Another CLS550...
Tought I would share my 13' CLS. Had I not stumbled across this forum, I would have a lot more money in my pocket. Basicly I was pretty content with my new cls550 overall performance and looks. After seeing what could be, I started reading more and more and buying more and more.

Very nice! Would have been my next pic, if I couldn't get a black one at the time. I tinted the windows as well and notice a lot of people do that own the new CLS. I went light with 35%, you?

Congrats on the purchase man, looks great....the more I look at the new CLS, the more it grows on me, I think I may be in the "would have more money in my pocket" category soon haha.
Your ride is going to look sick with the CV3s, cant wait to see some pics.
Did you do a dyno after the ECU tune? Interested to find out what you think of the tune vs. baseline performance. In terms of driving, what are your impressions vs. your old CLS?

Fresh wheels. Nice color, too. Palladium silver?
And wow.. 530hp and over 600 lb-ft from just an ECU tune? Considering you also have the added traction of AWD I think even a PP CLS63 is gonna have trouble against you.

tooled around the renntech website, and found this under their page for ECU tuning for C218 550
"Note: Mercedes M278 engine performance when measured obtains higher numbers that rated from factory."
So subtract 70 from 530, and they say the Stock BHP is 460.
