Hi
I own my 2012 C63 Estate with performance package European version (I'm located in Europe) since this january.
I had a lot to do I changed:
transmission oil
engine oil and filter 3 times incl engine flush
differential oil
plugs
engine manifold gasket
pcv valve
tires to michelin
rear brake
After I upgrade
Coils to High power coils
Ecuupgrade from Kleemann Denmark
Air filters to k&n
now the car is running much better and smoother.

Just ordered a kw clubsport with kw camber plates and a light weigth battery.

planed upgrades
440 kit, if I find one
differential cooler
light weight wheels
light weight seats
weight reduction totaly arround 220 lbs
some chassis bars
akrapovic exhaust

have fun with AMG's

:-)

Do you have the alternator management option 909?
Does your battery harness have the battery sensor ?
Don't use a lightweight battery, you may give up torque. You need that Ah throughput of the OEM.
Some features are amperage intensive and the lightweight may not supply enough.
Not all the amperage comes from the alternator ...................

many thanks for your advise. Yes I have option 909.
Do you know this battery?
https://en.liteblox.de/?product=liteblox-lb26xx-gen4-lightweight-battery-for-performance-and-motorsport&noredirect=en_US

Those batteries are very good and as you can see not cheap. they are installed in many diffrent expensive care with battery management. I will try it out.

I'm not sure that I buy the equivalence they propose between the amp hour of a Lithium battery and a lead acid battery.
To me an amp hour measures the same transfer of energy.
So even with them saying that their 17.5 Ah equate 54Ah in a lead battery, the OEM battery still has 95 Ah.

I just ended a 5 year duration on my Subaru and got rid of an Oddyssey, second in a row, this time with slightly more Ah and 5lb heavier and bought a Subaru OEM battery to replace it.
It feels like I have been missing out sadly.

The Subaru doesn't to my knowledge track real achieved cam advance angle vs programmed angle.
I don't think the cams were advancing as far as I had programmed them to do.
Long story short, more torque in the first 5 minutes. That car has alternator management too.
So one thing you can do is use Xentry to log cam programmed angle vs achieved angle with your battery and see how you do.
Cam solenoids consume a lot of amperage.
In our car there is the transmission management and solenoids too. Not something that you want to feed insufficient amperage to.
I replaced the battery with an OEM battery and the car felt overall smoother and more torque on the low end.

I wish more wagons were sold here in the U.S. This is an incredible machine and one that I would absolutely love to be a part of. Here at Wheels Boutique not only are we the largest dealer in the world for custom forged wheels but we also earned that title for Akrapovic Exhausts as well. Please send me over a PM or email some time so we can have a little fun picking out some lightweight wheel options for ya - David@WheelsBoutique.com[/size]

It must be a US thing - Everyone including myself would love to have a wagon like this! I really need to find a way to get one here in the states. My dog would love the back and it would great lowered on some wheels.. And of course with some loud pipes
