Difference between C200 and C250
Hello,
we all know that W204 C250 (204hp) or C220 (170hp) is Quite more expensive than C200 (136hp) and as I see, it has the same engine 2143ccm. If I manually chiptuning the C200 I can get from 136hp to around 170hp. The same if I chiptuning C220 I can get from 170hp to 210hp, the same for C250, I can get from 205hp to around 240hp. Thats why I was wondering why I can't chiptuning the same much C200 as C250. Where is the main difference? Which parts are different? Otherwise I could chip C220 as much as C250. If only electronic is different I could chip C200 with 136hp as much as C250 to around 250hp. Am I right?
Thank you in advance.

Except that the 180 , 200 and 250 cgi ecu's are still locked and not chiptune able as far as I know. Ive seen a few company saying they unlocked the ech but yet have to see a solid dyno run to back it up.

Tuning C250
I tried tuning my C250 a year and a half ago, ran fine on the dyno but I wasn’t allowed to be in their and had to wait in a waiting room. Almost as soon as I left the wngine light came on, eventually needed a new ECU because even after resetting it, the ECU locked the engine management light on.
Ran 250bhp up from 204bhp, wasn’t really worth it.

Mercedes C250 Coupe
The C250 in my garage - alongside a second German car - is a much more attractive vehicle.
The other car is superbly fuel efficient - most notably on the Interstate.
The C250 is a coupe in Iridium Silver - The other car - a 4 door sedan - is white (and seldom needs washing)
Most of all they have - since new - been free of issues.
