. He indicated they are moving into imports now and had a 2006 (he thought) M3 with their system on it. He's gonna check.

ECU upgrade

ok So I want to type in my cc# for this ECU upgrade, but yesterday I sent them an email, and since its the weekend, I doubt they get back to me till mon, BUT I want to know, how this works, to they have to flash my current one? Any info on this would help. I dont think anyone has bought it, but maybe, I dont think I have read of anyone saying they have though. Ill be the test dumby for sure.

On a naturally aspirated car, an ECU flash doesn't really do much. When I have had previous cars done, the NA ones had a better throttle response and better gas mileage, but only a small increase in hp (6-8). I think our cars are tuned quite well. Id' wait to see if others get proven results before spending the money. Turbo cars is a different story. My Passat was chipped and gained about 40 HP and 50 lbs of tourque. You could definitely feel the difference. It felt like a different car. I was able to switch between stock and chipped programs, so I could do side by side comparisons. As for the C, I am going to focus on handling. To me it's much more rewarding.
