Personally, I don't think there's much more to be had.

If I end up trading in my current 350 for a GLE300d (instead of a GL350), I plan on going with the RaceChip Ultimate. Guys w/ F15 X5 35d have been having good results with it.

Have you gotten the Brabus unit installed yet? If not and you happen to remember, can you ask what's their take on tuning the new 4cyl unit that will be in the GLE300d? Not sure if it will be similar enough to the engine in the ML 250 to use the same chip/tune.

That's what I was trying to figure out. Been reading lil tidbits here and there that while the output specs are the same, there's a few technical updates.

The D4 performance-kit consists of a processor controlled electronic control unit for the engine
electronics of the ML 250 CDI. Included in delivery there is a plug&play harness that connects the
performance-kit ecu to the standard engine electronics.
The kit is ready out of the box and can easily be fitted due to the plug&play system.
A special feature is the integration of D6S into the car’s canbus-system.
all required information regarding the function of PowerXtra are provided by the car’s canbus-system.
As an additional feature the power increasement level can be selected by switching between the
transmission modes. When switched to transmission mode „ECO“ PowerXtra raises the maximum
torque level and leaves the maximum engine power output at its standard. By switching to „sport“ or
„manual“ both, the maximum torque and the maximum power output is increased.

Can't find a link at the moment, but are the (estimated?) epa/fuel mileage specs the same as well?
