I believe that if you had a problem with a shop you should post the details for others to know.
Lucent has done a fair amount of work for me on 2 cars and so far I am very please with the work and service. If you have something to say you should say it. Otherwise don't drop little hints and digs without providing us with the details.

We ran it with ESP off in 4th gear to 179mph, I thought it was going to blow up! Go figure! I guess I need to go to the track!

By the way, can you cook the tires when downshifting at 60mph? With those numbers I would expect you could do that or more.

Haha!! That's because its a CLS and not an E!!. Just messin.
SLVRBLT43K: dude, subtlety is not your strength. You talk smack without talking it. Sounds like you are working some angle to try to get free stuff or get your money back!! Use some other group.
Agreed the numbers are too high, but nice car none the less. As always, the real deal is in the track numbers.....or maybe the air in SoCal is just denser!!!

Also, he said that the past few cars he did came in right were they should so I should believe the numbers. I don't, but I am pleased with the car and the mods none the less.
Also, he tested Speed Thrills CLS55 K1 and it put down 464rwhp and 535rwtq on the best run on 91 octane. So could the prime conditions and 101 in the tank make a difference of 67HP?
I must get it to the track to put my mind at ease.

I agree with the other memebr that said to just be happy and raise hell. Your E55 is at least running anyway, so go to the track or streets or where ever you like to haul and enjoy!!
Nice looking ride. The color combo of car and wheels is gorgeous.
The Trio has nothing on my PPC670!!
Just messin

As grussell said; if you got something to say...then say it. If not, then don't. I could care less how long you have been out of a car and I am sure that all MB employees would "back" you in bashing tuners. How old am I? 38, why? You interested? "Dude", teach you to mix tuners. If you want to scare the store or tuner you are pissed at, send them a letter from a lawyer. if you think they might read this thread and dewcide its best not to mess with you, then you really are fooling yourself and not me. Just for the record, you didn't write about the experience or the details. You just "hinted" at your problems. Send your car to Arkansas for all I care. Please do tell us all your details, but only AFTER the header are installed. Haha.

OT: Dude, you got brick right.. Added a Jabra JX10 and Microsoft Voice Command to it and it is now a laptop w/ built in hands free phone!!
Also, my Jeep is good enough to have UConnect, so the "brick" doesn't need to get touched!!
I wish I could get a similar feature on the BENZ!!! That is my #1 hate on MB. For all the toys and safety features that they trickle to other DC products (i.e. my Jeep), why would they not "steal" a few from them??

Good luck to you and do let us know how it goes. It does suck to have problems with your ride (been there), no matter what the cause (defect or tuner or whatever).

yea, I actually like that phone.... is it EV-DO? hard to belive that MB doesn't have bluetooth yet.... but I have to say, I had bluetooth in my 545i, and M45 Sport, and now I have the phone/car kit in my E55..... and the MB is much better in terms of reliabiltiy, sound quality, etc....
of course the big drawback is that I had to buy another phone (ebay $160), which I just leave in the car at all times.... I have the Treo650 as my carry with me phone....
