W211 E320 modding Q's...
So i'm thinking about picking up an W211 E320. Here are the mods I'd like to do. Can anyone tell me the prices and feasibility/availability of the mods please?
Brakes: W211 AMG BBK- Straight bolt on no mods?
bodykit: Brabus / Expression ...what else is nice out there? No AMG no thanks.
exhaust: whichever fits w/ the kit
Wheels: 20" baby.
Suspension: which ones slams it the most? No airmatic.
Alright that's all
thanks

I would be interested to see how much your modifications would cost compared to the price difference of buying a second-hand E55.

Still 10k away from the E55, but I dont have the cool stuff like the rear sunshade, heated seats, digital A/C, active seats. but I think this car is not gonna be a show car like the others I've had in the past and is just gonna be my daily driven car. Sure I'll mod it a bit, but not all hardcore. My next show project will be Japanese and RHD.

2004 E320 with AMG bodykit
I can help you out with the AMG big brakes..
I just installed them on my 2004 W211 E320, it's "almost" a straight bolt on (i thought it was but once I had installed at the dealership they had to do some modifications)..
I got it for the equivalent of USD $3300, installation and re-programming of StarD cost me around $400 But then again dealership prices here in Dubai are cheaper than the States (from what i've heard)
Braking is noticeably sharper, better yet, there's no annoying break noise that I got from my OEM rotors/pads

The AMG BBK are really cheap. I think it was something like $1700 in parts for the front only when I got a quote from my parts dept.
I'm interested in knowing what modifications are needed if any.

Anyways, what I remember (vaguely) was that a certain part had to be sent to the workshop for adjustment.. Problem is I'm in Australia now on business for around 4 weeks but if it's urgent I can call back home and try to get hold of the service advisor who did the job

This is what I've read so far. Either you buy an E55 Spindles for the front or have your existing spindles for a non AMG car modified a bit to accomodate the E55 brakes. The rears are simple, it will just bolt on. This is what MBenzNL (Steve) told me. Steve has a 6 piston and 8 piston for the fronts for sale.
