Does it come with a warranty? I'm sure that MB would be washing their hands of it and it'd probably be like puling teeth to get a 3rd party tuner to cover expensive MB warranty work. Say you screw the transmission or something in the driveline especially, I imagine you'd be fighting over both companies trying to wash their hands of it. It seems more like one of those "sounds good on paper" things. Yep, tuners have been making massive HP from small engines for a while....but a year or two down the road? Hell 5 years? If they aren't making the cars to last this long, then it's just a smoke and mirrors thing IMO, and even BMW and others aren't really doing this either, with some of the cars like the M5 and others that just can't keep their engine parts together for that long.
