Tuning Help and Other Bits for My 2013 C63 Please...
Hi to everyone,
I am the new owner of a C63 and looking to do some upgrades. I am new to this particular platform, so some good advice would be greatly appreciated.
First I am looking at a tune, however nothing too elaborate. I want to run in the October Texas Mile against my BMW buddies, and I need something more than what I have. I topped her out at 160 over the weekend before the speed limiter interfered. My BMW buddies seem to have quite a few options when it comes to tuning their M cars, but I know nothing about the MB options at all. Does the dealership offer anything, or is it aftermarket all the way?
I read on this forum I think about a company that were doing what seemed to be a decent tune, but there was so much drama going back and forth about who they were and their involvement with other companies that I just didn't want to even finish reading it. Too much drama from people getting worked up over non-important stuff. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Air filters and these boxes I read on the forum seem to make a difference, but I don't really know, so can anyone give me some insight on them? One other thing I noticed about this car is the really, really substandard headlamps. I don't have the LED's or the fancy lights on my car, so I have to settle for replacing with a halogen or better bulb. Does anyone have any suggestions on a better bulb? These are pretty yellow, but the fog lamps on the very bottom look to be LED. Not sure why MB would mix different type lighting-it looks kind of stupid really. So something more white light would be much better. The high beams are really good, but again still the yellow light.
I am looking for wheels, but the options seem endless so I will just keep searching. I am pretty picky on this subject, and do not want anything that steps outside of the wheel arch. Also black, most likely a matte black, or semi-matte in a mesh style.
I'm sure there is a whole lot of info on the forum and I am looking forward to getting started. Thanks for all of your input. Oh, how do I upload images onto the forum? I have no idea. Thanks again.

OK, So I got the info on the tune, and I found wheels, but how about headlamp bulbs to fit? They are the halogen bulbs. Thanks to anyone for some ideas on this item.

I have a 2010 and used Phillips Diamond Vision in a H7 bulb in my high beams. I have Bi-xenons for low beams but you can use the same bulb in both I think. They are around 5000K and should match your leds. Maybe they come in a Hi and Lo beam version but not sure.
Online says H7 55W for both high and low beams:

Amazon has then as one source. Not sure if the link will stay good.
