Not much you can do with a C300....Other then trade it in for a C63.

Congrats on joining the MB club. I have found the only way to maximize speed is to always drive in S+ and to drive in a consistent way so that the ECU gets accustomed to that pattern. You should start noticing you are holding gears longer which gives you better in-motion acceleration, and acceleration from a stop seems quicker, too.

On the flip side, you will burn more fuel and MPG will drop noticeably. Also, it's a pain that the car will not hold the S+ setting from start to start. But in my opinion, getting the best possible performance outweighs these drawbacks. Enjoy the ride.

Hi there OP- Grats on your ride! Got any pics to share? Don't mind some of the posters here, there's... plenty you can do with a c300...
Performance: Dinan has a nice little tune for it that makes a big butt dyno difference (link).
Exterior: Lots of folks replace their grills with ebay ones (like this one), check other threads for reputable sellers
Rims/tires: Lots of rim/tire combos out there to mess with
Suspension: Lowering springs (example)
Audio: Got Burmester? Check Mike's blogspot (here)
Want rotating tweeters/retrofit ambient lights/other gadgets? Lots of threads in the w205 forum with vendors and testimonials/experiences
Interior: Do you use your ashtray? If not, check MB part# A 205 683 01 91 - badass interior mat (credit to fabbrisd1 in this thread)
Want to increase the functionality of your storage area? Boom, + 3rwhp
Epic floormats? Wham
Sky's the limit! Don't mind salty folk- most importantly, enjoy your ride!

Without CANbus access it can only tune a fraction of what the JB4 can do for you.
