168 mm Pulley and LET tune

I have a noob question...

I have a 2003 E55 that I'm selling. It has a 168 mm pulley and LET tune, and my mom has a red CLS55. My dad is wanting to buy my pulley/tune and put it on my moms car... Would that work? Can i just swap the ecu's out or would we have to send my moms ecu in for the tune? THANKS!

DO NOT swap them out and try to start your car. They are vin specific coded. You will need star and the ECU will have to be returned.

Some say you can run a 168 without a tune, but need a tune to dial in... Don't quote me though.
