Brabus Tunes Into New Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205

[shotchaser]

At this stage, there are two available power tune-ups, beginning with the B20.2 kit for the gasoline-powered C200 that lifts output by 41PS (40hp) and 30Nm (22 lb-ft) to 225PS (222hp) and 330Nm for a 0-100km/h (62mph) in 7.0 sec and a top speed of 242km/h (150mph).

The other package is the D3 for the C220 BlueTEC diesel, which adds 50PS (48hp) and 50Nm for a total of 220PS (217hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft), cutting the 0-100km/h acceleration time to 7.1 seconds and increasing top speed to 240km/h (149mph).

Newbie here and owner of a 2014 C-Class: C220 AMG-line. Wondering if anyone here has had any experience with Brabus and how much a kit and tuning upgrade like this would cost?

£3.3k for the bare body kit, plus paint and fitting..

so with all of the styling options (rear exhaust, alloys, emblems, badges, floor mats), i'd be looking at about £10k

they say it's recommended to install on a vehicle under 2 years old and has done under 18,000 miles - is there a reason for this?

finally, does the brabus warranty cover the vehicle itself, i.e. not just the add-ons. i'm pretty sure i'd void the merc warranty with these upgrades.

If the D3 is fitted by the dealer and the car is <2yrs and 18k miles then the MB warranty is maintained but limited to 60k miles. Presumably MB have assessed the additional stress on components.

The body kit if fitted by the dealer is unlikely to void the car warranty, except where it could be shown to have contributed to the claim. Pretty standard get-out clause.

If the car is bought with finance, I believe you would need the finance company's ok for the modifications. And the insurance company's ok

Brabus have offices in London now at Park Lane, Nice and friendly might be worth a chat.
