BenzNinja does coding , not tuning. He changes the car's settings and optional features, but is not involved with high-performance engine tuning (boost) mods.

BenzNinja offers engine tuning now as well.

I had my 550 tuned by Weistec and am happy with the results.

Friend of mine gave his ‘19 S63 coupe Peter’s tune. He describes acceleration as “Like a Plaid.”

My S-65 got Peter’s tune. Really woke it up.

For those not familiar with tuning, make sure you save the factory tune. That way if you go to the dealer, you can put the factory tune back in so they don't void anything. It's easy to go back and forth between tunes too. Hope you guys love it

When I talked to BenzNinja on the phone he offered to tune my S560 engine. So I definitely think he does tuning. I'm not a tuned engine guy so I declined.

I have a RENNtech tune on mine. Seems to work great. I don't push it often but when I need to move it responds.

They have the name and reputation so no guessing when I was looking. Plus it was super easy.

Slav @ ECC Toronto tuned my S550 4matic remotely for both 93 and E50. Super happy with the tune and the customer service!!

are you saying the tune was done remotely, i.e. not having to take your car in to the shop?

Yes! It will be a very safe tune and very noticeable improvement.

If you want it really dialed in, Slav can instruct you how to acquire some data whilst you drive, then email him and he will refine the tune and send you another file to flash into your ECU.
