Spark Plugs
Hi, I know thefre's other threads on the How-To topic, but my question regarding the cost my dealer wants to charge. Is the $710.00 they want to charge me typical?
Thanks
Thanks

$26/plug x 8 = $208 CDN
$110/h labour x 2 = $220 CDN
Total $428 CDN + tax
The plugs were a bit on the expensive side but this was still around what I was expecting having done plugs my self in previous cars. The plugs were NGK two step colder plugs as well. I would ask your dealership for a cost break down to see why its so expensive. Hope this helps.

$710 USD sounds way too high for a spark plug change. I just picked up a 2014 E63 S and took it to Eurocharged here in Toronto for a new set of spark plugs among other things. The cost for the plug change was:
$26/plug x 8 = $208 CDN
$110/h labour x 2 = $220 CDN
Total $428 CDN + tax

I always wonder what it's like to have even more power than stock already.. 800hp / 1000tq must be crazy.

Use 94 octane and shouldn't have misfires!

Must be crazy to have traction issues at 100km on the highway .
I've always used 94 on all my AMGs. Never heard about misfires though.. if not running 94 will increase chance for misfire? My C63 is also tuned, but I've always used 94 on it.. even before tuning.

I am still deciding on which tune to go for. The OE tuning with their year end promotion is pretty good.. even after conversion, it's still the cheapest tune so far.

Throttle response is a lot better, not that it was lacking before.
Hoping to go in to get some 1/4 mile numbers in the spring. Best stock time was 11.62 @ 122.00 mph (most traps were around 121.x mph) on a humid day running 91! Had a 50+ pound bag in the trunk, don't know if that makes any difference!

I am going in tomorrow to get it dyno'd! Watch their site and IG for updates. I'm pretty sure they'll post it up!
