C450 here, but still same..

Disclosure: I'm coming from an 06 350z, so I love everything about the C43/450 AMG:

- response is amazing
- the acceleration is one if not the fastest tested in its class
- the "pop - pops"
- subjective, but I think this has the best interior in its class. The design and details are unbeatable (love the blue ambient lighting)
- the Burmester system is not the loudest but the sound is complete and well equalized
- the w205 chasis itself has nice styling and the diamond grille that resembles the GT is gorgeous
- anytime I have passengers in the rear, they love the pana roof
- the fact that the smaller engine (compared to a 63) is so tunable and capable..makes it that much lovable
- coming from a RWD that was way too "tail-happy", I love the 4Matic.
- the technology in the car as a whole

Yes I got my car stage 1 tuned by AMR Performance. It added around 100hp and 120tq. Along with the power increase, the whole car feels smoother more responsive. I highly recommend it for anyone that has this car

That's a lot of HP and Tq! These engines can definitely put out some impressive numbers. I'm kind of worried about the stress it'll put on the engine though, I plan on buying my c43 and want to get the most life out of it. How much was the tune? Also it's an ECU flash right? So I'm assuming you have to mail it to them and be without the car for a while?

Yes I mailed them my ECU, they programmed it and shipped it out same day! The tune was $1999.99 and they covered return overnight shipping. I have not had any issues with the car and my buddies 450 has almost 50k of hard abuse lol and his car hasn't had any issues either.

Are these gains based on higher octane gas?
That's pretty impressive!

Your dealer hasn't acted up about the tune?

93 octane and myself as well as my friends that are tuned have not had any issues at the dealer. Definitely worth looking into!

I think from a dig 43 is neck to neck but 63 pulls after like 60-70mph, with this tune I'm sure it'll be a few car lengths ahead. Unless ofc the 63 is tuned lol.

It's wild lol I know a guy with another stage 1 C43 that went 12.2 in the quarter with a terrible 60' haha this tune is unreal. The funny thing is that it is so smooth, you think it came from the factory like this........until you hit the throttle lol then hold on!

That's insane lmao, I can't wait. But yeah for another $2000 it should be amazing, that's a good chunk of change. (Pun intended) .. still just cautious about it though, I tent to in theory treat my cars like baby's but that's literally never the case, I beat the **** out of them. So it would be that much more wear

2021 Mercedes C63s AMG Coupe
Everything I love about my car summed up here:


I have driven quite a few number of performance sedans but none of them has anything on the AMG PE. The exhaust in this car alone makes it nothing short of absolutely amazing. I am kind of bummed that this car is still not getting the kind of attention the M2 gets and that car sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

My friend has a C43 as well and usually when we go out for a drive together, there is not a single person within 4 blocks in each direction that does not stop what they are doing to check where the bangs are coming from. Also the plethora of noises it makes on throttle liftoff comes second only to the F type. I have owned this car for 6 months now, and everytime I drive it, I still laugh like it is the very first day I put it on the sports + mode.

Atleast it is nice to see that the C43 irrespective of proper reviews out there for it, is selling quite a lot.

I took my car to AMR and had it put on the dyno. Got +90hp at the wheels which actually calculates to 476hp
