newbie here
I am very new to the MB C63 world. I just purchased a 2015 C63 AMG coupe 507 edition. I have been reading lots of threads. Its seems like many of you have the Eurocharged V5. At the risk of asking a stupid question, what is it? Is it a tuner that you plug into car and download a program that gives you more horse power? Is it simple to do? Where do I go to purchase one? Thanks

Yes, it's a ECU flash tune.
You won't get much in HP gain with your 507 with a flash alone. It would remap the throttle and provide rev matching shifts.
There are a few thread here from others who did the V5 flash to their 507, browse around and you come across them.

thanks for the infomation. I understand that doing just the v5 tune on a 507 wont get much gain in HP. what if I did the ROW air box with the V5 flash. Do you think thats a good investment. I dont plan on doing any other engine mods after that. Appreciate your input. thanks

^ Honestly, if you've already got the 507 and would stop after a tune/ROWs, I'd highly consider keeping the car stock. You'll never have to run into an warranty headaches should anything go wrong.
You can also take that money and put it into light cosmetic modifications that really set these cars off.
Anyway, if I were you, I'd stay stock and drive the s**t out of it, and have the peace of mind knowing that if something breaks I'll be covered.

507 is already a monster. if thats all youre gonna do to the engine, just stay stock and use the money somewhere else.
