If you have the P31 package then yes, you do have more power then a standard non P31 C63.

Your right, the 2009 and early 2012 C63's had the P30 package.
You probably have a factory freak motor.

If it's not a photoshop then your car seems to be "upgraded" by AMG

This is an official german TÜV-document

K = 373KW / 6800rpm ~ 507 crank hp

T = topspeed 300 Km/h

Really :-) That seems nice!

You are right it is a Official german tuv! The car is on its way to sweden now and i will have it in about 10days!

I have never drive a C63 so i wont be able to know the differense but does any one knows little more what this AMG tune is all about? Could any one that order a new C63 pick this option? And if yes why didt every one do it :-)

Then if the car have 507 bhp it meens that it have more power then a C63 whit P31.

Im a little confuseed now and i hope some one have a little more info about the AMG tune that my car seems to have!

Me either?

Thought all newer C63's with the Performance Package were P31 (no TB limitation, some forged SLS internals, etc.).

Bring it to the Dyno. You most likely bought a used car that has a tune on it. If that is the case make sure it is documented at the dealer you bought it from otherwise they will say you did it and void your warranty if you bring it in for repairs.

Very easily checked. If the ECU has been opened. Its tuned.

All TUV is that its a certification of "kosherness". It's not AMG, affiliated with AMG, or sponsored or made by AMG.

http://sprinterstore.com/tuv_certification.htm

So just because its a TUV printed receipt, all its saying that the aftermarket tune complies to certain standards accepted and deemed whole buy the tuning industry.

Most likely you bought a car with just an aftermarket tune. Enjoy.

and then you woke up....


Take a trip to a dyno shop. If you are showing higher than stock numbers pull out the ECU and see if its been opened. If it has open it up and hope it isnt covered in epoxy!! JK!!! LOL. If the ECU has been open take it to any tune shop and they can plug it in and read the file and it will have something in the code that states what tune it is.

The TUV paperwork shows it was passed in Wetzlar, Hessen County, are you buying this car from the MB dealership in Wetzlar ? This TUV paperwork more than less tells me that it is an aftermarket tune. I know were the MB dealership is, been there before, I had a 190E 16v from them many moons ago.

The reason no one has heard of a "special" AMG tune is because one doesn't exist. My bet is an after market tune.
