Considering BRABUS K8…

I’m considering to go for the K8 performance package. Can someone give me an idea of what the kit consists of? And how much it costs?
I would also like to have some feedback from K8 owners, and whether it’s worth all that extra money.

This should help:

you can also go with the evosport pulley and software to suit. That should boost up your performance.

Let me know if you're interested.

I'm going to venture a guess of well over $200k for the full K8 package. Not a great "deal" if you ask me. The car will depreciate like a rock. In that price range, I'd rather wait for the new AM sedan or Porsche Panamera.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the Kleeman K4 is a better option since it cost as much as the Brabus K8, but gives you about 161 Hp increase, while the Brabus K8 gives you just 61 Hp. That's just my opinion.
