AMG E63 W213
Race/Drift Mode on E63

Hey!
we just upgraded from 650HP C63s to the new E63 (non S)
it’s our shop’s project / demo car, on which we have already mounted a powerbox on and it’s insane. vbox numbers soon

thing is.
we have looked up and the differential part numbers are the same on E63.. and E63s. I don’t get it why they say one is mechanic the other electronic.
theoretically, by spoofing / remapping / coding the infotainment system.. we can activate both Race and Drift mode on an non S E63, since the engine ECU has Race mode in its map.

has anyone tried this before? how did it go?

thanks!

reason - standard E63 has mechanical rear diff. S model has electronically controlled diff. It’s two different units. I have no idea why you got same part numbers for both.
yes, tried long ago

you can activate race mode with coding. Doesn't matter if you have mech or elec diff
