Hi, anyone here had a re map / ECU upgrade from Brabus / Carlson etc

Thinking about it but is there a real noticeable difference

Cheers

Which 350 do you have (265hp or earlier).

I have the D6S fitted to my E-class but I think it is the same engine as yours, and MB actually seem to fit this to some 'special editions' of the CLS - also to the new shooting brake.

TBH, I have been 'underwhelmed' at the difference this made to the overall performance of the car - particularly the 0 - 80 sprint. This box only delivers the additional power when in 'sport' or 'manual' mode. In sport mode the 3>4 and 4>5 upshift happens at 4k rpm which is a long way past the maximum torque revs of the engine. I wrote to Brabus asking if they had considered changing (or could advise on changing) the gearbox shift points. Thus far, their response has been to change the D6S for an upgraded software version which will be fitted tomorrow. They seem confident this will sort it, but as of now, with the original software and the high cost, I would not recommend it. The only upside is it does not invalidate the warranty on a new car. I'll post back next week after I have tried the new software version.
 
Many thanks. Apparently I will end up with 270+ HP and its a 219 I'm told ???

Really would like it to be impressive or I will end up getting an ST and modding that as a weekend car but would rather not.

Any update or did it go B A N G ! :p
 
I had the Brabus D6s when I bought my E350 CDI 231, but really did not feel the power was huge difference to my old d6 w212 so after hours of trailing the web and loads of research on diesel tuning ended up contacting Andrew at DTUK, I will be doing a full review on the DTUK tuning box and pedalbox soon but just for now let me tell you its a huge difference from the D6s chip, the power delivery is fair more obvious from standing start right up to mid range from 60-100mph and I still have 4 more even more aggressive maps to try out ! give them a call you will not be disappointed
