Obviously you got money to burn. I don't. I got 2 kids to feed. I never burned an engine, and do not intent to. Especially C43 engine.

Thank you man! I wonder if any of you know a dealer so we can mass order them? Would that be possible? I know there are people ready to buy front brake sets.... This is not the thread, but we can open one for the brakes or go to the one staplegun opened.

front rotors and pads cost around $300, not $900. All the MB now all have 2 filters buy the K&N or Green Filter so you don't have to replace them and only needs to clean them.

I am lazy to find that post now, but the C43 engine itself is $38k or $39k, look around the forums, you'll see. Nothing to do with brabus.

so my suggestion if you do blew a motor and it's not repairable; get a new car or get the Brabus engine if you only want to upgrade the engine or find a used w210 E55 motor.
