Brabus AMG E55 (W211)

[A-AvantGarde]

Oh dear, not a bad car as an E55 but can't see why it should be badged as a Brabus AMG (doesn't look right)

'10K WORTH OF BRABUS BRANDING PACKAGE' Hmmmmm, twin triple exhausts too!

Brabus did a v8 211 but it was a 6.1 litre engine, based on the E500.

Apart from some nice rims and some silly exhausts this offers nowt over a E55.

Looks a beauty though

 

[momomo]

Too many exhausts, doesnt look right....

 

[Gareth]

so wrong on many levels.

 

[CRS]

Not bad once you remove some exhausts

 

[A-AvantGarde]

Yep, that's what I thought. It looks like a nice E55.

Just need to replace the exhaust and remove the Brabus badge....

There was a E55 based Brabus K8 on Autotrader a little while ago. That example had 64,000 miles. The same one possibly?

If it's not the same, I can't see why the guy would spend £10k on Brabus badging, an exhaust and some wheels.
He should have focused on upping the power and a LSD

I think brabus did an "EV12" for the 211, the same engine they planted in the CLS, no?

Back end looks like someone has been to Halfords and stuck on a couple of back pipes from a Nova. Bound to get keyed by some idjut!!!

Do we

a) send the picture to top gear for them to have a laugh?
b) send the picture to Aston Martin so that they can build the next James Bond car with rear facing rocket launchers ?

More of a Batman car!

Hows he mounted 3 pipes at the back looks sXXt!

Get rid of them chavvy exhausts and the Brabus badges and it'd be perfect.

 

[Crazyjester900]

nice look car.
Horrible exhaust

 

[whizzkid11]

Its the Brabus package, guess that is styling pack not engine.

Why is everyone slating those exhausts.... they are branded...

 

[Kompressor_Dude]

Needs more exhausts....

One per cylinder as an absolute minimum

 

[Howard]

Must have had some tuning if it is 500 bhp , as a stock E55 is 465 isn't it ?

Or is he just ' bigging it up ' ?

I stopped reading as soon as i saw the word ' RARE '

 

[A-AvantGarde]

Think he's bigging it up.

Not sure how much the exhaust would cost, however with the wheels it's got to be about 5k, maybe 6k at a push.

Just wanted to work out what this supposed £10k upgrade was...

I don't think it's had any engine work carried out.

 

[Howard]

That exhaust is just nonsense ...

Any more than two each side just smacks of ' Barry ' , Brabus or not ...

 

[pint6x]

I'd put an E220CDi badge on the back
