Performance Upgrades for 2008 C350 RWD
Hi,
I am looking to enhance the performance of my 2008 C350 and was wondering if anyone on here could give me some advice on where I could find parts compatible with my car.

Use search. Also, there is a forum dedicated to performance mods. You'll quickly become familiar with what's available from different tuners.
That said, your engine is known to be detuned a bit. Several tuners claim to boost performance from 272hp to 310hp. (That seems remarkable for a non-boosted car.) Here is one place to look; there are others.

Beyond that, it will cost a lot to get a few more hp and may not be worth it. If you are talking about handling performance, I can't help with that as I am happy with my C350 Sport.
BUT, before you do any of that, get yourself a good Mercedes-specific scanner -- you will need it sooner or later. Don't go with some cheap generic OBD scanner as you will be wasting your money. Here are some to consider and all are available on Amazon:
