Hello all,

Having had a range of cars over the last few years I have purchased a 2012 W212 E350 CDI and am currently waiting for it to be delivered Thursday.

I am interested to see what people have to say about first owning these? Any little features or niggles you noticed or didn’t know about when you first got it.

Dispute not having the car in my possession I have seen a lot of good stuff about GAD tuning and feel it may need to head up to Essex in the coming months. But would love some input from those that have this car over their results and what difference they have noticed with daily driving MPG also as I do a lot of motorway miles where the extra power won’t really be needed.

Thanks all in advance, look forward to becoming part of the community.

Cheers,

Dave

Welcome, Dave, great motor your getting, with a fantastic engine, you'll love it.
I've had mine mapped, although mine's an E class coupe, but same engine, makes an already fast car into a really fast car, but still with good MPG.

Thanks for the reply. Do you remember what kind of power and torque gains you achieved? And was this tuned through GAD or somewhere else?

Welcome From another E350CDi Coupe owner with a (GAD) remap. Enjoy the car, if I needed 4 doors, I'd get the same as you!

 

[Dave Wright]

Yeah I really needed 4 doors but also wanted power and comfort and for the money I don’t think Anything else compared!

I got mine done at ,
DC Remapping in Warrington
becauyse they are close to me, and I was well pleased with them.

Mine's the 265bhp, & 620 Nm
torque model, which went to
300bhp & 714 Nm torque, so nice gains, what I will say though you definitely want to get a before and after dyno readout, wherever you go.
