2015 CLS63
PP63 Personal Build Thread

Hello everyone,

I noticed that this forum is fairly quiet especially the w218 AMG crowd. I'll share my experience with everyone on this new project I'm working on.
This will be my first Benz. I had always been a BMW guy for the past 10 years.
Here are some pictures from the dealer and a video of me smoking my friends S63 haha.

Hi, Welcome to the forum. Your c63 pulls hard. I am a newbie myself to the forum and purchasing my first Mercedes Benz. I have always been a Honda guy. I purchased a 2013 C350 4matic Sport/AMG package. Looking forward to picking it up this weekend. Congratulations on your purchase.

All the Best.

I have the amg-s version so I think there isn't much available for tune wise; I'm leaning towards AMS, cheaper than Renntech. I would go with Eurocharge as well but I dont think theres a tune for my year but I could be wrong. Where in Mass are you from? We could do a meet up.

Dude..Its like we have the same brain. I was shooting to get an ams tune aswell as compared to the renntech (more expensive). I also checked out Eurocharged and they promise good values but I havent seen any performance videos like AMS. I just bought my 2012 CLS63 2 months ago and the car is a beast. However, I also seek to tune it to about 700whp if possible. I live in Andover, MA like 30 mins from Boston. Whereabouts are you from?

Im currently in Waltham. I have a performance shop in Peabody, MA called Proper Performance. We tried getting dealer info for AMS but unfortunately its too close to Bren-tuning and Kaizen (no longer in business). So I would have to hit up the guys from Brent Tuning in Upton, MA if I want to do the AMS tune.
You should look up the Eurocharge tune- lots of guys who have the 2012 get them after doing some research. You can always dyno it after the tune, theres a place down the street from Peabody.

Waltham is not far from me. We could definitely do a meet and greet. A lot of guys go with Eurocharged especially when they have specials going on. If I end up going with Eurocharged, then Ill definitely dyno my car at your shop to see if I am getting the promised stats. I am thinking sometime around the summer, I will do my tune. I will keep you posted. Do you have an instagram page for your car?

I don't think theres a tune for my model, but I think my buddy's s63 is getting a Eurocharged tune. They showed their stats online but not sure if those are true numbers. We don't do dynes at our shop, theres a place next town over who does it.
I don't normally post pictures of my car online like I should haha so no personal instagram page for just my car only. I should create one soon though.
When it gets warmer we should do a meet up. Need more CLS63 fam

I have the S version, not sure if it will work (didn't see it on the website for my year). I reached out to them to see if it's doable.

the S is essentially the same engine just a more powerful tune from factory (increased psi) so yeah all tuners can tune yours as well and since you’re in Boston you should give brentuning a call they are great tuners the owner has an e63s and he did my tune as well he can answer all your questions

I just added you on IG bro..I am also here in Boston. We should link up and drive to Brentuning to see what they can do for us. We should also start our own proper Boston AMG club. This stupid snow keeps falling but I am down to have a meet any day the snow clears. Since I am low on finance now, I will slowly mod my car from now up until the summer and I will keep you guys posted with anything I do.

Hey Wassup Terence? You are the second person I know from Boston area who has the CLS 63. The shop I'm affiliated with is getting the dealer for Eurocharged- its based out of Peabody, MA.
I'm going to tune it with them...can't beat the price. I guess I can be the guinea pig; going to do pre dyne without tune and post dyno with the tune to see if its exactly what they are claiming.
I'll add you back on IG

CLS550 4Matic
Also from the Boston area with a 550 not 63.

You guys are obviosuly adults and can make your own decisions but just be aware that Brentuning has not been too reputable around here.

The owner did have a E63 AMG so maybe he perfected those but i know of a M5 and 550 cars that both have ben ruined by them.

This was a few years back so maybe they stepped their game up. Just a heads up and do some research thats all im saying

Thanks for the head up..Good to know youre also from Boston. We should all do a meet and start a Massachusets Mercedes Benz club. Don't worry we would get your cls550 properly tuned and up to speed too. Are you the guy that has the highlighter colored CLS ?
