Don't get me wrong, I do like and respect the A45 AMG. I was very close to placing an order for a CLA45 AMG last year, the engine is best in its class for 2.0 capacity, it's just I think the 2.5t and S-tronic that's in the RS3 is the better place to be.

Yes, RS6 is a beast, 560 upto 730 with a map should be a laugh. Ordered it in Sepang for September delivery although have been going back and forward between the new Nardo colour too...

Are remaps available on the A45 AMG now or are owners still limited to tuning boxes?

Yeah ticking every box on the configurator gets you to £136k

I've been sensible with the options list on mine, couldn't afford it otherwise. My only concern with the Sepang blue is its becoming a little common throughout the Audi range, the Nardo is a new colour, not many of them around but yes I agree, some people just don't get it, say it looks cheap, battleship grey, base primer, forgot to put the paint on etc. Have stuck with Sepang for now, build not until july so got a couple of months to change my mind on the colour.

That's good news on the ECU, 465hp is further than I thought they would get, great numbers. A friend of mine has a SC Weistec C63 that has been tuned by MSL, they had an RS6 on the dyno last week (Facebook page) and it sounded incredible. I think if I had an AMG I would take it there.

Is there any indication of a facelift for the A45/CLA45? The RS3 has literally just pipped it with 367ps (362bhp) - I would think Mercedes will give theirs a boost now especially if they're mapping upto the figures you've mentioned
