2021 (W206) Blow off valve spacer seems to not exist??
I had a BOV spacer on my last C-Class from 2017, the internet is flooded with them. I got the new W206, nowhere on earth to be found. I assume it’s due to the car being new enough and no one has taken the time to make one yet. I guess this car is probably last on the list of aftermarket parts being made. Anyone know of any companies that I should contact? The part is nothing amazing and the car isn’t fast but it’s nice to hear that BOV.

If you are located in the US, the 2021 model year is still the W205. It was refreshed with a new motor in 2019 (code name M264) and to this day there really isn’t much aftermarket for this motor compared to the old one found in the prefacelift (code name M274) w205 cars. The W206 C class isn’t due to North America until early to mid 2022.

Thank you for clarifying the exact model I don't have. The main question I have is why has no one has made a BOV for the 2021 C300, that's in the US??? The BOV from my 2017 c300 does not fit the 2021. Plus the engine is slightly faster, so I assume a lot more than the BOV port was changed.

I wish I had an answer to that. The previous motor was full of aftermarket options, the new one not so much, and whatever you do find is much more expensive than it was on the old one.

Ugh, Thanks for your help. Do you know of any forum thread that I should post this question to that might get some traction? There has to be a company out there doing the R&D on this. As I'm sure I wasn't the only one to buy a BOV spacer for their C300.
I was so pissed after I transfered everything from my old C300 to the new one and this was the ONLY part that didn't fit lol.

If I were you I’d just make a forum post on the W205 section and see what people say.
I was just as shocked as you with how little aftermarket there is for our cars. I was looking for a tune for my car thinking I would just go with the dinan piggyback tune for a couple hundred bucks. Little did I know that they don’t make one for the new engine (yet hopefully), and all other decent piggyback tunes are 3-4 times that. No thank you! Racechip makes a piggyback tune for it, but the power for the money isn’t great at all. Power wise it’s similar to what dinan was putting out with the old motor, but for 2-3 times the price.
