Hi, Im looking at a 2003 S350 W220 with about 165K on the clock, and was considering options to improve economy and performance. I'm new to this so please excuse the newbie q's!
I do a lot of highway driving, but also get stuck in peak hour crawl. I'm mainly after better fuel economy but wont complain if I get more power into the bargain!
For economy I was considering either an ECU remap or aftermarket chip. Any suggestions?
What about transmission ratios?
Air filters?
Is there any point putting a supercharger on it or will that just negate the economy gains from the remap / chip? If a supercharger would be ok, are there any non-Merc options that you could suggest (the genuine Benz parts are pretty pricey - hence Im not considering a turbo due to installation costs).
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
