kleemann c32

404hp kleemanns conversion for the c32 states.......-1.1 0-60 difference than stock, that means, autocar "uk" test drove the c32 and gave a 0-60 4.6.
minus 1.1 from the kleemanns ======3.5sc 0-60.. Yummy.

BTW Autocar is highly reputable here in the uk as been highly accurate with there performance figures.And all this wont cost a fortune either.

I think you can order the components sperately - but I don't think you'd get any coverage by the factory warranty if something breaks.

The kleemanns 404 is an ecu and pulley upgrage " stage 1" so therefor it wont do on a c55.

As for the price. it costs here in the uk approx £2.500GBP.

£2.500 for a couple of pulleys and engine software ???? why so much, is it because they thing mb owners have money coming out of there a$$es.!!!

Probably to account for the fact that they can't sell in high volume as tehre are fewer AMGs out there than other specialty brands.
