Engine swap??

Hey guys noob here, I own a 2009 C230 and I'm wondering if a C63 motor would fit in it. If not what are the best options to make my car gain power?

Not sure but the C63 has the battery in the trunk instead. Gives you an idea of how big that engine is

How much for the engine? Trans is useless.

You think the stock C300 transmission can handle the torque from the 6.2 V8?
I was told the transmissions are coded to the vin and cannot be swapped (can anyone confirm). Is that what you are referring to?

To the OP- besides the cost of the engine, transmission, exhaust, and other parts, you will have to replace the bumper, hood, front fenders and rear valance. Probably leaving things out but the point is made.

No the intentions is to put it in a 190 with a manual trans. Its pointless to swap in a w204, I would just buy a c63.
