C250 to v8?
Hello I’ve read of people putting the M273 in their c300 w204, is the same possible for the c250 as well? if so what is direct fit? and what isn’t? and how can it be done? and if you’ve done it give me ur contact via social media or number

Haven’t done it. Just sold my 2013 C250. But if M273 fits the C300, then it should be easier in the C250 because it’s not 4Matic. But the M273 is a lot heavier than the M271 so different front springs are probably needed. A rear differential match to the more powerful V8 may also be in order.
If you attempt this swap, please post progress and results so I can see ”what might have been.”

Anything is possible with enough time, money and effort. What budget are you willing to commit to the project? $10k? $100k?
