I got to see a CLS55 run a 12.0 on DR's with just a tune. 85 ish degrees and probably 2500 ish DA. So that was pretty good. I think they're around 400 lbs heavier than the E too.
Tire pressure, tire selection, burnout, launch rpm, and throttle application is all there is to a good launch.
After that you just watch them in your rear-view if things go well.
I just posted this over on MBWorld, so I copied and pasted below:
Here are the wheel specs of my setup: 18x9.5 et 45mm
Tires are MT ET Streets, 265/40-18
Without spacers the wheels clear the calipers by approximately 1/8".
