what about my "random" statement about renntech and brabus being a more "proven product" needed more "detail"? its simple they have been around longer on a more elite level. they have provided more mb drivers with much more reliability, status, and pure mb enhancements.
regardless of how upset you are, or how much you love kleemann, i simply stated my opinion and you jumped on me for it. i couldnt care less about kleemann, i havent degraded them at all, just stated my opinion about the credibilty of others. not everyone is gonna agree with you about your tuner.

You are hilarious. I have no relationship with Kleemann. I'm not taking it personally, but you don't even make sense. I know who Renntech and Brabus are and have already acknowledged that they are far more established tuners. Why would that upset me? That doesn't really change the fact that your random comment had no relevance to the discussion. Nevertheless, if you feel the need to justify yourself, babble away.

I don't think anyone was trying to criticize Benzo's ride in any way. This is a car forum after all isn't it?
i read the thread and know exactly what its about. now how about you read the thread and see what benzo posted on the previous page. i wasnt agreeing with benzo cause you were criticizing his ride, i was agreeing with him cause i agreed that you kleemann guys are quick to jump on any thread that doesnt give kleemann credit. always trying to start a war of words... please. yes, it is a car forum... but it doesnt need to be dominated with talks about kleemann and how great it is etc.

You truly are master of the obvious. I understand exactly what you were agreeing with, however, I don't think that is what happened in this thread. You obviously have a different perspective.

No doubt. The cost of the C55 and a blower really make it a hard choice when you can have a tuned C32 at a significantly lower cost.

He knew exactly what I was talking about. But that isn't even the the point. I don't understand how you interpreted my question, "What's with the JamE55 hijacking?", as a criticism of his opinion.

That was over a year and a half ago- and yes, I was mistaken. I never said I am the know-all, end-all in MB tuning. How can one grow without making mistakes?? And thank god for Brandon-he lets me make my own mistakes so I can learn from them.

Jeez, I feel like I startd this whole mess!! Benzo- You know my point was not to degrade your ride, or your tuner choice, I was merly pointing out some incorrect facts in some of your previous posts. I'm sure you'll have one bad-*** C32 when your done! So......back to the original post- Congrats on your new ride Benzo! I know when I got my new car, I couldn't stop staring at it- you having the same problem? :p

As far as blown superchargers, not legal in Germany, internal upgrades required, etc., where are you guys getting your information? Can you sight some examples or are you making things up? And yes, my truck is making over 550 dyno proven horsepower.
Haha look at what I started.

I'm only posting what I hear. I never said it was the gospel truth. I just want to know why someone would even say something like that about Kleemann if there wasn't some kind of truth behind it. Can anyone shed some light on this? Was Kleemann once prevented from selling there stuff for a period of time? Or is this all pure rumor that I have heard?

And how about you G55K? Just coming in and your first post is immediately defending Kleemann. Seems kinda fishy to me.

If Kleemann is so great, then how come I've only heard about them on MBWorld? It seems like Kleemann always talks about how they are better than this tuner and that tuner while the other tuners don't even feel the need to really acknowledge Kleemann.

I may be just blowing stuff out of my butt for fun though. Let's see what else there is out there.

Just some food for thought.

Crapbuster,
Actually I'm not just coming in. I used to post under JME but changed my sign on name. I've had a Kleemann system on my G for over a year now and really enjoy it. My experience with Kleemann products and the people working there has been excellent, just a fact that I wanted to share. I've got nothing against Renntec and/or Brabus, they're both excellent tuners. But in my opinion Kleemann was the best bang for the buck and I still believe that I made the right decision. I'm just sharing my experience with a Kleemann product, what's so fishy about that?
