If you don't mind me asking why?
The car is 220 horses and 380 lb·ft from the factory, what more do you need?
Actually mate they say 224 bhp-540 Nm 398 lb-ft ,i guess i wanna re map it for the same reason you can buy a brabus box for this model ...answer your question , or should i justify myself some more for u ? The car is 220 horses and 380 lb·ft from the factory, what more do you need?

Easy tiger, it was just a question, your money, your choice but if you want/need a real fast/sport car you should get a 911. To start "improving" what you already got is just a waste of money, but this is just me. Enjoy your car and don't get your pants on fire over a simple question.
Every good mapper will tell you that using a box is the worst thing you could do to a car. A proper tuning mean that someone who have the know-how should write you a custom remap. Every car is different, not two cars are alike. A car with 10000 miles require one map, a car with 80000 require a different custom map. This is especially important with diesel engines because of the spray pattern of the injectors.
Brabos box....wow this sound great"mate". Would you be so kind to let me know how your Brabus box knows the reading from your ECU and the adjustments needs to be made? Do you even know what I am referring to?
There is NOT such a thing as BOX tuning, it never will be. The only tuning is custom written map ON rolling road, full stop. Everything else is just cash down the drain.....but perhaps you know better.
Good luck.

It wasn't a simple question ,it was a stupid question,just like your 911 question .A 911 is not the sort of car you keep long in my trade ,I am in the motor trade and buy/drive lots of different and interesting cars/vans/4x4s , but i always keep a nice diesel car for my day to day driving tow a caravan once a year , this merc is a very unusual disignio edition,very high spec panoramic roof etc and is hitting 35+mpg with even me driving it ,can a ramped to death 911 give me that ?
I just after some info/advice on a good remap for the this car thats all , i was looking for a brabus box on ebay but none on there

This part of your post made my day.... You are in the motor trade and you want a BOX TUNING? Asking around here for a tuner recommendation around you?
Some people are so entertaining
I rest my case, have a good evening "mate"

Not just a car salesman, but a "very well" mannered one as well with very polite language... no wonder there is a bad perception for people like you in the UK...Now if you have not got anything productive to say or add to the thread then why dont you go away like a good lad .
One more question? How do you know how thick is the pig sh!t? Are you rolling at one in your spare time?

Ask Chris Harris about 320 V6 E Class diesel estate he ran when he was at Drivers Republic. It was fitted with a Brabus tuning box supplied by Mercedes. It's a very common way of tuning these cars. Nothing wrong with a remap by DMS but if you want the factory option it's a box.Every good mapper will tell you that using a box is the worst thing you could do to a car.

Most people who get their car remapped aren't looking to turn their estate car into a 911, what they want is a little more performance, a bit extra economy, or a combination of both. With the price of fuel now having a bit extra MPG always helps, BT have recently had many of their vans done in order to save on their annual fuel bill.

Agree with your post, however if you "read" his post No 4; "this merc is a very unusual disignio edition,very high spec panoramic roof etc and is hitting 35+mpg with even me driving it"
It doesn't sound like he is driving estate for a start, by his own admission he has a heavy foot. So if he goes for a DMS remap we are talking just above £1000 quid to gain perhaps 3/4 miles if he can stay away from enjoying too much all this new power. How long it will take him to recover this 1000 quid before he see any benefits?
This is my point.
It is like buying Toyota Prius for 27K just because you could get 60MPG... I rather buy Golf TDI for 16K and get the same MPG plus 10K in my pocket.
This is why I've said that if he want a performance is better to get A performance car in the first place.
There is a E55 for sale here in Pistonheads for just over 3500 quit.... now we talking performance. I've owned one of them years back and it was faster than any Porsche 911 back then.

Wasn't suggesting that this car is an estate, just meaning that quite a few people in cars you wouldn't expect to be looking for remaps have it done, last week I saw a mazda 2 1.4d, often see people carriers like renault espace, citreon picasso etc. Spending £1000 is a lot, but you can get quality remaps for a quarter of that price.
I understand you saying if you want a fast car, buy a fast car, but also if someone has something they like and want a little extra then a remap is a cost effective way of achieving that.

Someone please take me to a 911 or a E55 that will hit 45 mpg like a e320 cdi 
Unlike Pavka007 , i have actually bought and sold many of the cars hes mentioned and creams his draws over , most of them won't his 20 mpg on a good day .
I will stick to running a diesel , prefer the option on 45+mpg to 20 mpg any day me .
