Yep, if you want a RHD with the full 800PS/ 1,000NM conversion then it has to be ordered from a UK dealer, come here and then get sent back to Bottrop. Worth the wait though 
If you want LHD, Brabus can source directly and cut out the middle man
I've only got the stiggy basic E63s. The acceleration in yours must be mentalist If you want LHD, Brabus can source directly and cut out the middle man

May I be cheeky and ask how much it costs? (The Brabus bits) feel free to tell to mind my own! Also can you spec certain bits ie just the performance bits and leave the extra visual add ons so it looks ‘standard’ or is it a whole pack? Looked at these myself Am I right in thinking the full 800 pack you need the exhaust which is only compatible with their own diffuser?
Brabus things are reassuringly expensive I'm not going to discuss costs (and discounts) on a public forum but Merc Brooklands will do the honours if you're a potential customer. All their programme is modular so you can do the engine bits on their own without the wheels / carbon / exterior / interior stuff.I don't know about the exhaust and 800PS as I ordered it all so never asked if the 800 kit needs the exhaust. Looking at their press release for the AMG GT63 S 800 version released today, you might assume that it does.

Disappointed to see only a handful of fast Volvo's.
Thought I'd add the second V60 Polestar to the thread -
350bhp
Permanent AWD
0-60 4.8s (apparently)
Build 149/700
Came from a B7 RS4 and love the sleeper / Q car look.

3.0 or 2.0 one?

Did you drive yours standard before the Brabus work? How does it sound now? GT3ZZZ said:

Did you drive yours standard before the Brabus work? How does it sound now, assuming it still has the switchable exhaust? G13NVL said:
Cheers, I can’t afford an E anyways but been looking at a c63s estate to replace my 204 saloon and see Brabus do a 650 pack for it but as is usual if there is no price I usually can’t afford! Did you drive yours standard before the Brabus work? How does it sound now?
For the powerkit only supplied and fitted by MB dealer will be approx 5-6 k Did you drive yours standard before the Brabus work? How does it sound now? G13NVL said:

C63S is a lovely car as well. The E is quicker but also bigger and less nimble. Did you drive yours standard before the Brabus work? How does it sound now, assuming it still has the switchable exhaust? hepy said:
I have a 2017 4 drive one and the stupid noise thingy is still annoying!
Flipping fast, luge the family around, a do everything car but a bit soulless.
Likewise, I had a 300 ST 4Drive. I didn't think it felt that fast so I stuck one of those DTUK boxes on it. Approx 360bhp, which isn't earth-shattering, but the mid-range felt ridiculously quick. The pick up from 70mph was like something far a far higher league of performance car.Flipping fast, luge the family around, a do everything car but a bit soulless.
Sadly the DSG didn't like the tuning box, and it started smoking from both ends so I off-loaded it before it potentially went pop. My own silly fault.
But whilst it had speed in abundance, it just sort of lacked any major vice or character.

This thread is epic. I love estates but I just don't 'need' one.. But your red 507 is just magnificent it must be said. Miss my old C63, that 6.2 is a proper concorde piece of engineering.

I cant comment on the power pack, but I enquired about the Brabus cosmetic bits and pieces for my E63s - I have the saloon but I imagine the cos to be the same or near enough.For the front splitter, rear diffuser, Brabus sports exhaust and tail pipes is £10,320 exc fitting from Scuderia Car Parts, in Surrey. That oddly excluded the front 'B' grille.
On living life fast's YouTube channel, they had a B700 which is based on the E63s saloon and it cost £170k. Given that the base car with a few options was circa £90k can you can sort of work out the Brabus cost. Bravo to whoever has done it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai8ud3QEhcE

uhuh... you can keep your Fezzas and Lambos, it's all the car I'd ever need...
Am I right in thinking these have a full custom interior?? pics if so?
The custom interior is optional but I did have my seats, door cards, headliner and lower dash retrimmed, along with Brabus pedals, shifters, door pins, badges, mats etc. I'll find some pics to post.Am I right in thinking these have a full custom interior?? pics if so?
