LB63

Does your car blip the throttle when it downshifts? I ask because the 2009 CLS63 does it (which is basically the same car as the E63), as well as all the other 2009 AMG vehicles.

I'm hoping it does because there may be a way for the 07 & 08 software to be updated to the 09 version that blips the throttle.

Even though it doesn't help performance, the sound of the 63 engine being blipped when downshifting is incredible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE0LQI6ZiMU

You are stretching it there. '09 flashes don't go retro. also, seems the E doesn't get the blip although I agree it is a cool feature.

no, mine does not blip the throttle. The sound of the C63 blows away my E63 if that is stock. Sounds like my C6 with the NPP exhaust wide open. Very nice.

Delete you resonators and your car will sound awesome.

that blipping thing is pretty sick if you ask me... specially when its got exhaust, about time mercedes gets this... my 2009 370z even comes with it

seven11

the 370z has blipping feat for stickshift

I wish there was a way to get the dealer to flash my 08 to 09 just for that feature.

Thing is, there is an 08 CLS63 in England that needed trany work and they upgraded the tranny software so that it had the throttle blip.

Since I know someone with the Star computer with all the updates, and if the 09 E63 has it, then he may be able to do it.

actually, mine is a 7spd auto tranny with paddle shifters and its got that feature... its a grand touring

You should hear the SL63, or even better, feel it, different gear box, its so hot. Could this be archived through an aftermarket ECU? Its basicly Rev Matching, right?

I wish Mb would give E63 transmission software update with rev matching downshift.
Don't we have same transmission as C63? I asked SA if it is possible and he said that transmission software is vin specific. So it cannot be done.
I wonder we should all ask MB or AMG for updates with rev matching downshift. What you guys think?

LB63

The CLK63 BS guys have been asking for this upgrade for ages, nothing from AMG so far

MB_Forever

Actually AMG replied back to them on the private lounge stating that they will offer the software upgrade through the dealerships, but then later stated that AMG has re-considered and decided that it would cost too much money to do so.

Ckim1021

Should get more people involved? I am sure that there are more E63/S63/Cl63 than CLK63 BS. Maybe more owners asking for it would change their mind...
What do you think?

MB_Forever

It's definitely worth a try

Ckim1021

How should we proceed?

LB63

We could start at the AMG private lounge. I just think that if the 09 E63 does not have it then we're kinda stuck. The only thing that gives me hope is that the 09 CLS63 has it and that is essentially the same car as the E63.

yeah there is no doubt the C 63 has the best sounding exhaust of the merc drove one a while back..


you can duplicate it pretty close by, either getting the C63 AMG mufflers
or similiar mufflers that are smaller, and dont have the dual chamber bend in the middle of the muffler like the E and CLS do..

and getting rid of the resonator and getting high flow cats and some headers perhaps.
but yeah you are right,, the C 63 sounds poetic..

here are a few more clips for you and others to enjoy

ALTHOUGH, the best exhaust and my favorite is still the AUDI
V10 S 8, with the lambo engine.. it simply SINGS

A bump from the past...any progress with this?

g.smiley

It would be great if they made some sort of software available, but I doubt they'll do it. Shame though.

LB63

I don't expect MB to do anything about this especially since the 2010 E63 has the throttle-blipping software. The only ones that would do it at this point are the tuners.

Jon2007E63P30

I have no doubt that AMG's answer to E owners will be to buy a 2010 E63 in order tp get the throttle blip.

The insite I have been given is that AMG tends to never look backward, always forward. And retro fitting is looking backward.

The best way would be to have an aftermarket tuner try to make a licensing deal on the technology from AMG. I can guarantee it will be expensive.

If you are in Australia i have got a German tuner coming to aust in may to individual code throttle blip to my clk bs if you after blip for your w211 e63 pm me
