That's very smart. I can tell you from owning a X164 Bluetec that the engine has lots of problems with gaskets and seals which most likely is heat related. Be prepared for a fight if you modify the ecu mapping in any way when it comes time for warranty repair. If you are getting more power out of the engine, you are going to have more heat. Perhaps the X166 Bluetec will not have the same issues but that remains to be seen.

You got a good discount on your GL350.

Changed and confirmed order to add all three of your recommendations. Thanks for the advice. Like my wife.......I never met a budget that I couldn't exceed
