2012 Mercedes Benz C250 ECU tune ?
I just got my 2012 Mercedes Benz C250. Is it worth tuning it ?
I have heard about BMS C250 Performance Intake and JB Plus tuner. Which one is better.
Please advise. Any help is appreciated

Unfortunately I think still to this day, there isn't any tuners offering tunes for this engine. Cause of encryption issues.
Personally I think the JB tuner is worth it, the C.A. intake Im not sold on, I don't see any benefits of sucking hot air into the engine.

C250 2012
it is working well. i only removed it to take my car to the dealership for an ECU update and was too lazy to install it back. i don't really have any need for it anymore and would rather get some of the money back i spent on it.

There are many piggyback tunes offered for our cars, JB being one of them, there's also TMC, speed busters, Swiss Chiptech etc. Then you also have Brabus, Kleeman and Carlsson that offer a more complete package. Depends on your budget but most gains between all the offerings are within the same parameters.

I am running the Carlsson unit. Check my build write up for a full review.
The intake will give minimal performance but it sounds fantastic. Don't be concerned about sucking in hot air. It is a turboed system with an intercooler, the air gets pretty seriously heated up as it goes through the turbo and cooled right down from the intercooler. The difference between engine bay and ambient temperature does nothing to affect the process.

Type on the graph, i believe the BHP and NM categories are to be switched. But this says 52 bhp and 47 NM (34 ft lbs) increase. They also have an ECU flash, only company ive seen to advertise one. But they dont post specific numbers for that product. Sounds like it affects fuel, timing, and boost control.
