2013E550C

Finally got back to the track after the OE tune. All stock, but did change to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 back tires. I think the combination of these summer tires with the new found torque allowed for some very good 60ft times .... 1.77 and 1.78. Backed up the best run with a 12.07. It was still a warm day with higher humidity so hopefully will get another chance in October to see 11's....

That's one fast car! I was planning to get the 2017 E550 in March this year. Unfortunately, only two were available in the NJ/NYC area, and both were black, not my choice of color. So I ended up buying the E400. Unfortunate, E550 is no longer available. I will take this over the E43 anytime!

nice run!!! My OEtuned e550 sedan is a blast to drive. My mph at the track was very close to your at 114 but the 4 matic is restricted (torque limited) on the launch and I cant do better than a 2.0 60ft which kills my times.

2013E550C

Yeah 60ft is everything when it comes to a good time at the track. But mph tells you a lot also. 114 means your are making great hp especially since your are a sedan (heavy).

Was the same tire size (stock width and diameter) used when the change was made to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 back tires?
Thanks

2013E550C

Back to the track this weekend and was a little too anxious to get into the 11's. Pushed too hard off the line and spun badly resulting in two very bad
runs, 13.5 and another that I got no time (just as well) . Made one good run of 12.2. Another complicating factor was the traction control which of course
was turned off. Acted like it wasn't off and the car, besides spinning, pulled the power. Do not understand what happened because last yr I had one
run that I spun a little but it kept the power on and resulted in a 12.9 run. Well, have 6 months now to think about it.

Hey buddy, since how long have you had your V8? How many miles, I ask because I want to know the reliability of these engine. Does it have oil consumption or any known issues ? thanks

2013E550C

32,000 miles and no problems. No oil use and no leaks. Havent put many miles on it though. 2K in a year and half.

So, great engine, great power, great reliability, lots of fun. Sounds like a good recipe.

My 2012 E550C (M278 TT-V8) has over 64K miles (over 20K miles with an OE Tune) and has been bulletproof with no issues at all (knock on wood). I'm very happy with the reliability, dependability (and love the tuned performance) of this engine!
