To 99% of the population any C Class, even a Brabus one, looks like $35K c-class with a different badge or spoiler.
To those in "the know", you get tons of respect, but that's a lot of cash for status amongst a very small group of people.
To each his own, though, and no doubt Brabus is sweet.
Certainly wouldn't kick it out of my garage!

Question -- Where does one take a full Brabus car for routine engine maint.?
Where do you take it if something goes wrong with the engine?
Will MB dealers service these cars if Brabus parts fail?
If you can simply go to MB for service, that makes a great case for practical daily use, as opposed to having to have your car serviced at the Brabus facility

picked one up already...
I was just wondering if anyone had any step by step instructions on the installation. Want to tap it into the light switch system instead of the cig lighter. where it might be constantly on while the car is on.

i was able to get 2 Brabus Shiftknob from a local tuner long ago..
1 in alu design - was sold to allen
1 in walnut desgn - just installed.. after more than an year...
I have both OEM English/ German Installation Instruction. However allen has made a better instruction (with pic.), for those who need one just let me know
Its fairly easy to install, shouldnt take more than 25min.

Negative on that. Let me repeat, for the 3rd time, BRABUS has received fresh inventory about 1.5 weeks ago. They have it in plentiful stock from right now, as of Feb 16th, as in Feb 16 of this year, as in 2004.
