2015 C300 Power mods

hey guys, my friend who doesn’t understand cars one bit wants to build his C300. I’d assume the motor in the C300 isn’t the most power hungry. Are there any commonly known tunes and turbos and other upgrades that are done to C300 to make they quicker ???? or do you just buy a BMW

I have a 435 and had a 428 before which was not a power hungry motor either. New to the mercades world, and thank you guys for the help.

If you know Bimmers you should be familiar with BMS. They have a JB4 for the W205 C300. It's the best bang for the buck as far as power mods go. Dinan has a piggy-back too but it's not nearly as potent or adaptable as the JB4.

which is better in terms of power gain and longevity ARMASPEED carbon intake or BMS MB Type2 Billet Intake?

Also would ARMYTRIX Downpipe work with the normal exhaust comes with c300 with amg package?

Will be waiting for your reply, thank you!

AMR tune

Check out AMR for you tuning needs. It’s pricier but far worth it. The stage 2 is the way to go! Good luck👍🏻

I dont have any experience with the JB4 or Race chip, I ended up buying the DINAN which was really nice in my opinion. Comfort mode feels like Sport+ with another + .. so Sport ++ :P

I also bought the Race Chip throttle pedal response plug and play tuner, all it does is adjust the accelerator ratios as to when you put your foot down. Can choose between 7 different modes from economy to race mode.

BMS intake is a waste of money! don't buy it! Its open to the atmosphere and not enough air gets through to the air cooler. Also since its open with no cover its exposed to the warm engine so whatever air that gets sent through is even warmer air.

I ended up buying the ARMASPEED intake and oh my!!! the car sounds really nice and i picked up 10HP on the dyno.

As for your question for the ARMYTRIX DP, yes it can fit on the OEM exhaust pipe but installment will be a ***** (adjusting the gasket was the hardest part for me) and that was putting the ARMYTRIX DP onto the full ARMYTRIX exhaust.


If you have any more questions feel free to ask
