This is because your shop didnt put in in dyno mode (as I had mentioned)... you cant dyno a benz correctly if its not in that mode thus these errors. Your dyno operator should know this though- I showed this to Serge and he mirrored my thoughts.

you should really reach out the Serge as there is something your guy missed... but whatever if you like the tune who cares right?

So according to these 1/4mile numbers, W213 seems to be making fairly similar power as the W212...but the W213 obviously launches better. Looking forward to see if DPs make a nice difference.

Did W212's with tunes trap 130? stage 1 no other mods?? i think its safe to say that the 9 speed MCT delivers a more efficient power delivery to the ground as evidenced but the stock trap speeds.

Exactly, we did call Serge and ask but it's no biggie. I'm looking forward to see what you get on the dyno just for smiles.

Stock W212 was showing roughly 630-640hp, and the W213 as shown above looks to be at least +40hp over that.

Correct. I was comparing tuned vs tuned 1/4mile mph which is arguably a better indicator of hp. The W213 is obviously a much improved car in all respects so I’m not trying to say otherwise, I’m just comparing the first bits of data to come out.

hahaha I was just thinking right before I read your post. They specifically told me that they no longer offered the tune that put the car in 10s. Then turned off my CEL for and additional $900 for off road downpipes (no change to the tune whatsoever I later came to find out)

Seems like the larger displacement of the w212 is better for torque while the twin scrolls of the W213 is making a decent bit more HP

I assume you are talking tune vs tune cars right? The M157 was such a stage 1 car but then after that I didnt see much as you have said over and over. Im a BPU owner, meaning tune, drop, exhaust when necessary.
Did W212's with tunes trap 130? stage 1 no other mods?? i think its safe to say that the 9 speed MCT delivers a more efficient power delivery to the ground as evidenced but the stock trap speeds.

Now they can still hit that trap but they need DPs and a good launch to get there....

Nope... only the chassis dyno before and then I ran out of time and left. Serge wants to dyno it on a regular machine so we will reflash to stock, dyno, flash, then redyno but now that its the holidays every one is part timing it or too busy.
Ill say this, I echo your thoughts on the tune; its definitely a faster car from a dig and roll. Im getting wheelspin and that just shouldnt happen (more than I did when stock of course).

Those are some crazy numbers!!!! Cant wait for the drag strip runs at the same time.
Here are the C&D numbers for E63S- closest thing to apples and apples- mostly off by two tenths in most measurements. That curb weight hurts (4288 vs 4587).
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 3.0 sec

Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 3.9 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.3 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.1 sec @ 126 mph
Top speed (governor limited, mfr's claim): 186 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 155 ft

I guess I'm missing the reason why I bought a 2018 E63s wagon in these comparisons.... It's a better car even if it's a .01sec or what ever slower.
I'm driving an AMG not a soon to crap out BMW.

Will be more interested in seeing some comparison reviews. How does it drive and how well does it put down the power when it's not going in a straight line, etc..
But at this point I'm not in the market and happy with my new purchase and I'm at least a few years away from an upgrade.
By then Mercedes will probably have a hybrid out which will kick A on current hardware.
