Thanks BPhil.

I never tested it out on the W212 but i'm sure there is a way to reset the ECU like the thread mentions. The thread worked for the W211 on my previous 2008 W211 and my bros 2008 E63.

Was a noticable difference in acceleration and shifting and would make a big difference if you did a chill break in like I did.

If anyone else knows how... would appreciate it.
