Ive heard only great things about OE tunning. Another ECU company to look into would be Singh Autosport.

Judging (only) from the currently available data set, and based on real-world live testing at the track and on the streets, the results we get from 1/4 mile tracks, 60 to 130 mph times, and 1 mile runs all indicate MHP tunes & headers out perform the competition.

MHP has the best performing bolt on packages, but if you only want a tune then the best bang for the buck is Eurocharge.

I think the results speak for themselves. Mhp has the best results by far. Check our my ecu tune only 1/4 & 1-mile results. $2495 is a steal for the tune.

No, is not!! $2495 for a tune is a grand theft. A tune for the C63 shouldn't cost more than $500. The results are great, the price is not.

I'm an E-Class guy just surfing through the C63 forum for some 'light reading', so I gotta ask...

Is this price for real? $2500 for a tune?

A simple yes or no will suffice, I'm not trying to stir the pot.

I can answer that. yes, it is the official price for that specific vendor/shop(MHP). There are even more expensive tunes like Renntech(I believe) which would run you like $3000.

The only competitive price so far is Eurocharger at $750, it seems more reasonable but still pricy in my opinion.

No doubt. Just got mine done by Jerry at Eurocharged and what a difference. Jerry was great to work with, took the time to answer any and all questions AND with prompt return calls too! Highly recommended.
