Damn right its an emergency!
Traction control had no idea what with itself till you toggled it on after 110mph. The gas light flicker on at the end gave me a good laugh!

that's if you want stock c32 performance, But ... if you want more out of it u need a 185mm crank pulley upgraded H/E and colder plugs, pulley saver, and a 55k airbox with the y-pipe
if you if you buy a salvaged c32 and do the work ur-self i assure you it is much cheaper, and u have more parts, like sway bars, brakes, dashboard, etc... take a look @ copart and auto insurance salvage, u can find c32 running in the 6000-7000 usd. and the nice part is the the ecu, security lock on the steering wheel column and the ignition will come with it so all the electronics hassle will disappear.
if i was living in the states i would have done that but i am in lebanon and all the salvage yards are very expensive so i started to be creative
most importantly if you do the work in a shop tell them to give you a complete quote not by the hour, cause this work by the hour will break the bank real quick, also you can bargain them in selling them your stuff that will be changed, or u can sell them to some one else.
Autodynamics, the garage that i did the work with is for my best friend ALI (forum member ali saklaoui) so i have HUGE discounts and in lebanon we don't pay by the hour and labor is not expensive, so a custom job like that will not cost as much as the US prices.

Well the first thing you have to do is source ALL the parts you need, for a c32 engine swap u will need a complete engine, wiring harness, C32 Transmission + TCU (not necessary but ur transmission wear out super fast), heat exchanger + HE water Pump, and off course an unlocked ECU either via tuner to load the complete c32 software on it (requires un-soldering flash load re-soldering) or a brand new one from the dealer. i am not sure about the ABS and ESP modules but a MB technician should directly know if they mate up right some do automatically some require version coding via Star some simply don't work.

Wow ahmed! Thanks for the great info.I thought it was just a straight plug and play swap with a ecu tune and that's it.sourcing a salvaged c32k should be easier fro me then just tring to find the motor already taking out.the one problem I know I'm gonna run into is finding a shop to do the swap un less I do it myself with a couple of my friends.I've done honda swaps but never something this delicate.
