I have a c63s amg coupe edition 1. My local dealer put a renntech tune and BMC filter on my car when I purchased it. All factory warranty retained. But that’s the only company they deal with. Night and day difference in the car.I’m assuming a tune voids the powertrain warranty on that car? I wouldn’t want to be the unlucky bastard that blows one of those up, has to be pricey to fix out of pocket

There are always mod friendly dealers out there who will add performance parts for their customer. There's usually no issues as long as you bring the car back to them for warranty work. Due to the cost of this engine though, I'm sure MB will send out a warranty rep to look the car over in the event of a catastrophic failure. I can't see the dealer taking a hit like that or being able to override MB procedure.
MB is very proud of their engines, all of them You'll spend $20K on an E350 engine replacement. I had my parts guy look up an 18 E63s engine, no pricing availability yet. But based on what I typically see, I'd ballpark $80K plus labor.
It isn't. MB the manufacturer is not going to warranty drivetrain on a car that has a Renntech tune. A client of mine found that out the hard way. He had a 14 S63. He put a renntech tune in it. Engine developed a cam issue, timing. MB asked for logs. Warranty voided.
MB requires electronic log on every warranty repairs. There's no way they can get something pressed through unless the dealership itself is eating the repairs.
oh their no joke! the first time I took his out I was like Holy Shit this things fast! it was as fast as my Grand National and I had EVERYTHING done to that lol and he had a pulley, alky kit and several other mods can't remember but it was wicked!
RE: voided warranty.. beuge dich vor und spreize den arsch
I sure hope you have that in writing that your dealer will cover the costs... lol
Wow, that's big bucks!! I guess it depends on how it's all optioned out. Must be a really nice ride.
I was referring to the guy in the video. He said his car about 88-90K.
80K,...............PLUS labor?!?!?
Yep. That is one of the reasons why the values fall so much after warranty. If something happens you better have money put aside.
Only way I'd ever buy an MB, Audi would be lower miles CPO car and I wouldn't touch it. I know there are a few exceptions, the old E55 seems to be a fairly solid car, but I wouldn't play roulette with late model car sans warranty.
Great movie
movies rarely make me lose my shit, but I died laughing during that scene in EuroTrip. RoadTrip got me too, the nurse milking homie's prostate...OMFG!
The MB cpo is hard to beat. I've purchased two e classes in the last year. The first was an 06 e350 with 150k miles for $3500. I sold it for $5k to one of my techs. The latest is a 13 e350 with 105k miles for $9800. I plan on keeping it a year or so and selling it fir around $15k. Both bought new and religiously maintained at the dealership. Hard to go wrong with a base e.

That's funny Dave. I'm still cracking up bro!
Sex drive is also a good one!
I’m guessing it will be 130+ tuned. The Audi’s usually trap 122-125 stock, and can go as high as 136mph with just a tune and good gas.
