white and whiter

it's a bigger engine build from the 3.5L M112. Brabus takes the original engine out and replaced it with an already built one.

i knew this car existed. he was a member on benzworld long time ago. first time seeing interior pics tho. the interior along is probably $5-6000.

it'll be interesting to see how much this car will get because my local shop owner had a 2002 Brabus CL 5.8 and it only fetched around $25k.

Wouldn't be too hard to drop an ML350 engine into a C320. Brabus made these "3.8" engines before the MB 3.7 hit the market.

ML350 3.7L = 3724cc
Brabus 3.8/3.8S = 3709cc

They put a 3.8 badge on a 3.7. please forgive me if I take "Brabus engineering" with a grain of salt.

this trend has been going on for a good decade with all the manufacturers (63 amg but 4.0 twin turbo , bmw 330i with a 2.0 4 cylinders etc..) so with the exclusivity of a brabus engine i guess we can let it slip ...

Congrats, I was searching about this car and saw you got one recently. Is it fun to drive? Looks like a lot of stuff was done to the car. 272 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque must be fun.

v280

The V280 Brabus is a M104.900 2.8L engine rebored by Brabus to 3.2L
It is not the ML rear wheel drive mentioned above at all. The M104.900 unit is front wheel drive which back then, Mercedes hadn't produced so licensed from VW for the Mk1 V Class only.
