still deciding between this (cls55) and e55, and sl55 somewhere in between (:p)...
my only concern with the E is that it will get replaced soon, isn't it? if i recalled correctly benz's lifespan is 7 years correct?
edit: hmmm any idea how much this kit is? at first i thought this was not for sale, only exist in brabus's rocket car...

The E still has a few years left though it is due for a facelift next year. It comes down to your personal preference. The CLS is an attention getter, the E stays under the radar and the SL is in between. I would go CLS55 (obviously, lol) because you get heart stopping looks with SL55 power for $30K+ less.
The real question is, do you want the 5.5K or the 6.3NA?

I don't think that's a Brabus kit. It doesn't have the quad fogs, and the chin is too low. The wheels are Monoblock VI though. The car is also sitting a little too high

Knowing MBZ's cycle, the E probably have 3 years of life left after the facelift. Add one more year of trial and error period for the W212 and you'll be at about 2010 waiting to get into a new beast, which hopefully has a 6.3TT :v
This is plenty of time for you to enjoy the refinement of the E55. As VelocitE55 said, the CLS gets all the attention, while the E is more subtle. For me, I chose the E over the CLS and am planning to replace all the badges with black chromed ones to be even more stealthy.

6.3??? hmmmm now its really confusing, but i think i'll go with the 55 tho.. i like the sound of benz's kompressor...
i like e because of Teej55!!! his 55 with mkb kit is so hot, makes me wanna lay my hand on another e (i've had 3 of them in the past, can't never get enough of them). is the facelift subtle or is it major?
and yeah i think the cls is somewhat different from the rest of the benzo... when i first saw it in pictures, i thought, meh, it looks boring... rears look like fords (lots of these in aussie)... and then i saw it in metals... man do this baby looks amazing, i almost got one during my trip to sf last month, cls 500 in white with amg kit (actually for my sister, but she prefer the new gs430)..

06' CLS500. 07' Cayman S, Track Audi A4 (500+ HP), 07' Ducati 1098, M6 (on order)
I don't care how fast that car is. Way to ruin the lines of the car by putting that shovel of a bumper on it.

I was wonderin the exact same thing. I guess it really is brabus. Not like them to put something out like that but what do I know. They have definitely surprised me with their new wheel designs...

I like this kit, but I think their new rim designs blow.
