once you guys have finalized that a Group Buy is even possible, terms from the vendor etc...you can include me.

Just got off the phone with Rocko at OE tuning!

I have to say that I'm quite pleased with his professionalism and demeanor. He took the time to answer each and every one of my questions thoroughly. It was a pleasant experience speaking with him.

OE says they are offering a 20% discount for their tune, and that brings it to $516 USD. The tune is originally $395, but with the 20% discount it is $316. The flash loader is still $200. Thus, the overall cost is $516. It seems this is the lowest they will go, even with the group buy.

Rocko explained the situation regarding the two members who had unpleasant experiences with their OE tunes and it has helped ease my concerns a little. I believe either he, or Jeremy will chime in on this further.

I think I am still willing to shell out for the tune.

Please let me know if you would like to stay on the group buy list, or opt out.

Yea I don't find it that appealing since that will be $516USD +tax +shipping.
Plus we have 10 members for sure. Plus anyone can get a simple 10% off anything.

Now that you mention it, I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm not entirely sure if the price really is "right".

That's why I'm not ecstatic about it. That's why I only think I am willing to pay $516....and it's the same discount they offered for their black Friday sale almost a year ago for individuals.... that I passed on.
This is a group buy with 10+ customers...

I brought up the fact that this was a 10+ person group buy and Rocko basically told me that they get a large influx of customers every time they put up a sale and that they already have a lot of business...doesn't really sound like they want our business that bad. Makes us sound like small fish compared to the "thousands" (literal quote) of customers they have.

Maybe we are "small fish" compared to all their customers, but I was hoping for $400 USD at the most. Especially since we are all buying in this together.

try calling Eurocharged i am pretty sure they will give you better price with better results + i have never seen a pleasant customer service as they do

Josh.A.Hussey

Does this include the C63 AMG?

SALES@OETUNING

M156 C63 AMG will be $995 with same deal, if you sign-up to group buy.

hachiroku

For specific tunes will we need to contact you directly for what hardware we have on our M156's?

Thanks for putting this together guys! Please include me!

Thanks!

I see a problem with this happening. People on this list range from C250, C300 to C350 with facelift and pre-facelift, yet that price given is referring to a pre-facelift C300. According to their site, They do not offer tunes for C250 before 2012 and C300 after 2011. I myself is very interested, however, given 1 price to range throughout the whole W204 platform excluding C63 is a bit odd. Given that a C250 (2012-) tune cost $795 and a C350 (2012-) cost $695.

tunes are engine configuration specific, so i do not agree with your assessment. maybe those engines are a volume seller and having a set price just makes things eaiser....but...i'm a bit saddened that the price differential is so spread out for the M156.

doesn't matter .... i'd only install an OE tune after doing my research. those guys know their stuff. people offer $395 dollar and $500 dollar tunes for the M156 engine, and i don't care.

SALES@OETUNING

So the deal is this: 20% off Tune Price (any model or year). If your vehicle is supported by an OBD2 flash loader, then this hardware is $200 addition with shipping included in final price. Please PM or contact the shop directly if your car is not listed or you need details specific to your vehicle.

For $500 flat with the 4x map pack, flash loader and included shipping, I'm in.

Rodpwnz

The Eurocharged shop is in a different time zone, so they were closed when I got off work. I'll call them tomorrow whenever I have a break during work or just send them an email.

I'm just on the fence with the OE tune purely because of the price. OE tunes, customer service and professionalism seemed great though.

We'll weigh our options and hopefully come to a decision together.

Adi-Benz

Guys, just a heads up the fact that you're talking for a different brand on a specific company based thread is sort of, "unfriendly" so, do this in private or diff thread?

As for me I am also still on the edge, idk.

Fendmarson

There is no C250 tune. There may be a page and price for the C250 but they don't offer a C250 tune (as does nobody else).

twowheelin

The C250 tune is shown on the OE web site. I am definately interested, but the C250 (2014) tune requires sending in your ECU or visiting their shop, so I'll need to plan this for a time when I'm traveling. I was also very impressed with OE Customer Service! Here

Fendmarson

I received the same response in late 2015, but when pressed if it for sure works on a SIM271 ECU (a 2014 C250 ECU) they responded that it's in development for that model.

Their page is still "in development", there are no dynographs, it would be helpful if they would confirm if a tune is really in the works or if one really has been finished. Such a tune would be literally the first on the market.

SALES@OETUNING

2015+ W205 C250 we have tuning for. Previous models (W204 with SIM271) we do not offer a tune for right now.

Details for the W205 C250 tune can be found here: http://www.oetuning.com/mercedes-benz-c250-2-0-t

I believe this is called competition.

Alfadude

For those that are now on the fence or want to back out because of price after hearing what the cost would be I am just wondering how much off you thought a group buy would be? 20% off seems pretty fair, but that is just my opinion, of course. This isn't like buying a pair of jeans from Kohls. They aren't on the Fortune 500 list of the world's biggest companies. They still have to some make money too.

Adi-Benz

Agreed.

johal

Is this OE tune compatible with a 2012 Mercedes C350?

edgalang

Yes. See sig.
