The thermostat would be lower temperature than stock.
If you got the aftermarket t-stat, you would have to get your tune updated to reflect the lower t-stat temperature.
The ECU tells the t-stat when to open, which then tells the fans to go on. When fans come on at a lower temp (i.e., earlier), there should be some definite cooling benefits, at least in your engine coolant temp.
Pretty standard to do on forced induction cars with V-8's. The C63, on the other hand, is naturally aspirated, but it nevertheless still generates a ton of underhood heat.
I can't see a downside to getting a lower temp t-stat, but if yo do, remember to get the tune updated.
But as others have said, unless you're tracking the car, I believe the stock t-stat will work fine. I live in 110* F + Summers and I don't think my car needs one.

That said, I understand being N/A we need to find every hp we can, anywhere we can. So, if a few more hp matters, then forego the Chanel. ; )

jobee, ask others who have the part in question what they think of it, who cares what others that don't have it or any experience with it say.

FWIW - I actually have the lower temp t-stat (which is a modified oem MB AMG t-stat) and don't see any difference in temp although I do not track my car (however, I do live in a very warm tropical climate
).

I think if you want more power, you should get a set of LT Headers; I'm having the MBH LT bolt-on header system installed next week!

Your logic against it was that no other tuner made it so it must not work which is illogical I think.
Brabus put a TT V12 in a C-Class, they are the only ones, it works.

btw - I never said it doesn't work (in other cars); I just said I didn't see any difference in my car but I do not regularly track my car either.
