Opinions on this Brabus please

What does the panel make of this?

Mercedes e320 cdi BRABUS D6 FDSH 300 BHP ultra rare car, fully loaded vehicle | eBay

Have not worked out how to do links thing on new software (suitably abashed)

Not a particularly highly spec'd E class, with some Brabus bling and tuning box added.
Looks smart but I personally wouldn't consider it.
Not sure what the red message on the cluster is showing but red is never good..

Not a bad spec at all, I'd have said; I can't see anything particularly desirable missing. A bit Barry if it has LED lights underneath, though, but you could easily get rid of those. Facelift front end, which I prefer to the pre-facelift. 300 bhp? Well, Brabus only claim 270...

I'd not pay that much, but the magic of the Brabus name may find him a buyer. Good luck to him; it's a nice car.

That's a trick of the light, not a red dash message, note the mileage section is the same colour.

It's not that special to be honest, not a full fat Brabus. - should have different alloys as it's had a factory fitted kitchen.

Looks clean and does at least have the Brabus front (and rear?) bumper(s) which are not cheap. Most just have the tuning box and a sticker.

No Distronic, no ventilated seats, no dynamic/comfort seats .....

 

[mattc]

Thanks for the comments thus far. Would this have been converted at Brabus or a dealer ?

[mattc]

Thanks for the decode. So do I email Brabus with the VIN and ask if they did the conversion or can one of you guys tell me from the data above?

 

[Doodle]

I don't think there's anything there that couldn't have been done at the dealer tbh. It's just bolting on the new bumpers, applying some stickers/badging and strapping the tuning box into place.

It’s a pretty rare car, it has the Brabus pack; Brabus Airmatic lowering module, Brabus tuning box to take it to 272bhp (not 300 in the advert), Brabus bodykit (which would have originally included Brabus alloys), Brabus exhaust and Brabus illuminated sills.

Looks a nice spec too.
