Any ML63 W166 M157 owners live near Renntech (7825 SW Ellipse Way, Stuart, FL 34997)?

Mods DELETE!

Renntech confirms they want a GL63 and not a ML63 so canceling this thread - mods if you can please delete!

"I posted this in the GL63 section, but posting in the ML63 section as the ML63 engine bay has the exact same engine configuration with active curve system in the center of the engine (unlike the E63/CLS63/etc.).

I am looking to the forums for help. I'm looking to have a part made and Renntech needs to look at the engine bay to get measurements.

They have M157's all day long, but the GL63/ML63/GLE63 has an active curve system which is different from all the other E63/CLS63/etc.

If anyone is interested in helping out that has a GL63 (X166) or ML63 (W166), I'm happy to paypal you $20 to help pay for your gas (or sometime within reason). I know it's not a lot, but hoping someone can help! I'm guessing it would take under an hour to get the measurements.

Renntech 7825 SW Ellipse Way, Stuart, FL 34997

PM me if you are interested. Thanks in advance."

Not in a rush! That would be amazing if you're able to - just PM me if you're in Stuart and have some time to stop by Renntech. I'll coordinate with my contact there and have their tech do the engine bay measurements.

Just got word that Renntech really wants a GL63 vs a ML63 to be 100% sure, so really appreciate reaching out but no longer need. That being said - you should get your ECU tuned while you're there=)
