Smile 2013 S550 m278 tuning
first off, high everyone. always use site for excellent information so thank you very much. I am faced with deciding to tune my car (bored) without cost based comparison who is the most recommended tuner. renntech, eurotech etc. I only have 5k miles not a daily driver.

thanks guys and girls....

Welcome Why would you want to tune the car with only 5000 miles? does not make sense. I have a suv with 90,000 on it and it has never been tuned and has the original brakes. As long as it runs good leave it alone.

So what you really want is to have the vehicle enhanced. I can understand that. My Mercedes is fast enough without being enhanced. Someone on the forum will be able to tell you what to do to get more out of the car. Good luck

Welcome to MBWorld. Renntech, OE Tuning, Kleemann, Brabus, CKS, VR, etc are well known tuners you should look into. Most tunes will generate roughly the same performance gains, so what you'll want to look at are cost, location convenience, and warranty as your deciding factors if you want to start pushing her to Stage 1.

You can get nearly identical results with Eurocharged as RennTech offers for A LOT less money.
