New member just saying hi
Purchased a CPO 2016 Polar White C450 about a month ago from Mercedes of Dothan, AL. I drove from Memphis, TN to get it and got it last month with the killer deal Mercedes was offering (1.9% financing, first two payments free, unlimited mileage CPO warranty). It was fully serviced, they put brand new tires and brakes on and tinted the windows. The car has a pano roof, which I loved in the C350 I owned several years ago. Within a week of ownership I put a JB4 on it and that's the way it will stay until the warranty is up then I'll do a full tune. I have one other Mercedes, a beautiful 1999 SL500 with 82000 original miles, really my wife's "play" car. My play car is an 800 WHP 2010 Cyber Grey Corvette ZR1.
I have read a bunch of threads over the last month and there's a ton of great info on the board.

Welcome, brother! I also have the 2016 C450 with some slight exterior mods... How are you liking the difference of power, and drive, with the JB4? That may be my next move after reading all the raving reviews. Here's a shot of mine.
Also, your SL is sexy!!

The JB4 was very simple to install, and logging feature is very easy to use. My review would mimic most of the other's I read, Map 1 not much of a difference, Map 2 was noticeable and got better over a few days. After a few days I connected the green wire and added a little E85, but still leaving in Map 2 and got a little more gain. I have not tried any other Maps or customizing any yet. As far as build quality, ease of use, performance per dollar, it's a killer deal.
Next year, I'll send my ECU to Eurocharged in Houston but I plan on keeping the piggy back.

The black trim has grown on me though...
I'm located in San Antonio and have contemplated a trip to Eurocharged in Austin for a tune.
