E200: How to make it faster?

Hello guys,

I’m the proud owner of a MY17 E200 for almost 4 years now. Its a perfect daily driver, but the lack of power really is bothering me lately. The stock 184hp isnt cutting it for me anymore, i need more power!

First option is a Stage 1 tune which gives the car 30/40hp more, but i doubt that there will be a noticeable difference compared to stock. I was thinking about a stage 2 tune, maybe a bigger intake or a downpipe, if all of this is even possible on a E200...

If there is anyone that has tuned their E200, please share your experience with me!

I honestly dont know how this engine or turbo works when it comes to tuning options, and how much it can take etc so any help will be appreciated.

Can you take it to Brabus and have them tune it?

Yes i could do that. Brabus headquarters arent that far from me. I could also get a custom re-map on the dyno at a local tuner.

Do you have any experience with a Brabus tune?

I would say that 20% increase on E200 is more than enough... If you want more power than that then you should buy a car with a bigger engine. Tuning a mercedes 2.0 is not the same as tuning a mitsubishi evo.

Options for improved 0-100kmh:

More power: engine tune

less restriction: downpipes and cat/resonator delete

less weight: remove extra seats, carpet, headliner, audio system, trunk lining

I did a stage one tune to 240 hp on my e200. It made a decent difference, mostly on higher speeds as it was very lethargic before. Personally i think a tune is most speed for your money
