I'm interested in purchasing a Performance Module for my '08 E350. Do they work? If so, which one(s) would you recommend?

The only work they do is lighten your wallet.
sell and buy an E55 if you want more power

tjts1 - here's a sample of what I've seen:

Garbage. It’s not even an ECU tune to remap fuel. It just tweaks timing a little. You’ll get at best 5HP. Waste of time. Spend the money getting a fresh oil change, new filters and spark plugs

youd get better 0-60 by getting the transmission fluid changed than junk like that. There’s a reason you won’t find threads on them because they don’t work

Yeah, there's plenty things in the future you will probably need. Things like oil cooler gaskets, thermostat, pulleys/tensioner, brakes, ball joints, control arms, springs/struts, intake manifold, motor/transmission mount, etc. And yes, keep your fluids changed too, transmission, transfer/differential fluid. Gas tank has a 15 year extended warranty, make sure you fill it all the way up and check to see if you smell gas in the back seat. Probably a few other things I'm forgetting, but other than that, it's pretty fun to drive. Basically don't waste money on mods, you will probably need it for repairs.

Wow cetialpha5 - i pray i don't have to buy all of those components - now or in the future! But Thank you for your words of advice!

Haven't done control arms or intake manifold yet, but I know those are coming eventually. Did the other stuff or will need to do the other stuff on that list soon. Had mine for 5 years so those were spread out over the years.

Really?? That's amazing! I'm a second owner of '08 E350 4matic. Bought the car with 75k on Odometer, now i'm at 85k.
Haven't done alot of maintenance to it yet. But I've only had it about a year. So far everything's been pretty normaI... Changed spark plugs, Oil changed and transmission Fluid and filter.`Oh - replaced CAM Magnets.
