2012 Mercedes B-Class initial tuning package by Brabus

​

The all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class (W246) is just rolling out to markets across Europe and Mercedes tuner Brabus already has a basic tuning package prepared. Although BRABUS ECO PowerXtra performance kits for the direct-injection gasoline and diesel engines are still in development, Brabus offers exterior, suspension and interior accessories for the compact MPV.
For the exterior, the starter program consists of a lower spoiler that attaches to the OE front bumper and a rear bumper lower insert panel with two cutouts to accommodate the stainless-steel BRABUS sport rear muffler with four chrome-plated tailpipes.
Ride-height is lowered by 30mm via sport springs which are compatible with the standard shock absorbers. Alloy wheels are available in 17, 18 and 19 inches. In the photos BRABUS is showing their Monoblock F cross-spoke wheels with 'Liquid Titanium' finish which can be seen in the pictures on one side of the vehicle. On the other side there are Monoblock Q wheels with five double spokes. Preferred tires sizes are 225/35 R 19 in front and 255/30 R 19 on the rear. Brabus endorses tires from Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama. Also available for the B-Class are Brabus' Monoblock E and S wheels in size 8.5J x 19.
Brabus interior upgrades include two-tone stainless-steel scuff plates with BRABUS logo, aluminum door lock pins and pedal pads. As with any vehicle coming from Brabus, custom upholstery in any imaginable color is also available as well as a host of multimedia equipment including iPad integrations.

Nice to see they bothered to level the rear view mirror.

Usual Brabus GCSE Photoshoot standards.

I like it,

The more I've seen the inside I love that also

could upgrade the Current B class my wife has.

The more I look at Brabus stuff lately the more it strikes me as being the automotive equivalent of a vajazzle.

Mostly unecessary and not really enhancing what was there to start with.

Only like the quad tailpipes to be honest...rest is indeed OTT

 

[BTB 500]

Not keen on the wheels on the LHS, but I like the rest.

lets face it it looks better than most compact MPV's out there IMO.

I quite like the look of it even with the Brabus parts on, Brabus are fairly conservative if not the most conservative Mercedes tuner - with the exception of their supercar creations... look at Lorinser, their recent stuff is what nightmares are made of to me.

In black from the front it looks very mini-vito!

Not a fan of that kit to be honest, I much prefer the standard one. I do like those quad exhausts though.

They didnt exactly choose a good model to start off as showcase using at least a SPORT would have been better. Have to say only thing tempting is the exhaust to get nice symetry on the rear. Otherwise its the performance kit I'm keen on

Check the date, its over a year old this thread! before the Sport came out.

err fair point but both sport and se where available at launch. Considering the links they have with benz I'm sure if they wanted they would have got hold of a top end model, they do for other lines. Most likely as this is not seen as a major roll out
