Angel Tuning have done a few mates cars, depends how you want to do it, can buy a tuning box or have a remap done, but if you have a remap done the dealer may end up flashing over the map come service time etc so you'd have to get it re done
My car had to have an ecu update done as part of its service, I presume it was an essential update but transformed the way the car drove but kept the Brabus map as that is a tuning box.

Hey matey, I'm not sure why they wouldn't want to do it? It's a simple plug and play job using part numbers I listed up on here a while back, quite literally slacken the bumper up while the car is up on the ramps and disconnect/unclip the old DRLs, refit the new ones, just have to slacken the bumper in order to move the lamp unit out and put the new one in... MB techs shouldn't find it particularly difficult!
My D6 upgrade was done by the dealership I bought the car from, as was the DRL upgrade. Power increase, had it RR'd at 310bhp which I'm happy with, seems to be chewing the rear tires though! (may be that is my right foot though?)

weird!!! MB down here said theres no retro fit available and there would be different connectors and modules involved blah blah blah! might just get the bits and do it myself!!
310 sounds good to me. can i be cheeky and ask how much you payed for the D6? PM me if you want.

Yeah they're the sort of things you want to be going for, in essence all tuning boxes are the same just pay for a brand but in the Brabus case it retains the warranty
