Hi

I would really suggest getting it to a good specialist - try MBS in Southampton, they have been really good with both my cars, have extensive knowledge and are very reasonable.
Also, did your garage swap the coil packs around to see if the fault followed? If it did then the issue is the coil pack, if not it could be as simple as HT leads or something more expensive. Faulty coil packs can blow the ECU if you are really unlucky but MBS will be able to diagnose this.

Cheers

I'd agree with that, even get it to a recommended re-mapper with a rolling road and they'll give it a good shake down. Your average mb independent wont necessarily know about tuned cars and the common problems they have!

So far found the problem!!
Last week I had my c32 booked in with MBS of Southampton which are very GOOD and I would highly recommend! The diagnosis of the misfiring was cylinder 6 As its got piston and barrel damage!!! The only thing what could of caused this is a poor remap, MBS say they have never seen an Amg eat itself from the inside out just my luck!! So next stage is second hand lump and new map.......
