Brabus B50

Hello,

I'm looking to buy this 2011 B50, are there any issues I should be aware of with these? How rare are these, since I havent been able to find much. I'll probably remove the headlight tints and change the wheels to brabus monoblock F (disregard the front spoiler damage); any other suggestions?

Thanks!

make sure what brabus you buy
there are two kinds of brabus
1 is a CL600 send to Brabus on customer order and where brabus upgraded the engine > this one has a MB VIN > value like a AMG or slightly higher
2 it's a brabus directly build by brabus ( a real brabus ), these have a BRABUS VIN > Value very high

looking at your wheels, this is case 1 or worse or wheels have been replaced

Thanks! I checked with the seller and it was built by Brabus (VIN etc all matching). The wheels were changed by the previous owner for unknown reason (the tints were added by him too). He's giving me a very good deal (cheaper than an CL63 AMG). Will update once I purchase!

Great
you can always ask Brabus to double check, you always respond clearly
do not ask any owner or further history related things, they won't answaer that
just "was this car upgraded or build by you and what options"
info@brabus.com

they always gave me this information
good luck with the buy !

told you

they are nice for getting the real info
ALWAYS check before you buy
personally I would prefer buying a non Brabus vin car instead of a Brabus vin one as the price is bargain compared and performance strictly the same

happy for you

can't wait to find a V12 like that one day

Quick update!

Got it all cleaned up and repaired, removed the smoked lights, painted chrome etc. Changed the wheels to Brabus Monoblock F Platinum (center wheel caps were put in after the photo). Flushed out and put in all new fluids.
Brabus exhaust sounds incredible and it drives awesome. I'll add some more pictures if y'all want! Currently working on a 2-door W460 conversion to M113 engine with a 70cm lift and Brabus Adventure Package, will add info on that too!
