I'm still intrigued by this chip, but I'm still wary of the long-term effects.
How noticeable is the power gain? 20 hp isn't all that much. I wouldn't think you'd feel any difference in a car this heavy...
what's your experience?

All of them, as much as I can...
You should do a search and read up on it. The Upsolute chip issue has been hashed and rehashed in most of the MB forums. 20 horses is a LOT and you can definitely feel it on the buttdyno. I don't see how it would affect long term performance, as long as you stick to at least 92 octane gas or better.
Best mod bucks I spent on my E430 as well.

Upsolute does have one for the E420 - the guys in Austria confirmed that they have done some.
The rep is too far from where I live, so I have not yet figured out how to do it...

Good luck, you won't be sorry.
