I like the relocation of some of the controls, but I can't help thinking 100K USD would better be spent on something such as a brand new S-Class, an new E-Coupe and a used SLK, or any number of other options. Interesting nonetheless.

I've been trying to source a lumma front bumper or something like that here in the U.S.

Put the wheels that the white m3 in the background has. Holy cluster relocation, batman!

Interesting and good effort. At least the inteiror doesnt looking cheap like on a normal 202. But for 100k not worth it in my book. I love how they relocated things.

I can appreciate the quality of the workmanship, but otherwise it's an ergonomic nightmare.

Why would you move the HVAC controls to the back of the center console? Same for the seat adjustments.

It's on the door for a reason- so you don't get confused what what switch moves what part of the seat. It's just scrambled.

I would've taken that 100k and turned it into a DTM replica or full-race track car.

Or, a W211 E55 with some serious tricks to done it..Also, leave the switches where they are usuable by a human, not a chimpanzee.

Yea I totally agree, I consider that interior ruined and the switch positions are horrible.
I'm pretty sure we all would've spent that money more wisely.
