There is no such thing as a 'Kleeman' E class. Its just the make of the tuning box that someone has plugged in. (Google Kleeman tuning box). Kleeman are a reputable firm so the box should be one of the better ones.
Performance figures are
Standard KD-BOX
Power Hp Torque Nm (lb-ft) Power Hp Torque Nm (lb-ft)
4 Cyl
200 CDI 115/122 250/270 (185/200) 140 / 150 300/320 (222/237)
220 CDI 136/150 315/340 (233/252) 175 / 180 385/410 (285/303)
5 Cyl
270 CDI 170/177 370/400 (273/296) 204 / 212 450/480 (333/355)
6 Cyl
280 CDI 190 440 (326) 225 520 (385)
320 CDI 197/204 470/500 (348/370) 240/250 600/625 (444/463)
320 CDI V6 224 510 (378) 270 610 (452)

So on a 320 you're looking at very useful increase of 40 ish BHP and around 100lbft torque. Should be very noticable though the insurance cost will probably creep up a bit.

Useful information there. Particularly apposite to another thread this morning, where a member is considering mapping v chipping:

Have you any ideas on costs, or any information about how effective these are in use?

Hi All,
There is one for sale, it was on ebay, when i spoke to the owner he said the engine was a standard e320cdi Avantegarde?, so I assume that Kleeman was some kind of body kit, Similiar to AMG & Brabus.
