What can you do to increase performance of a C350?
I currently own a 2008 Mercedes C300 and I am looking at trading it in for 2012 C350.
With stock specs you get ..
Horsepower (hp @ rpm) 302 @ 6,500
Torque (lb-ft @ rpm) 273 @ 3,500
and 0 - 60 in 5.5 seconds.
Are there any small upgrades you can perform to get try to get the 0 - 60 under 5 seconds?

How much does that typically go for? And where would you go to get it installed/serviced?
Is there website eurocharged.com?
They dont have anything listed for the C350..

As Adi said, you would have to purchase a 2013 C350 or C300 if you want the DI 3.5L m276 engine. The 2013 C300 is the exact same engine as the 2013 C350. I believe that they can both be tuned to 330 hp and 300 tq.
2012 C350 is the same weak M272 engine that is found in your 2008 C300 except in 3.5L and @268 hp, can be tuned to almost 300 hp.

Well, actually, its not. At least not up here in "Canuck land"... LOL. I do indeed have the M276 DI 3.5 V6 in my 2012 C350 (4Matic Sport). In fact, I haven't seen any facelifted 2012 V6 models up here that are not M276. Yes, the C250 are the 2.0T engines, but the remainder are the newer DI engines.

Hello... I have the 2014 C300 Sport 4Matic with 3.5 litter V6. Is it the M276 DI. Where do you find the Engine numbers. Is there a link to it.
How much does Eurocharge cost ? Thanks in advance

I'm going to have eurocharged tune my 2012 c350, after talking to them they had me take a picture of my ecu and send it to them. in 2012 mb used 2 different types of ecu 1 is easy to tune and the other is more work. lucky me i have the one they have to crack open, they said they would do mine for 899.00 normally its more money, this is only for 2012 all later years have the ecu that easily done

FALSE. 2012 C350 RWD is M276. The 4-matics in the US got it a year later.
As for the OP...the 1st best-bang-for-the-buck upgrade is tires. An ECU flash is the 2nd, (and this is speaking from experience).

FYI...the midcycle refresh is why I made my decision to factory order my 2012 in Oct/Nov of 2011, which included the M726 engine, 7G+ transmission, and a redesigned interior. If any of the 3 did not happen, then I would have gone elsewhere (BMW or Infiniti).

Not sure tires are a best bang for the buck for us 4-matics. I've launched the car pretty hard and not even chirped the tires.

My wife has a 2014 c300 and if a tune would bring the power up to 300+ hp/tq then it would be a no brainer.
