2015 C300 I4 upgrade?
Just sent the final payment, and I want to play. Figured I'd just start easy and start with a stage 1 tune, but I've had dreams for years about making this a sleeper. Thoughts?

I've thought about it, but I have this and its paid for. I plan to play around with it and build it into something fun.

I believe there's a turbo upgrade in the works (review this forum for testing mule requests by the tuner, whose name escapes me). BMS now has the full jb4, and that's worth considering. I wouldn't be surprised if you can squeeze about 100hp out of this platform, but you'll need that bigger turbo, I'm suspecting.

OK - two easy things I might suggest to start....
1. There have been good owner reviews of the Dinan "plug-in" (also known as a "piggyback") module - easy install - no mods to programming since it is pigglyback - just google Dinan website - Dinan website should confirm their model D440- 0044 .
The link below is a reputable tuner seller $277...

2. Vladimir in Belarus has righteous OBD module to "add"/change Dynamic Select programming to "startup last selected mode" and/or add/change ECO Start/Stop to "startup last selected mode and/or a couple other nifty program feature selections.
I have shown the eBay link below - email him your VIN# for confirmation what he can/cannot on a OBD module for your MB - he is responsive - and delivery from Belarus about 7-8 days.

I'd recommend a C400 or C450 at a minimum, or even a c63 if you want something quick. I've done most of the bolt on's on my c300 and while a fun car, its not fast, but it looks good! I'm going back to a c63. Looking for a clean 16 or 17 c63s now. Totally different animal.
