Check my review on the W210 forum...regarding my Powerchip upgrade. The Upsolute chip is an economically less alternative...$911 vs $400 (includes BNZsport member discount).

Some work
Some of these chips work but you WILL sacrefice (sp?) fuel economy. All chips work the same way, they modify the timing of the fuel released to the cylinders. You can do at least part of this FOR free IF you can get your dealer to change the settings on your EXISTING ECU to 93 octane (I think). Gets you another 8HP (i think) over standard but fuel economy drops from 19-20 to 12-13MPG and you must use the highest octane. Do some serches on the forum and you;ll find the details.
