C400 with AMR tune, Anyone?
Posted this in the W205 forum with no hits, thought I would try here. Anyone with a C400 have an AMR tune with stock downpipes? Would like to know how the car performs!
Thanks,
Alex

2018 AMG C43
Hi I have a 2018 C43. Sent the ECU to AMR for the first state of tune. They were running a special so several hundred off. One day turn around. On their test mules supposed to add 90-100 hp and torques. Real world driving it really woke the car up. In Sport+ and my Ind modes the car is quick. Still has all its pops with the active exhaust on. Shifts are really quick. Very happy. They have more extreme over the top tunes available but I figure a high 12 sec 3 liter sedan is enough for daily driving.
NOTE: Any time I go to my dealer (who knows I have this tune) I have the service advisor note on the paperwork 'do not touch or scan-update the ECU'
I also keep a large piece of paper with this printed out to put on the seat. I've only been in to get rid of run flats but part of the dealer protocol is to plug in
run a scan, load updates such as on the transmission (which dumbs it down because people cannot accelerate with fly by wire correctly and many complained).
One disadvantage of a loaded tune vs plug in style.
