So Friday I finally settled my internal debate on either going with a W211 E63 or a W212 E550! I drove both of them and researched for a long time as well and settled on the E550. I loved everything about the E63 but realistically I would never drive the E63 to its potential.

I was so surprised by the power of the E550. Love it and will eventually tune it. Right now I am desperately craving an exhaust and some H&R springs.

Anyway, I spent yesterday painting the grill and fog light housings black. I hate chrome so eventually I will get rid of all of it.

Nice. Very beautiful and a extremely powerful car. It's a perfect balance of luxury and power.

Congrats! Tune it and its a whole new/different car. The power difference is night and day

Congrats. I am looking hard for the perfect e550 for me.

I had a w211 e63. Very fun car, but damn, the maintenance was brutal. Still haunted by the bill for brakes & rotors. Whew.

nicobaires

That's exactly what swayed my decision!

Anybody know of where to tune my car in the Miami area? Also a good exhaust shop?

thefisch

you chose wisely. congrats.

what is this OE TUNED you speak of? perhaps a different computer that is provided by MB....this would interest me!

please advise on stock MB 2012 E550 - best tune for this great car.

THANKS

My guess is that they are talking about this, from Renntech:

Congratulation ! Was thinking for E550 for my daily commute but I guess it would be overkill. I finally settled with E350.

That's it, I have their tune on my NA 2010. The tune for the bi turbo has huge gains compared to the NA motor

Love my ECU tune from OE Tuning!

Congrats on the new ride - now all you need is a tint. How do you like your E550? I think (other than fuel economy) it is the perfect car.

Another sleeper!!! Congrats!!!

When are you planning to wake it up !?!?!?

nicobaires

Soon but let me tell you, I think I need to upgrade the brakes first! This thing is fast!!

Is there a way to check to see if this was tuned by previous owner?

BenzV12

Congrats, if I were you I would pay a visit to any dealer to ask them to pull the codes and vehicle history using the STAR DAS
It looks like a modded car judging by the exterior

nicobaires

I did the exterior. I am removing the side trim today. But I will do that anyway. Thanks

AKnight55

Congrats, you made the right choice.

WOW, and thank you.

this will be done - maybe next winter when the car is off the road

such huge gains - 500lb-ft man O man...thats amazing.

also to the OP congratulations...I am constantly impressed with my E550 - headlights, orderless exhaust, POWER, quiet ride, turning radius! The list goes on. Coming from a 1998 BMW 5406sp, so there is a lot of new electronics to learn, and then turn off.

OH - drowsy warning, that is just uncanny. Happened to me at 11pm on a quiet highway - BING - coffee time. Love this E CLASS!
