2014 E550 4MATIC TUNED - Turbo Upgraded Stage 3
But I think that's really a optimistic number.
Gotta get it on dyno to see the true number.
But from my BUTT dyno, it gain a lot of power no doubt.

1) The car is absolutely gorgeous, WOW
2) Are those Verde Axis 20s? Can't quite tell what wheel design it is but it looks prefect
3) Is that the sound from just catless downpipes? Or is it the full M278 Downpipes and Exhaust kit from Weistec that's around $6000 USD?
4) I know you're 4-Matic, but are you staggered? Those tires look wide as hell out back, like 285s

Actually, This car still have room to upgrade on performance.
But....its kinda overkill.
The tech said this car can be tuned to 650hp/715tq by upgrading xxxxx...
But i really dont want to mess up the drivetrain. Unless I upgrade to Bulletproof Transmission...etc.
Also, thats like burning money into a whole new level. lol
Hopefully, that itch never come!!

2. Those are Niche Misano Rims 20''
3. The sound is coming from Muffler delete and Weistec DP&MP package Catless.
And yes, thats the one $5995 on their Site. (But I bought it off from a member here. Saved whole lot $$)
4. Yes, it is staggered. Rear is 275.

Hmmmm.........
It's equipped with Airmatic. It's kinda soft actually.
I really want to upgrade the suspension too.
But I couldn't find anything to replace Airmatic.
As for the brake...
my friends told me I really should upgrade it too, before I kill someone or myself...lol
I was eyeing on Brembo package. But it is so Damn expensive. Maybe I will upgrade it next year.

Couldn't agree more. The first thing to do is find a highly reputable one-stop performance shop that specializes in MBs, and has been in business for at least ten years, close to home and do not let anyone else touch the car EVER!. Smart man.
When I got those quotes for Stage III they told me the same thing and I agree with them and you. There are much better solutions to making that power if that is your goal. I am also planning on building a 2016 E63 S in the future. I thought I saw an article on the front page of the forum stating that 2016 is the last year they will produce the larger displacement 5.5L Biturbo but I could be wrong.
AMG is switching to a 4.0L Biturbo ... https://mbworld.org/articles/amg-det...t-best-engine/
How SOFT are performance engines going to become

?If I am really getting E63 later, I am gonna get 2014 or 2015 E63s.
1. Price is right.
2. Stock number is already pretty amazing.
3. With all the matured tuning upgrades. I feel more confident

Yeah but with 4-Matic you can smash anyone off the line with all season tires lol, I'm excited what the new 4.0TT has to offer the E-Class. It is virtually lag free from what I've heard, turbos are easily accessible, sounds amazing, and is just the ultimate evolution of the 8-cylinder. Audi had it right quite a while ago too, two super high output 4-cylinders stitched together that are an effective 2.0L a piece. The M178/M177 are - according to Chris Harris - super stout, the block is able to hold 1800 psi without issue. That's insane.

Yes, the AMG E63 S 2014, 2015 and 2016 with a RENNtech Stage I tune for $3,500 will put us at 669HP/734TQ without any other upgrades (identical for their tune on a AMG CLS63 S). For $3,000 a Weistech Stage I tune will provide 608HP/660TQ.

I would never drive anything but AWD after having experienced it in my E550. I'm happy to see AMG go that route
.I am sad they intend to decrease the displacement from 5.5L though. Damn, enviromentalists.
